“I had the privilege to work with Magali “Maggie” Behar for 12 years where she was my firm’s administrator.  Maggie ran a tight ship and was superb in dealing with all of the partners and staff.  She always told us the truth….not necessarily what we wanted to hear, but what we needed to hear.”

“RESULTS! In one word, Maggie Behar provides the results a company needs to operate efficiently, effectively and in budget!  As a result of decades of experience working with professional firms, both large and small, Maggie has developed a keen sense of what needs to be done in order to run an office or offices with the highest level of service to clients, while balancing the needs of professionals and staff, alike.  She is a great asset to have around and helps us be successful!”

“Michael Smith is the most impressive management consultant that I have met in my 34 years of practicing law. His knowledge of law firm operations, and the problems and difficulties often encountered by law firm managers, is unparalleled in my experience. More importantly, he has practical, pragmatic and workable solutions for every problem.  He is a world class problem–solver due to his keen insights, deep knowledge base and his unique ability to think ‘outside the box”.

“Michael Smith is in a league of his own when it comes to moderating thought provoking and stimulating roundtable discussions. He extracted a wealth of information from an otherwise ‘tight lipped’ group. His expertise within our industry has made him an invaluable resource to our group. He not only can ‘talk’ about issues confronting our clients; he has had real life practical application in dealing with the very same issues.”

“Michael will capture the essence of needed change in an organization faster and more effectively than any (consultant) we ever retained.  He pulls no punches, but can help and organization work through difficult change with a velvet glove.”

“I have had the pleasure in working with Magali Behar in excess of 10 years in her capacity as the Plan Administrator for two different companies’ retirement plans. Ingham Retirement Group was both the Registered Investment Advisor as well as the Third Party Administrative Firm for these retirement plans. During this time, I had found Magali to be hard working, knowledgeable, perseverance, accurate and friendly in our business relationship. I look forward to the possibility of continuing working with her in her new endeavors.”

“Michael has provided great value to us with his insightful analyses of different business issues facing our Company. His ability to focus on critical issues and provide practical suggestions continues to help us grow and develop. He continues to be a valuable resource to us and is always available for a call.”

“I worked with  Maggie for 5 years at a prior law firm where she was the Office Administrator. During that time, I saw first-hand the manner in which she effectively oversaw all aspects of our firm’s administration.  When I recently opened my own firm, I reached out to Maggie for strategic planning assistance. Maggie is organized, thorough and detail-oriented and has proven to be a valuable resource to our new firm.”

“It has been my pleasure to have worked with Maggie Behar for the past 10 Years.  Her level of professionalism and knowledge was exceptional.  Her work ethic and effectiveness is only surpassed by her administrative skills. In her duties as a law firm administrator she showed a capacity to interact with non-professional and legal staff and the outside accountants with ease and always providing timely information and creating systems to assist in the management of the firm. I would not hesitate to refer her to my clients.”

“Michael is the best meeting facilitator I’ve seen in 35 years of business.  He is terrific at setting agenda and keeping people on task.  His ability to manage even the strongest egos is impressive.  His listening skills coupled with his ability to help crystalize thought into action helped us form an entirely new business model in our industry.”
