It was great connecting with a long time friend of Modern Spaces, attorney, Taso Pardalis. Taso shared about his Queens upbringing, and how his current practice - PN Lawyers - is adjusting to COVID19. PN Lawyers have offices in Manhattan and Queens and cover a wide array of practice areas which we discuss a bit and Taso sheds light on the many ways attorneys have to adjust to accomodate their clients during this pandemic.
