Getting the most from your attorney

Getting the most from your attorney

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Okay, I get it.  We’re a big ticket item.  We come with a bad reputation.  We can be nasty and ugly (although I’m kinda cute) and speak in a strange jargon . . . where it seems we’re deliberately trying to play intellectual one-upmanship games with you to let you know who’s the smartest guy/gal in the room.  You’d rather undergo root canal without anesthesia than deal with one of us. And yet. And yet, we can be your greatest support system.  Your protector.  The cool head prevailing when you’re ready to lose your mind.  The one who talks you down off the ledge.  And maybe (if you’re lucky enough to work with me), we’ll tell you a joke or two and make you laugh, so that you realize the world won’t come to an end if that truly awful deal doesn’t close.

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.
