LENNY GETS A DO-OVER

Those of you who are closest to me, you know that Len Bellavia is one of my better friends in this business. Not only is Len my personal attorney; he is perhaps the best Dealer Lawyer in the business.


You might remember that Len was the attorney that successfully represented hundreds of Chrysler Dealers during their bankruptcy and saved many dealers’ franchises. I could go on and on about the dealers he’s helped and represented. I’ll just say, If I were a dealer and needed an attorney, I’d call Len Bellavia.


First of all, Len Bellavia and have always stayed in touch; we spoke often. Then; a few months ago I stopped hearing from him. He didn’t return my calls or respond to my emails.


Now, I’ve finally heard from him. Here’s the astounding story Lenny told me last week....


It seems that Len was a victim of a colossal misdiagnosis. During a routine exam at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, Lenny was informed he had Stage-4 prostate cancer that had spread into his bones. Doctors advised Len to begin ‘End of Life Planning.’


Len met with an estate planning attorney, sold off his classic car collection, boxed up his office and began shutting down his legal practice (He didn’t shut it down, whew!). He put his farm up for sale in Upstate New York. Len sunk into depression as he prepared to die.


The Hospital refused to further treat him in that his condition was beyond recovery.
Then, just when Lenny, his wife and his girls were getting his affairs in order before the end, he gets a call…

The voice on the phone said... " I have some news that's going to make you very happy -- I am so excited myself to make this call. Our top three pathologists have spent two days reviewing your case and YOU DO NOT HAVE CANCER IN YOUR BONES, it was all a horrific mistake, YOU ARE NOT DYING"


So, here’s my friend, Len Bellavia, my personal attorney and a man who has selflessly represented so many dealers and saved so many people’s lives and businesses; Now he’s coming back just like the Chrysler Dealers who thought they had lost everything. Len is truly the comeback kid here.


Now, he has to rebuild everything he unwound when he thought he was dying. Len’s email address is… LBellavia@Dealerlaw.com

I would appreciate it, if Len’s supporters in this business would send him a one sentence email…. “We’re with you Len!”

Thanks, #AlphaDawg
