The Firm:

My Firm, Mansfield Tanick & Cohen, P.A., has a great website filled with interesting articles (including the latest from our eWatch newsletter), attorney profiles, a brief history of the Firm, a description of our practice areas, and information on our flagship program, the INCubation Center for startup businesses.  Click on the logo above to visit the site, and also be sure to visit the sites of two of my partners, Rick Petry and Dan Schleck.

American Association of Microbusinesses:

I have been proud to serve on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Microbusinesses (AAM) since 2008, and to be the President for 2011.  Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the purpose of AAM is to establish the value of microbusinesses and develop programs, services, and strategic alliances that directly contribute to their success.  If you are the owner of a business with 1-12 employees, AAM is the organization for you.  Please visit the AAM website for information on membership, our monthly programs, and other benefits and resources for microbusinesses. 

Social Media Pages:

Besides my firm's website and this site, you can find me on the web on many social media sites -- all part of my goal to be the "First Name on the Brain".  Here are links to my pages on my favorite sites:

LinkedIn:  LinkedIn is the ultimate resource for online professional networking.  Connect with people and learn more about their backgrounds, their skills and, most importantly, who is recommending their work.  You can also join groups formed around issues of common interest, and you can demonstrate your expertise in an area by providing answers to questions from other members.  Most importantly for me, you can find what others think about me in the recommendations section.

Facebook:  there are some people that keep Facebook for the personal and LinkedIn for the business.  I am not one of those people, and I bring friends, clients and contacts alike together on my Facebook site.  Call it my "online clubhouse", if you will.  I combine postings relevant to my legal practice along with my sometimes snarky, always humorous commentary on topics such as sports, politics, and current events.  All viewpoints are welcome; just be prepared to defend your position once you stake it out.  It's all in good fun, of course.

Twitter:  Twitter is probably my favorite of the "big three" social networking sites.  Why?  Because you get to meet thousands of new people.  I use Twitter to exchange great information on business and real estate issues, and to learn from the best of the best when it comes to social media.  Twitter is also great to keep in contact with your "tweeps".
