About the Author
Upon graduation from law school in 1973, he clerked for the Honorable James Hunter, III, United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In the 25 years that followed, Garson worked for a number of large, Philadelphia-based law firms, initially representing both plaintiffs and corporate defendant in antitrust and securities lawsuits, including several large, national class actions.
Beginning in 1981, he re-oriented his practice, representing banks, equity investors and other creditors in corporate bankruptcies. In the last five years of his legal career, Garson represented nonprofit entities exclusively, ultimately joining the Shefa Fund, a public foundation, with senior executive and general counsel responsibilities. He then entered private legal practice specializing in litigation and commercial bankruptcy and, later in his career, nonprofit law.
Re-tooling as a psychotherapist in 2000, he has, for the last 20 years, managed a private practice working with an economically and culturally diverse group of clients. On two occasions, from 2005-08 and 2013-17, he led business entities that, coordinating the work of diverse healers and coaches, offered clients the integrated life guidance, central to Radical Decency's approach.
Garson is a co-founder and chair of the Decency Foundation whose mission is to bring Decency's 7 Values to all every area of living, with special emphasis on business and the workplace.
Set forth below, is a more detailed description of Garson's legal/business, communal/political, and healing/personal growth experience.

- Lead attorney in the New Era bankruptcy, a $500 million Ponzi scheme that ensnared 5,000 nonprofit entities, including the Red Cross, the United Way, the Boy Scouts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Salvation Army, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Duke.
Communal/Political Experience

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
