How many times do you need to hit yourself in the head with a hammer before you get the lesson? Over the years, it took me several times … and several different hammers … to identify my niche market (“sweet spot”) and stick with it. One nasty hammer was a landlord/tenant matter that my then-law partner and I took on. The client owned a building and was trying to rid it of non-paying tenants.

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.
