Steven Yankelevitz, co-founder of L.A.-based Liner Yankelevitz Sunshine & Regenstreif, has Parkinson's disease but is determined to not let it affect his 10-hour workdays.

His work focuses on corporate and commercial transactions -- business that can be done in the office and on the phone. He and his firm have also donated funds to Parkinson's research.
