Protect Your Assets Before It’s Too Late

Changes In Life = Changes To Your Life Plan
When I got out of law school in 1997, some classmates were talking about opening up their own offices. I thought, no way, that isn’t for me! I want to get a paycheck, save for retirement and make partner someday. I also had no plans for having a child either. Fast forward to 2005 – […]

The Philosophy of “More Cowbell”
One of my all-time favorite Saturday Night Live skits is More Cowbell with Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon. The actors are portraying Blue Oyster Cult recording their hit song, (Don’t Fear) The Reaper.
