The Leffs moved to the Valley from Chicago in 1978 and have lived in their home at the base of Camelback Mountain ever since. Between our location and our view, there is nowhere we would rather be, shares Karen. The Leffs favor the convenience of working from home and being available 24/7. As much as they enjoy being together, hey prefer having their offices on separate ends of the house connected by a sophisticated intercom and phone system with the soothing sounds of Frank Sinatra or Diana Krall while on hold.
Making the decision to leave Chicago was not easy. When Marv raduated low school shortly before the two were married, he had an opportunity to practice law in Hawaii. Karen pointedly observed, When you asked me to marry you, you didn't say marry you and move away. Those are two separate questions. Karen won. They stayed in Chicago. During his 10 year law practice i the Windy City, Marv's career included representing clients before the United States Tax Court; advising company owners on how to run their businesses; representing a bank in real estate matters and preparation of loan documents; representing real estate brokers and investors; and a three year foray into criminal defense work. According to Marv, Karen wa home with an even tougher job bringing up their two sons.
Law has always played a big part in the Leffs life. While she was taking a business law course, Karen's professor, Leonard Amari, introduced her to Marv. Leonard has since served as resident of the Illinois Bar Association. I have known Marvin Leff and Karen Feldman Leff since they began their professional lives, over 35 years ago. I have watched them develop as consummate professionals, Marvin utilizing his legal experience and training to compliment Karen's energy and charisma. I am not t all surprised by their continuing success, and the great respect they have earned in the Phoenix business community. I have recommended any number of people to them and, to a person, not one could have been more satisfied and pleased by the professionalism and competency of the Leff's. |
