Our local newspaper, the Sun Sentinel, published an article on the “Jewish American Bar Association.” If you’ve read my past posts (first here, then here, and then here), there is not much new in the story. However, for those who haven’t, I think it does a good job of introducing the issues. First, I want… Read More

A week ago, I saw something that really pissed me off. As I wrote in my September 11, 2010 post, it was an advertisement on a bench that said “PREER A JEWISH LAWYER! Jewish Lawyer Referral Service. JEWISH AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION.” If you want to see the ad, check out my original post or my… Read More

I’m hesitant to write yet a third post on the “Prefer a Jewish Lawyer!” bench ad, (you can read my first post here, and my second post here), primarily because I’m afraid of coming off as an obsessed nut. However, Congress still hasn’t taken any action on the estate tax, and I just can’t bring myself… Read More

This past week Jews observed the holiday of Rosh Hashanah which is the New Year on the Jewish calendar.  Happy 5771. Right now we are in the middle of the Aseret Yemei Tshuva or the 10 Days of Awe, the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is supposed to be a time… Read More

I’d like to follow up yesterday’s post, regarding the bench ad that says, “Prefer a Jewish Lawyer!” I’m afraid that I may have changed the intended focus of my point when I used the words “anti-Semitic” in the post’s title. If you notice, the title of the article is “Shockingly Stupid Anti-Semitic Attorney Ad Right Across… Read More

I enjoy living downtown, near my office, Las Olas Blvd, and of course, being across from the court is very convenient. The reason I am saying this, is that when I was driving home today, I saw the… Read More

I’d like to put something out there on the table. I’m a tech nerd and an Apple fan. I’ve been a fan of Apple computers since my dad bought an Apple ] [+ when I was about 9 years old. Since then, I’ve owned many Macintosh computers and other Apple products, although I have occasionally… Read More

I’m going to take a little detour from writing about estate planning to write about being an estate planning attorney, and different ways that I find clients and generate business. This post is a modified response that I wrote to the Solosez Listserv. Solosez is an email discussion list hosted by the American Bar Association… Read More

I am both fascinated and touched by this New York Times Story about Yitta Schwartz, who when she died last month at the age of 93, possibly had 2,000 living descendants. According to the article, Mrs. Schwartz, a member of the Satmar Hasidic sect, had 15 children, more than 200 grandchildren, and too many great… Read More
