I want to thank Nelinia Varenas of Breakthrough SEO Marketing (breakthroughseomarketing.co) for the support and effort to launch our Automotive Dealer Services website (atlante-ds.com) and market our offerings in this space.

I want to thank Danny Cooper for sharing his knowledge of the law and making introductions to new capital partners for our multifamily apartment business.

It can be very confusing for anyone who is considering a reverse loan as there are so many more options now then there were in the past years. I really appreciate Jerry reaching out to me on behalf of his girlfriend. At the time she wanted additional funds for remodeling projects and it made sense to her and Jerry to utilize her equity for that purpose instead of her investments. Thank you, Jerry, for allowing me to assist Arlene in the acquisition of her new loan and trusting me to complete the transaction for her.

I'd like to thank Ethan Samuels for being a great evangelist on R&D credits. He has given me a number of leads and contacts, and always stands ready to help. My hope is that many of the people I write will also take advantage of his services, and that I can flow him leads as well.

Thank you, Chris Lake, for your introduction to your Regional Vice President at Business Group Resources. Chris is a very warm and talented Research and Development Tax Credit adviser and a very quick study. She saw the potential in collaborating with my wealth management team to provide strategies for some of her company's tax credit clients to deploy those credited funds where they can provide the best possible good for those clients. Chris's RVP, Richard Toral, is also Life and Health Licensed, and I will be able to ensure that he is credited as writing adviser for any solution we write. In addition to being a student of her craft, Chris is a very collaborative professional and believes, as I do that great gains can happen when professionals are willing to pool their talents.

I would like to thank Ethan Samuels of Wealth Management for an excellent referral today to Christine Ross of Addition Building & Design in Sherman Oaks. Ethan is always looking to see how he can help others and is a great member of All Cities. He also gave both Howard Blum and I some great insight into how a Universal Life Insurance policy can help us retain our wealth going into the future. And he did it on very little sleep, as his little one has him up during the night. Ethan is extremely knowledgeable and a great asset to All Cities.

I would like to thank Nelinia Varenas of Breakthrough Marketing for her outstanding work as a Linked-In consultant. I had had a profile for 10 years on Linked-In without really understanding how to make the best use of it. Nelinia has modernized my Linked-In presence and shown me how to get much more out of it. In ten years it had never led to any business. But since working with Nelinia recently, I have been retained twice in significant assignments through Linked-In. Thank you, Nelinia!

I want to thank Denise Boroff of Necie Business Solutions for referring me two of her clients. We are working together to provide wealth management solutions for these two great young men. One of these men owns and operates a series of preschools throughout Los Angeles. The other owns a 501(c)(3) that provides environmentally-friendly irrigation and landscaping solutions to urban areas in Los Angeles. Both of these men could not have been more complimentary of Denise as a devoted professional, an advocate, and the consummate "momma bear" for her clients. She is one of the most tenacious, industrious people I have ever met, devoted to providing competitively-priced benefits to her clients, and saving tens of thousands of dollars in tax credits for many of these same clients. If you own a business with greater than one employee, you owe it to yourself to spend 30 minutes with Denise.

I would like to thank Ethan Samuels of US Vet Wealth. Ethan specializes in out of the box financial , insurance and retirement solutions for veterans and others. Ethan referred a matter to me that involves allegations that former employees of one of Ethan's clients took customer lists and other confidential data of the customer for use in starting a competitive venture. I would also like to thank Howard Blum (Best Lawyer Uncovering Money) for suggesting to Ethan that he should reach out to me for this assignment.

I would like to thank Alexis James of WorkWise Law. Alexis concentrates on employer defense and employer compliance matters for her management clients. Alexis brought me into a matter to assist one of her clients where the client alleged that its former employee had misappropriated trade secret and confidential information and data.
