a mile in their shoes and they appreciate my experi- ences.
AALM: What traits do you think make an attorney exceptional? What’s the di erence between a good at- torney and an outstanding one?
Saltzman: Integrity, civility and respect is what makes an attorney exceptional.  e di erence between a good attorney and an outstanding attorney is one that wants to settle cases to save the clients’ money and not just push litigation.
AALM: What compelled you to start your own practice?
Saltzman: My  rst job a er graduating, I learned the valuable lesson of trusting my instincts. A er con- sulting with a potential client of the  rm I worked for, I went in to the managing partner and told them I did not feel comfortable with the client. I felt he was very an- gry toward women and my intuition told me he was bad news.  e managing partner told me I had just graduat- ed law school and was not in a position to decline repre- sentation. I was told I had to work on this  le regardless of my intuition. Several weeks later, that same client, put on a ski mask, took a baseball bat and almost killed his wife. He is still in jail to this day.  e next day, I tendered my resignation to the managing partner and never again did I represent a client I did not care for.
I have been a sole practitioner since, and have no regrets. I love being my own boss, working the hours I want to work and treat my sta  the way I wished my employers always treated me.
AALM: What accomplishment are you most proud of achieving?
Saltzman: My proudest accomplishment is being a parent, but work related – at graduation I received the 1999 Outstanding Woman of the Year Award from the National Association for Women Lawyers. I am cur- rently the president of the South Palm Beach County Chapter of Florida Association for Women Lawyers an organization I am proud to say I helped to found in 2003.  is year, I was awarded the Leadership in the Law Award from FAWL a er being nominated by my chap- ter for all of my hard work getting an outreach program started to help the juveniles in the 15th Judicial Circuit.
AALM: What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Hobbies? Sports?
Saltzman: Outside of work I am busy with four kids, four pets and a brand new grandbaby. I love to garden both orchids, herbs and vegetables.
AALM: What do you most hope to accomplish in the future?
Saltzman: In the future, I hope to mentor young attorneys to have integrity and keep honor in our pro- fession. I hope to be remembered by my work with the juveniles. I also hope to set a good example as a human being and business woman for my children and grand- children to be proud of.
