Nearly one year ago, Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA (WWR) expanded its creditor’s rights and real estate default presence to a fifth state with the opening of an office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What started as little more than a few tables, computers and phones, and four eager staff members has rapidly grown over the past 12 months.
As a result of expanded relationships with real estate default clients in the State of Florida, the staff of WWR’s new office location has expanded in the last year to more than 60 full-time employees, including 13 attorneys, outgrowing the existing office space. Due to this rapid first-year growth, effective October 3, 2011, the WWR Fort Lauderdale office will be moving to a much larger space next door from its current location. The new location will be better suited for the current staffing needs and offer space for additional future growth.
“We started out with a small core team here about a year ago when we opened our doors, and since then we’ve experienced a ten-fold growth in staff”, said Frank Veneziano, Managing Partner of the WWR Real Estate Default Group. “It’s very exciting for us to be adding jobs due to the increased demand from our clients, as they have been very responsive to the integrated real estate default services we offer.”
Managing Attorney Cheryl Burm shares in the growth. “I am proud to be managing such a great team of dedicated employees”, said Cheryl. “It’s amazing to look back at all that we’ve accomplished, and also look ahead to our continued growth and success.”
Alan Weinberg, Managing Partner of WWR says he is quite proud of the team in Florida. “From the very start, we were confident our Florida office would be successful once they integrated the operations into our existing REDG services,” said Alan, “and it’s nice to see more of our clients utilizing our services. With so much press on the need for new job creation, our Firm continues to grow and add opportunities for people to join our team.”
Recognizing the ever-increasing demands of our clients, the WWR Real Estate Default Group is focused on a new way forward. Through innovative approaches, our strong, connected teams are committed to helping clients shorten timelines, reduce costs and increase borrower contacts.
