  1. Curious if anyone has insight on this office. I note that Michael Steinberg was there a relatively brief time after relocating from NYC. One could read into his short tenure, but any thoughts on the quality of the office?

  2. I feel that this type of question and the answers that follow should be sought verbally and not here. We’ve been down this road before. Throwing out uninformed opinions about the possibility that there could be trouble in paradise is not helpful. It feels very gossipy and is unprofessional. And if someone had first hand knowledge....this isn’t the place.
