David Abeshouse was quoted by the online site, LawMarketing Portal, on August 1st, 2007, in an article entitled, "91% of Lawyers Unhappy about Lack of Marketing Training in Law School," by Larry Bodine:  
'Yes -- Learning about lawyer marketing takes a fundamentally different set of mental and emotional capabilities than does learning about the law. It would be a fallacy to assume that simply because one can grasp thorny legal principles, one therefore can truly understand the ins and outs of legal marketing. And then putting them into practice is a wholly different venture altogether,' said David Abeshouse, Law Office of David J. Abeshouse, Uniondale, NY.

Ones to Watch: Law

By Claude Solnik

Friday, May 11, 2007

Just as the solo can be the high point in a symphony, solo legal practitioners can be key players on Long Island. Abeshouse, who goes solo in Uniondale, focuses on business litigation and alternative dispute resolution. His clients include entrepreneurs, professionals and small businesspeople seeking help in litigation, arbitration or mediation. He is also an arbitrator on the panel of the American Arbitration Association and several other forums; in this capacity, he acts as a de facto private judge, hearing evidence and rendering awards that are enforceable in court.
