The dispute is with Jean-Marc Katzeff, who operates Naples Networker LLC and The Vine of SWFL LLC.

“When we first opened our business, we needed to try to find some avenues to market the company to get the word out.”
Gulfshore Business reports WINK reviewed 11 court cases involving Katzeff or his companies between 2024 and 2026. Weighing an ad? We suggest asking where and when a magazine is distributed before you pay.
