April, 1983

It was 40 years this month that firm principal Alan Tannenbaum arrived as a young trial lawyer to Sarasota to join Dan Lobeck in running Becker Poliakoff’s initial office on Florida’s west coast opened the year before. He met his first wife and mother of his four children, Sharon, a year after he arrived.

He now finds himself still practicing law here in Sarasota (and still enjoying it) with partners Jon Lemole and Cindy Hill, supported by talented and dedicated paralegals Jen Bodenhamer and Kim Peers, his children are employed and well situated in D.C, Tampa and Orlando, and he’s living a great life with his lovely and brilliant bride of seven months, Michelle Sukin Colburn, who very ably serves as the firm’s administrator, CFO and Business Development Director.

Unlike this guy, he has no egrets.
