No Jews Allowed By Marc Dubin, Esq.

I knew it was coming - well it came. The yelling, the childish tantrum, the threats to leave, the reminder that she can’t, the threat that she will go to the judge and have the guardianship ended, she hates me, she hates “my son”. I reminder that she has no where to go. And that […]

It’s a very nice place to set up business - only problem is - it has browsers, not buyers. The folks are friendly, the place is clean, it is totally accessibly, free parking, a wide variety of merchandise, near Eastern Market - what more could you ask for? CUSTOMERS!
