A Lifeline During a Complex Business Dispute

When our small manufacturing company faced a serious breach of contract and intellectual property threat from a former partner, we turned to Norman Zalkind. His 32 years of general practice experience, particularly his deep roots in the Boston legal community, were immediately evident. Mr. Zalkind didn't just see the legal problem; he understood our business and the personal stakes involved. He expertly navigated the dispute, leveraging his broad expertise to craft a strategy that avoided a costly, public trial. The resolution he secured protected our company's assets and future. His calm, strategic guidance at Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP was exceptional. We felt represented by a true counselor, not just an attorney.
