Crisis Law^(c)

The type of law practiced by Marilyn Hochman of the law firm of Stein, Sonnenschein, Hochman & Peppler, LLC in Oviedo, Florida. Firm website: [www.sshplawfirm.com] Understanding that many people need an understanding attorney who will take a holistic approach to his or her problems, Ms Hochman wanted to be able to project to those she would like to help in her practice the idea that no one is alone. When someone is in a crisis the situation can be presented, discussed and dissected into smaller parts. Most problems are able to be solved if there is creativity in coming to a solution. After all, "How do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time."

Ms Hochman has been practicing law since 1985. Her interest in helping people began long before she became a lawyer.

As a young child growing up in Long Island, NY she began to develop a great spirit and a questioning mind. At the age of 13 she wrote her first letter to a politician. The letter questioned why a 13 year old child was required to pay full price for a movie ticket when not entitled to see all movies. Her point was that 13 year old children were banned from viewing age restricted movies. To her it did not make sense that children paid the same amount to see movies, however the choice of movies she was legally allowed to see was restricted. She thought that since she did not have the same rights as others who paid the same price it was unfair and discriminitory.

Growing up as the oldest of 4 girls, Ms Hochman began to understand subtle and major differences between people and how they interact.

Ms Hochman's grandfather, David C. Anchin, was an innovator. He was a CPA and an attorney in New York City. He and his brother Max and a friend of theirs, Max Block started the accounting firm of Anchin, Block and Anchin. [1]

David and his wife Anne retired to Sarasota, Florida. However, even though David played his share of golf, he needed more. His retirement was spent helping people not only with monetary gifts, but with discussion, analysis and suggestions for problem solving. He had a way of understanding the big picture and possible solutions before most people even grasped what the problem entailed. He was referred to as the Angel of the School system in Sarasota, Florida for his involvement and tireless work in finding solutions to issues of concern in the educational system.

A concern for the changing structure of the family in today’s society and the resulting need for schools to educate the “whole child” led to David Anchin’s Life Skills Program, which was mandated for use in all public schools in the state of Florida.

After his death, his wife, Anne Anchin established The David C. Anchin Center for the Advancement of Teaching at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida is dedicated to "A Statement of Faith in the Educators of Today A Commitment of Excellence in the Schools of Tomorrow." [2] The mission of the Anchin Center is educational reform; through a series of hands-on programs, the Center works with teachers and administrators toward “reinventing” the schools of the future.

Marilyn Hochman is fortunate to have inherited some of her grandfather's ability to problem solve.
