Love and loyalty explored in legal thriller

Rosenthal, defends him in a very public trial.
“One of the themes… is the lengths people will go to
protect the people they love,” said Mitzner. “When you love
someone, you love them in spite of their flaws and bad acts,
but there’s a limit to that. To me, that’s the theme of the
book.”
“These are people who truly love each other. Like Rachel
(a partner in the law firm who’s in love with Aaron, her
mentor) and Aaron,” he said. “Like Aaron and his wife.
They’re willing to do whatever it takes to protect each other.
As lawyers, it’s interesting because they adhere to a certain
code in their professional life. But would you adhere to the
same code if it was a personal issue?”
The relationship Mitzner enjoyed writing the most in this
book was Sam and Aaron.
He explored their father/son, mentor/protégé dynamic
because it’s one thing to say that someone treats you like a
son and another thing to actually treat you like a son.
One thing that Mitzner doesn’t go into is how Garkov
learned about the affair, begging the question: How did he
find out? Mitzner has an explanation for that.
“One of the rules is if it’s not in the book, I don’t tell peo-
ple what I think because I feel like it’s cheating. My view of
it is: If it’s not in the book, a reader’s interpretation is as valid
as mine,” said Mitzner. “In this case, it’s deliberately not stated.
I have my idea about it, but I didn’t state it because I want
readers to think Garkov can find anything out,” explained
Mitzner.

‘Losing Faith’
Debut of author’s latest novel set for this month
BY KURT ANTHONY KRUG
Legal News
Author Adam Mitzner has no desire to leave the law pro-
fession to write full time.
“I truly enjoy doing both,” said Mitzner, 50, a partner at
Pavia & Harcourt in New York City, where he lives with his
wife and four children. “I have no immediate plans to do
that. While I’m able to do both, I want to continue doing
both,”
An alumnus of Brandeis University and the University of
Virginia School of Law, Mitzner has been a practicing attor-
ney since 1989.
Mitzner’s latest legal thriller “Losing Faith” (Gallery
Books $26) – his third novel – debuts Tuesday, April 14.
The plot centers around Aaron Littman, who has it all:
He’s chairman of one of the world’s most prestigious and
powerful law firms, has a beautiful wife named Cynthia
who’s a doctor, and adoring twin daughters.
“The books start less with the story and more with the
character. It’s about someone who reached the pinnacle of
success and how fleeting it can be and how hard it is to
maintain and the risks willing to take (to keep it),” explained
Mitzner.
Several years ago, Aaron had a brief love affair with Judge
Faith Nichols, while she presided over the case he was trying.
Nicolai Garkov, a Russian businessman charged with
bankrolling a terrorist bombing, learns about Aaron’s affair
with Faith, who’s presiding over his case.
AdAM MiTzner, a new york attorney, already is at work on
his fourth novel.
Garkov blackmails Aaron into serving as his lawyer in the
hopes he will influence Faith’s ruling in his favor.
If not, Garkov will make their affair public knowledge,
which will be the end of both their careers.
Inevitably, it comes out when Faith is found murdered and
Aaron’s the prime suspect. Aaron’s friend and mentor, Sam

Does social media provide a competitive edge?
Leslie McGraw, owner of
Les Go Social Media Mar-
keting and Training, is a
multimedia content strate-
gist who helps lawyers
understand, market, and
use social media to their
advantage.
A blogger, online content
writer and freelance jour-
nalist, McGraw has pub-
lished more than 200 arti-
cles.
She is a member of the
Ann Arbor Writers Group
and co-leader of All Things Artistic Ministries, Inc. (ATAMI)
Writer’s Group.
McGraw is a recipient of The Leaven Center’s Eleanor S.
Morrison Scholarship for Creative Writing for Social Justice
and the University of Michigan Distinguished Diversity Lead-
ers Award.
She recently spoke with Sheila Pursglove with the Legal
News.
Pursglove: Why is social media important for law firms?
McGraw: Everyone intent on bringing in money should
have a social media presence — including those in the legal
community.
The Internet is now the trusted and most-used method to
search, research, and find a lawyer. In 2005, 7 percent of con-
sumers used the Internet to find a lawyer – in 2014 that number
rose to 38 percent.
Ten years ago, online marketing meant a website, an e-mail,
and perhaps a marketplace or informational blog.
Now social media adds intrigue and depth. Legal websites
must have current information, responsive design for mobile
users, and a quality landing page with a clear explanation of
why you exist.
Social media is an extension of the website and customer
service, and is where consumers discover the “personality” of
the firm.
It is also where happy (and disgruntled) clients can publicly
share experiences and “vote” on the best (or worst).
Potential clients can Google news articles where lawyers
and firms are mentioned, find photos from community events,
read about recognition and awards, and more.
Most importantly, social media gives attorneys the opportu-
nity to shape what stands out online and to create value for
prospective clients.
Social media marketing campaigns almost always have to
take on a teaching role to educate the public about resources,
laws, process and expectations that are required to achieve
results for clients.
Social media can “demystify” legal terms and concepts that
are formal, granular, and often incomprehensible to the layper-
son.
Legal awareness has increased with the onset of legal educa-
tion for the public. The Internet is full of unauthorized legal
advice; and America has an ongoing love affair with courtroom
drama specials, movies, novels, and TV shows.
The bar has been raised for high-profile criminal law with
the increase of real-time, raw video footage.
Civil and social justice advocates often use visual story-
telling to press for urgency and attention on issues.

Residents urged
to work to prevent
child abuse
See PURSGLOVE, Page 2
Since 1985, April has been nationally recognized as Child
Abuse Prevention Month and Gov. Rick Snyder has officially
declared it such once again in Michigan.
The Michigan Children's Trust Fund has used this time each
year to acknowledge the importance of families and communi-
ties working together to prevent child maltreatment in all of its
forms.
Officials note that recent news stories have highlighted the
need for people to speak up if they see or fear something is
happening to a child.
Michigan’s toll-free child abuse hotline, 855.444.3911, is
professionally staffed 24/7 year round.
“We can be a powerful voice for Michigan’s children and
work together to prevent child abuse and neglect,” said Nick
Lyon, interim director of Michigan Department of Human Ser-
vices. “Whether we’re focusing on improving our services to
children through our programs, or calling to report concerns to
Michigan’s child abuse hotline, we all play a role in ensuring
our children are safe and protected.”
Between now and April 15, officials say, one way for tax-
payers to help is to contribute to the Children’s Trust Fund
(CTF) when they’re filing Michigan state income tax forms.
All funds raised through this check off go directly to efforts
to protect Michigan children.
A highlight of the month is the seventh annual Michigan
Prevention Awareness Day rally scheduled for 11 a.m. on
Thursday, April 23.
This year the theme is the “Power of One” to signify that
one person, one community, one dollar or one action can be
life changing for a child.

Tour on behalf of residents
with disabilities continuesAfter kicking off the MI Hidden Talent Tour with stops in
Livonia, Marquette and Saginaw, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and
Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein recently announced
the remaining tour stops, where they will tell the story of how
companies benefit from hiring Michiganders with disabilities.
The tour is an initiative created by Calley and Bernstein to
show business leaders the value in hiring the untapped poten-
tial of Michiganders with disabilities that are often overlooked.
“We continue to hear from employers about struggles to
find the right people with the right skills to fill positions within
their companies,” Calley said. “What we are doing now is ask-
ing for employers to take a fresh look at Michiganders with
disabilities who have often been overlooked in the past.
“It’s time we tap into this untapped talent pool and focus on
the person first, not the disability. Companies who give talent-
ed individuals a chance to succeed will not be disappointed.”
At each stop, Calley and Bernstein are highlighting a local
business setting an example for others in hiring as well as local
partners available to help other businesses follow suit.
“We have already received great feedback while advocating
for people with the passion, skills and energy to contribute to
our workforce, but just need to be given a chance,” said Bern-
stein. “We are working to show business leaders what is possi-
ble and what can happen when employers give someone with a
disability a chance.”
Typically, he said, when any modifications are made in the
workplace for someone with a disability, “the changes tend to
benefit the entire workforce.”
The remaining tour stops include:

Trio reappointed to
indigent defense panel
Gov. Rick Snyder has announced the
reappointments of Kevin Oeffner of How-
ell, Jon Campbell of Otsego and David
Schuringa of Allegan to the Michigan Indi-
gent Defense Commission.
The commission was created as a result
of efforts to improve legal representation
for low-income criminal defendants.
In 2011, Snyder issued an executive
order establishing the initial Indigent
Defense Advisory Commission, responsi-
ble for recommending improvements to the
state’s legal system. The recommendations
served as the basis for legislation to
address the need as well as called for the
15-member Indigent Defense Commission
that the governor signed into law in July
2013.
Appointees will serve four-year terms
expiring April 1, 2019.
Woman’s family wins
appeal in lawsuit tied
to fall at Kroger store
ST. CLAIR SHORES (AP) — The
Michigan Court of Appeals has reinstated a
lawsuit over the death of a Kroger cus-
tomer who tripped on a hose.
In a 2-1 decision, the court said it can’t
be “seriously disputed” that a garden hose
near a store entrance is unexpected.
Karen MacAskill was dropped off at a
Kroger store in St. Clair Shores in August
2012. The 69-year-old tripped on a hose
and later suffered a fatal heart attack linked
to her injuries.
The hose was partially covered by a mat
while a 16-year-old bagger was watering
flowers outside the store. Appeals Judge
Pat Donofrio disagreed with the majority
and said the hose should have been obvious
to MacAskill because an employee was
watering plants.
The case was returned to Macomb
County Circuit Court.

MITZNER
(Continued from Page 1)
According to Mitzner, the most difficult part when writing “Losing
Faith” was how he wanted to end it.
In his first two legal thrillers — “A Conflict of Interest” and “A Case
of Redemption” — he didn’t give his protagonists clean endings; both
their stories ended on ambiguous notes.
He wasn’t sure if he wanted to repeat that with Aaron or actually give
him some form of closure.
For his upcoming, as-yet-untitled novel, Mitzner didn’t want to follow
that structure.
In fact, the protagonist Jonathan Caine is a New York investment
banker instead of a lawyer, a first for Mitzner.
“Pretty much all three (novels) have extended trial sequences at the
end,” he said. “On the one hand, those are the most fun to write. It’s the
best writing I do because it’s a world I know really well and readers really
like. For me, personally, I wanted to work on something without that kind
of structure. It was a little bit different.”
Anthony Franze, a law professor at the Michigan State University
College of Law, praised Mitzner’s work as did Dennis Rymarz, of South
Lyon.
“Mitzner does lawyers-turned-writers proud with his intelligent stories
that both turn the pages and make you think,” said Franze, author of “The
Last Justice.” “His upcoming ‘Losing Faith’ already has great buzz.”
Added Rymarz: “I received (‘Conflict’) as a gift and while it may
sound cliché, I had a difficult time putting it down.”
“The writing is excellent, and I enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed
getting to know the characters,” he said. “In fact, I even felt compelled to
send him an e-mail, to which he graciously replied. As an aspiring
author, I continually feel inspired and motivated after reading Mitzner’s
work.”
In turn, Mitzner enjoys hearing from fans; for him, it’s one of the two
best parts about writing.
“There’s nothing like when readers e-mail you and say they liked your
book and how it touched them in some way, even made them think about
someone they care about. An unbelievable byproduct of your job is that
you can actually change the way people look at something,” he mar-
veled.
PURSGLOVE
But, often the discussions are more idealistic than
realistic —such as when national attention was given
to Florida’s “stand your ground law” in the Trayvon
Martin case.
Most Americans did not have an understanding of
the law or know that some version of the same law is
active in 23 states. Real-time media and video cover-
age appeal to the court of public opinion but lawyers
make arguments based on current laws while shed-
ding light on what should happen; the client argu-
ment cannot be based on what the laws should be.
Pursglove: How can lawyers use social media to
their advantage?
McGraw: First — it lets people know you exist.
A website should have a map with a link to driving
directions, a Google + business page that has been
verified, and at least one indexing source such as Yel-
low Pages.
Traffic can then be increased with Search Engine
Marketing (SEM).
This includes Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
but is greatly affected by social media content. A
blog, Twitter activity ticker, or event calendar create a
sense of regular activity and pushes the practice
higher on the search results listing.
According to Google, Inc., 96 percent of con-
sumers do not click beyond the first website page.
Colorful Infographics, embedded Smug Mug or
Flickr photos, YouTube or Vimeo videos, informative
and engaging presentations via SlideShare, Current
News plug ins, or other third party apps, can entice
readers to look further – the goal being to have peo-
ple on a website as frequently as possible, for as long
as possible.
Each time a website is listed on Twitter, LinkedIn,
Facebook, or Pinterest, the site is naturally ranked
higher on search engine results. Social media gives
readers a quick intro into an attorney’s passion for
law – and particular specialty. For example, a probate
lawyer can engage and explain why probate law is
important, what probate is, and his expertise in this
field.
Now, for the tricky part…answering questions in a
way that reveals something personal — not as in
something to be shared with a therapist, but some-
thing so human that readers can relate to it, and
unique enough to stand out as an individual experi-
ence or perspective.
Pursglove: How does social media provide a
competitive edge?
McGraw: Good social media campaigns take on a
“giver” personality. With regular engagement on
social media, clients feel connected to an attorney or
firm. And the extra effort is seen as a form of cus-
tomer service.
Social media can help solo practitioners scale up
business in several ways, including customized news
options through Google Alerts, creation of a free
phone number with Google Voice, and online follow-
ers lending energy to an online presence and credibil-
ity to the practice. Social media can help consumers
differentiate between general and specialty law prac-
tices.
Social media can help qualify client leads as it
discourages consumers who want something differ-
ent from your niche, and encourages curiosity among
prospects that may find you a good fit.
Pursglove: What sort of social media is important
to attorneys?
McGraw: A well designed and engaging website
is a must. Google + and Linked In are good places
for Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Con-
sumer (B2C) interaction, with a professional look
and feel.
Creating a Google account will open up a large
world to engage with. The first step is listening;
Google + Circles and LinkedIn groups will allow you
to do that. Follow conversations in a few groups and
you will start to see the same information (and mis-
information), questions, and quandaries. Implement-
ing these into your “talk” can help you be seen as rel-
evant online and offline.
Listening and engaging in discussions with other
attorneys can help you craft your own “pitch” as well
as gain access to resources to share with your follow-
ers (which hopefully translate into client leads).
Blogs are important and healthy for websites, and
can be as short as 150 words and occasionally just a
picture or infographic.
Each blog post does not have to include fresh con-
tent. The requirements for success include consisten-
cy, relevancy, and quality. That could mean one origi-
nal item four times a year, and re-blogged articles
from other established bloggers every couple of
weeks.
Pursglove: What appeals to legal consumers?
McGraw: Free stuff. Anything that appears to be
free yields excitement and is a powerful marketing
technique. Free answers to common questions, tips,
e-books, and resources all create value for con-
sumers.
But before the free stuff is offered a buzz must be
created. Internet radio, talk radio, and event sponsor-
ships create buzz and drive traffic to your social
media. A content creator or social media specialist
can help tailor your campaign for the greatest impact.
Pursglove: What social media mistakes do you
see made by law firms?
McGraw: The biggest mistake is not being on
social media. Playing it safe will keep you unaware
and distant from clients and potential customers.
Social media keeps you in tune with current events in
the community.
Local, regional, national, and global events and
the response from the public on social media can
give you a crucial edge on the competition and help
you to potentially see other angles of issues your
clients may be facing.
Pursglove: What are potential pitfalls?
McGraw: (1) Voter-heavy social sites and “friend-
ing” can be dangerous as you are often judged by
who you are connected to, almost as much as you are
by your content.
(2) Don’t argue online. Ever.
(3) Address publicly, make amends, or discuss pri-
vately.
(4) While maintaining your professionalism,
remember your social media still must be engaging
to be effective.
(5) Sites specializing in abbreviated text, e.g.
Twitter, Kik, Snapchat, leave too
much ambiguity and could be
misrepresented or taken out of
context by followers. Twitter is
recommended for presence, but
the communication must be con-
trolled and monitored.
ABUSE
Highlights of this day are a rally, procession and the planting of a
pinwheel garden to show support for child abuse prevention programs in
the state.
The pinwheel is the national symbol of child abuse and neglect pre-
vention. It also symbolizes the belief that every child has the right to
grow and flourish to his/her full potential within a nurturing environ-
ment.
Prevention Awareness Day also serves as a legislative education day
by giving advocates the opportunity to discuss prevention needs and
current programming in Michigan with legislators.
“The Children's Trust Fund is excited and pleased to see our partners
from across the state of Michigan engage in numerous public awareness
efforts and activities,” said CTF Director Michael Foley. “This is anoth-
er opportunity to set the stage for a positive and affirmative commit-
ment for all Michigan citizens to do their part to help assure that Michi-
gan children are treated with dignity and respect.”
CTF, currently housed within the Michigan Department of Human
Services, serves as a voice for Michigan’s children and families and pro-
motes their health, safety and welfare by funding effective local pro-
grams and services that prevent child abuse and neglect.
Since 1982, CTF has generated more than $60 million to support
prevention programs and services in communities.
Additionally, CTF funds 73 local child abuse and neglect prevention
councils that serve all of Michigan’s 83 counties and administers more
than 20 community-based direct service grants across the state.
