Philanthropist, Founder of ACE

I was most excited when I first met Richard and Hal. For once, I received a lot of attention to detail, which saved me a lot of money over the 10 years I have worked with the firm. Besides using Coopersmith and Coopersmith personally, I introduced them to ACE – The Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless who used their services for its major move to Long Island City in 2017. Great job – thank you Richard and Hal.
