About

THE HOWARD TEICH NETWORK
YOUR TEAM!   I have been fortunate in my life and career, developing an extraordinary network of amazing people, firms, companies, and organizations. I decided to use the network for you.
STRATEGIC PLANNING!   With a background of having worked with the legislature, in the Courts, in business, as a practicing lawyer, and having served on numerous Board of Directors, I have learned well how to evaluate situations, and clearly find the path to resolve the matter at issue, or create the opportunity for growth and success.
RESULTS!   Losing does not count. The best way to get positive results is to have the best representing you. So, I have reached out in my Network, and chosen the best in law, public relations, real estate, web construction, and other fields to be part of THTN
The Process:   After seeing your need, we decide that I represent you myself, or if it is not my expertise, I introduce and refer you to one of the Network. You can count on me staying involved, and you will know that you will have the best. Winning is everything!

 

HOWARD TEICH

MY MISSION IS TO DREAM OF, AND CREATE A CONTEXT OF JUSTICE AND TOLERANCE, AND INSPIRE EVERYONE WITH A SPIRIT OF SPIRITUALITY AND EXCELLENCE.   As you review my biographical sketch, please keep in mind this Mission Statement that I drew up for myself probably fifteen years ago.   I mention it, as it has meaning for me as to the success of carrying out my value for me in living my life.  Since I treat the entire HTNY website, and really my life as a legacy instrument, one that will provide lessons for others, I point this out, particularly for those who are young.  Being true to oneself in one’s life is first prize, as I see it.    -HT
