"I had to defend my livelihood, my restaurant and hired Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C.. A year and one half later I ended up being saved by that very law firm. ... Thank you very much to Colin Kaufman ... Adam is a go getter, ball buster; a guy who does not accept losing basically. I am already working on a new lease for a different place with the same law firm."
