The alarm goes off at 6:00am. Fifteen minutes later, coffee in hand, you walk into your office and turn on your computer. You are clad in a Boston Red Sox T-shirt, your husband’s Fruit of the Loom® boxers, and a pair of AniMules fuzzy giraffe slippers. Is this the perennial nightmare that you’ve shown up to work in your pajamas? No! It’s part of the home office dream, where you can earn money without having to dress up or put on a pretty face.

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.
