Why won’t just any ol’ attorney do? This is the situation: Unlike many other careers/vocations, attorneys have to be specifically licensed to practice law. Licenses are granted by a particular state. That means that we have to take (and pass) an exam qualifying us to practice law because, as many of you may know, a little knowledge can be dangerous, and we’re entrusted with a very special role.

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.
