It's not lawyers as usual - Kaplan Saunders Valente & Beninati

Heather Kuhn O’Toole

"Don’t let lawsuits turn your world upside down. Business owners should never let disputes blind them to the fact that they are running a business and the goal is to make as much or lose as little money on a lawsuit as possible."
Richard Demarest Yant

"Lawyers often do not pay enough attention to tact and diplomacy. We are the representatives of a business and our being impolite or difficult can corrode the relationship between the decision makers and destroy the trust necessary for a successful transaction."
Francis A. Beninati

"No one likes thinking about what might happen if they die, but no one really has the luxury of ignoring that forever. Estate planning, or wealth preservation, is valuable to almost everyone, even those whose wealth is their children and not their money. The cost may seem momentarily high, but the value is often priceless."
Charles A. Valente

"The most common misconception I face from clients is that a dispute, litigation, arbitration, mediation, or negotiation requires a winner and a loser. I can safely say that this kind of thinking has cost a lot of clients far too much in the way of attorney fees, expenses, resources, and anguish. My role is to understand both my client’s and the adversary’s motivations and to place my client in the best position to achieve the client’s goals with the least risk. There are no magicians. There is always risk."
Frederick M. Kaplan

"Most often, less is more. Tom Sawyer was incredibly wise when he wrote 'I’m sorry for the long letter, I didn’t have the time to write a short one'. Saying things clearly, in plain English and without redundancies is good business and good legal work."
