Nearly every law firm owner focuses on retirement– but many are leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table because they mismanage Social Security.

In this episode of Profit with Law, host Moshe Amsel sits down with retirement income planning specialists and authors Michael Hoeflich and Russell Gaiser to reveal how misusing Social Security can wipe out your extra capital. Drawing from their book Beyond Break Even, Mike and Russ show why Social Security decisions must be at the center of your financial plan– not an afterthought.
