Summer 2021 Newsletter STILL STANDING…AND PRACTICING I published the first issue of Social Security & You in Spring of 1993. Some years I’ve published more issues than others.

In 1999 I moved from Detroit to Ann Arbor. A year later I had to move my office when the landlord didn’t renew my lease in the City-Center Bldg. on Huron. That led to a 5 year sub-lease arrangement on Liberty with legendary feminist attorney, Jean Ledwith King.
In 2005 the new landlord did not renew Jean’s lease. I was fortunate to land a spot sharing space with 3 other attorneys, back in the City Center Bldg.
Their lease was up in February of this year and in view of the rising rents in downtown Ann Arbor we explored alternatives. We landed in a small professional complex out by I-94, near Briarwood Mall. The new space is larger, cheaper and affords us the benefit of free parking just a few yards from our suite; a benefit for us and for our clients.
So instead of fighting traffic into downtown Ann Arbor, hunting for a parking space, paying to park and hiking a few blocks to my office, my clients can exit I-94 at the Ann Arbor-Saline Road exit 175 drive north a couple hundred yards to Eisenhower Parkway, turn right and then turn right into the driveway leading to Applebee’s parking lot. Our suite is 110 in the back.
