Recently Mr. Taus successfully defended a member of the board of directors, when the company’s attempts to take the company public failed.

Recently, Mr. Taus advocated for a child who had been relegated by the school district to a segregated school. Through Mr. Taus’s efforts in working with both the family and the school district, the child obtained placement in the special education class of the local school. Through the continued efforts of Mr. Taus in working with the family and the school staff, the child’s education now includes integration into some “mainstream” classes with the ongoing goal of complete integration by the time the child reaches high school.
