I help attorneys make strategic moves.

I’m the founder of Holtz & Bernard, a boutique attorney recruiting agency in Miami. I focus on getting attorneys where they want to go.

This is where I keep notes on the books that shape how I work and live, track my live poker results, and share the projects and music I’m working on.
