CM Legal Office

The Firm was founded to modernize and humanize the traditional practice of law. We’re here to change the old school ways of law firms. We strive to be approachable rather than intimidating. We know legal matters are stressful enough as it is, so you’re attorney should be someone you can actually enjoy working with and with whom you build a long-lasting and fruitful professional relationship.

​

We look forward to bring a more modern and personable approach to the practice of law, while we help our clients achieve their greatest potential and success in their business or career.

What makes our practice different

It’s personal

We believe in a more humanized way of practicing law. Our founder didn't start out the conventional way. She  started an independent law practice to avoid falling into the bureaucracy of old school and overpriced law firms, to be able to take a more personal and “hands-on” approach to her client’s matters.

 

We actually love what we do

The legal areas we take care of are not just work to us, they started as Mrs. Kaufman's life’s passion. She didn’t just “fall” into the practice of Business, Contracts and Entertainment Law, it’s been her life-long goal and pursuit, and she's been immersed in them not only through her legal career, but in prior professional and personal endeavors as well.

 

Experience beyond the legal career

It’s Mrs. Kaufman's personal and practical experience in the industries she caters to what also help her  relate to and understand her clients on a deeper and more human level, as opposed to the more transactional approach many law firms and lawyers take.

 

Modern & efficient methods

It’s often said that lawyers are slow to change. We reject that tradition, embracing technology as a tool to help serve our clients more efficiently. We’ve identified many outdated methods in the practice of law. At CM Legal Office, we aim to fix them. Here are just a few of our improvements:
