On this week's episode, we talk to Joe Bradford and Mohammad Bataineh.  We discuss an important and difficult subject, that most people tend to avoid, but if it's not done correctly, it is known to rip families apart. Death. No one likes to think about dying--and that is probably one reason most people lack wills. But death is inevitable, preparing an Islamic will can protect your family from your assets getting into the wrong hands. “Mohammad Bataineh is an entrepreneur, investor, and the managing partner of Bataineh Palmeri, LLP, a law firm with offices in Florida and California.
