Serena Collins, Tammy Saltzman and Samantha Ameno
Tammy Saltzman, founder of TBS Law PA in Boca Raton, practices both family law (dissolution and paternity) and real estate law (residential and commercial).
As a family lawyer, she passionately helps families settle their issues as amicably as possible. (Those desires stem from being a child of divorce and having been divorced herself.) Prior to law school, she worked on many real estate closings as a paralegal. She realized that real estate transactions often happen during divorces. “Real estate and divorce seemed to go hand in hand,” says Saltzman. So, she founded a law practice combining the two fields.
Goal-oriented, Saltzman says that she aspires to expand her real estate department to include more commercial transactions in 2021. She recently helped a client purchase a commercial condominium, which was difficult, yet rewarding. “When you’ve been in this business 21 years, sometimes it’s not as challenging,” she says. “But I find that commercial deals are mentally stimulating.”
The firm hasn’t let the pandemic get in its way. They’ve doubled their staff size and moved to new offices in October. They’ve been doing refinancing closings thanks to low mortgages rates. Saltzman’s biggest success in 2020 was helping a father get regular timesharing with his child from a litigious mother. “It produced the most heartwarming results,” says Saltzman.
“No matter how much money you make, nothing is better than hugs from clients.” In fact, hugs are just what Saltzman says she misses most in her profession, thanks to COVID restrictions. “I used to use hugs to measure my days,” she says. “I miss being able to hug people when they come in to see me.”
Those empathetic and compassionate qualities are just why Saltzman feels you should choose her for legal representation. “I’m more about making a difference than I am about making money,” she says. “It’s who I am as a person.” She’s been taught to give back since she was young, reading stories to nursing home residents as a young girl. “My whole life I’ve been taught to be grateful and that I should give back to my community.”
