Today we are happy to have Eliot Goldstein on the podcast. Eliot is a veteran lawyer with specialty in Estate Planning, Business Planning, Estate Administration (Probate), Estate Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Guardianships, Commercial Real Estate and Residential Real Estate. We brought Eliot on the podcast because we felt that there is so much that people don’t know about law, and especially the profession of a lawyer. Eliot walks us through his story and how he came to own his own practice from a legacy of lawyers. We also talk about how the law works and how it is evolving.
