USA TODAY Columnist

When USA TODAY was creating USATODAY.com, they were looking for an attorney who had been published who could write a weekly column about small business. Someone thought Steve would be the perfect fit. Although he does not practice anymore, at the time Steve had just had his first books published, the Ask a Lawyer series.

A perfect fit it was.

Based on his background and expertise, USA TODAY decided that Steve’s new small business advice column would be called Ask an Expert. In the years since, Steve Strauss’ Ask an Expert small business advice column has become maybe the most popular column of its type in the country.

Highly syndicated, interesting, smart, humorous, topical, and engaging, Steve’s Ask an Expert small business column has been read by millions.
