I would like to thank Alexis James at Work Wise Law for her wonderful presentation regarding the ramifications of the Dynamex court case. I was able to restructure my business and I was able to inform and help prepare several colleagues in the insurance and financial planning space. She was thorough, meticulous, well-informed, and a very effective communicator.

I would like to thank Sean Hesami, The Bank of the West, for the numerous commercial real estate referrals. I'm currently assisting a gentleman in the acquisition of an automotive center in the San Fernando Valley in order to complete his 1031 Exchange. Sean has referred me to numerous buyers and sellers who are interested in commercial real estate. He has an enormous resource for all types of financing and extremely favorable rates and terms. Bank of the West also offers very high savings rates, so now is a great time to call Sean. Thank you so much Sean! Your Added Value Real Estate Broker, Mike

I would like to thank Steve Fenster, real estate attorney with Schwartz & Fenster, for an outstanding job he did representing me in a litigation regarding a $10,000,000 1031 Exchange representing the buyer and the collection of my commission. Steve was extremely knowledgeable and methodical in every aspect of this case plus he gave me tremendous support and guidance throughout especially in selecting the best Mediators, Expert Witnesses and Judges in order to negotiate the very best Settlement. The case recently settled in my favor during the Mandatory Settlement Conference and my commission was wired to the bank on May 24th. Steve is truly the consummate real estate attorney! Thank you so much, Mike

Thank you to Howard Blum for helping me determine the feasibility of seeking damages against a former colleague. This former colleague had been conducting side deals with a number of my first clients with US Vet Wealth. He traded on the credibility of our name and our story to convince these clients to fork over large sums for services that were never rendered. Howard was more than generous with his time in helping me determine the proper course of action in ensuring that I took appropriate steps to prevent this guy from contacting other clients of mine.

Thank you to Gary Minkin for taking the time to help educate me on a tax efficient premium financing strategy for those clients with large insurance needs who lack the requisite liquidity to self-fund high premium Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILIT's). He also took some time to help me modernize some of my marketing materials. It is a testament to both his expertise and his correct understanding that success is not a zero-sum game.

Thank you to Alan Insul for taking the time to assist me in preparing a Stock Purchase Agreement for my client. Alan is a specialist in doing corporate deals, and he enabled me to select from options I had not considered, and thereby provide the best service to my client.

I would like to thank Jeff Cristol of Fit Right Financial for referring a a potential client to me, whose company does business all over the world. Helping our clients navigate the challenges of working in multiple currencies is one of our many specialties.

Thank you to Stephen Strocker of AFLAC! Last year he went out of his way to help me set up two policies with AFLAC (which pays YOU in case of life-altering health events). One of the benefits is that they also pay you to take care of yourself. In spite of the fact that I don't have to pay for my well-woman annual exams/screenings, AFLAC pays me bonuses for doing the screenings. Stephen was also wonderful in helping me set up my online account so I could apply for the bonuses.

I want to thank Michael Lipton of TPx Communications for referring me to a friend of his who is starting a wine importing business and needs to make payments in foreign currencies. I appreciate the vote of confidence Michael, and look forward to saving your friend a lot of money on the cost of the currencies he sends, and by eliminating fees for him.

I would like to thank Taura for coming out to visit my apartments in Pacific Heights on a rainy day. This is not the right product for her client but she is smart to be out and about examining the inventory. Something good comes from activity. Always a pleasure to see her around!
