Linda Kocalis Corwin

We are a group of personal injury attorneys who needed a lawyer to draw up a partnership agreement, negotiate and review our leases and negotiate with our landlord for a rent reduction to help us through a rough patch. Ms. Corwin accommodated our busy schedules so she could meet consistently with ...all of us. Not easy to get all of the partners (all aggressive litigation attorneys) to agree on anything. She had the ability to get us to realize goals in the order of importance and guide us toward achieving the important goals. Not easy for us to give up trying to control each other, or her. She taught us how to better evaluate business decisions and how to negotiate to come to agreement instead of negotiating to crush others.

A group of businesses including mine consulted Ms. Corwin about some very difficult business issues regarding a big competitor which was trying to put us out of business. Ms Corwin was able to represent our group being fair and responsive to all of us. She managed to negotiate a contract which all...owed all of us to peacefully coexist and continue in business. Her cleverness allowed her to make some suggestions to guide our group in purchasing inventory and supplies at a group discount which lowered our cost of doing business. She also made suggestions as how to share some big expenses pro rata among ourselves . With Ms. Corwin's legal and business help we were able to cut our costs and compete very effectively against this competitor. So we are ALL still in business and doing well. Interestingly, we all are becoming good friends in our group and brainstorming to improve all of our businesses.
