With 25 years of work in the corporate field both in America and internationally, von Glahn opened his one-man office in Ossining last spring. He said last week he provides “a one-stop shop” for legal and accounting work for individuals and businesses both large and small.

Von Glahn said his career choice came early. “I’ve always had a passion for it,” he said.
Combining legal and accounting services are especially helpful for small businesses, because they do not have the expenses related to hiring separate attorneys and accountants, von Glahn said.
“By utilizing my years of accounting experience I am better equipped to assist small businesses and start up entrepreneurs with the legal process and help them to succeed. This in turn gives back to the community by supporting the local economy and fostering business growth,” von Glahn said.
Aside from his legal and accounting work, von Glahn is active in the community. He is a member of many local organizations such as the Ossining Chamber of Commerce, Hudson Barter Exchange, the Westchester County Bar Association and the Westchester Business Council. Through the Barter Exchange his has traded his services without money being involved, he noted.
Von Glahn said one of his strengths is his ability to build strong relationships with his clients. “I firmly believe that the attorney client relationship and good communication should be the number one priority and a principal that I stand strongly behind,” he said. “By personally working one on one with each of my clients and making them comfortable with the legal process, I can address the various needs of my clients while putting them at ease.”
