How to Choose and Use Attorneys

How to Choose and Use Attorneys

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

I have vivid (and not always pleasant) memories of the dating scene. There’s a huge amount of pressure to find “the right one.” But how can you know? Who’s really ideal for you? The answers to those questions take a certain amount of introspection. First, you have to know your needs and desires. Do you want to be with someone who lives locally or are you willing to move? Do they need to be handy around the house — or in the kitchen? Is financial stability (and therefore, their earning potential) important to you? Does it matter if they have children from a prior relationship? Next, there’s the chemistry factor. It reminds me of the old Jewish joke of the man in his early 30s whose mother was desperate for him to be married. He was very picky. He had a list of 99 qualities that his ideal bride had to have.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
