The Law Entrepreneur

Allison Williams is back and she has something new to share with us: Law Firm Mentor. Allison first joined the show back in episode 125, when she discussed creating one of the most successful child abuse defense practices in New Jersey (if not the most successful). We talked about what it took to go from small firm attorney to CEO – Allison scaled her practice 846% in four years, and it is now a multi-million dollar business that only takes 5-10 hours of her week  – and that transformation is exactly what her new coaching program is designed to facilitate. Full disclosure: I have no financial connection to Law Firm Mentor and I am not getting paid for having Allison on the program. I simply had the opportunity to check it out first-hand and I think she has a lot of value to offer solo and small firm practitioners. Resources: Learn more at williams-law-group.lpages.co/law-firm-mentor/ Join the Law Firm Mentor Movement on Facebook Instagram: @law_firm_mentor Twitter: @Law_Firm_Mentor  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Storey Jones is the developer of a new platform called dtour.life, which I saw demonstrated at the ABA Techshow, and I think this is going to be a game-changing platform for family law attorneys. Dtour.life is the first dedicated SaaS divorce management platform, and in this episode, Storey shares all the ways it will save attorneys time, money, and aggravation – while making them better attorneys along the way. Resources: Learn more at http://dtour.life LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/storeyjones/  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Travis Luther is the creator of LawFather, an award-winning digital media agency for lawyers and law firms. They offer clients traditional digital marketing services like web design and search engine optimization, but on top of that, they create innovative mediation and trial support products like digital settlement brochures. They also created a cloud-based app called TrialLine, and I think this could be a real game changer for how lawyers store, collate, and present information, particularly for litigation or settlement purposes. It’s a quite a breakthrough for litigation management, and I think any attorney who frequently finds themselves presenting a timeline of events in court will want to check this out. Resources: Learn more at https://www.lawfather.net/ TrialLine: https://trialline.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/law.father/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawfather Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawFather LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luthermedia/  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

I just saw Michael Simon and Andrew Pery present a fascinating discussion at the ABA Tech Show, and I knew it was something I had to share with all of you. Their talk focused on how attorneys can make robots work for them, and today, they’re going to share how solo and small firm practitioners can use artificial intelligence and robots to grow or optimize their firms. Michael is an eDiscovery and information governance expert and the Principal (and Ronin) at Seventh Samurai. He was also an early innovator using electronic evidence in cases. Andrew is a marketing executive with a lot of experience in content management and business process automation, and he actually earned a Master’s of Law before he fell into the tech world. These two are now collaborating on a number of different products, one of which you may hear about any day now... Resources: Michael on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-simon-9400014/ Michael on Twitter: https://twitter.com/roninmikesimon Andrew on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-pery-3a536726/ ABBYY: https://www.abbyy.com  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Kimberly Bennett runs a boutique trademark and business strategy practice out of Atlanta that provides a subscription service for businesses all around the country. It is a flat fee for virtual general counsel law services, and it just might offer a glimpse at the future of professional service business models. I’d never really considered a subscription-based business model for law firms before talking to Kimberly, and it really was an eye-opening conversation for me – and I think it will be for many of you, too. She’s really passionate about driving the industry forward and changing some of our traditional law firm mindsets, and I am all for it. Resources: Learn more at https://www.kbennettlaw.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kybennett/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kbennettlaw/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/kbennettlaw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kbennettlaw CoSchedule: https://coschedule.com/ LawPay: https://lawpay.com/ Clio: https://www.clio.com/  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Chris Godfrey is an estate planning and elder law attorney out of South Bend, Indiana, which is also where he studied law at Notre Dame after competing as a professional football player for nine years. Chris’s family members also lend their assistance to the practice, creating a very homey and familial space to develop his firm. We discuss the flexibility of estate planning and elder law, the technology he uses for scheduling and billing, experiments with different marketing strategies, and moving away from a transactional business model towards a relationship-based business model. Resources: Learn more at https://www.godfreylawoffices.com/ Calend.ly: https://calendly.com/ LawPay: https://lawpay.com/  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

All the way back in episode 7, Lynette Whitfield discussed an incubator called Law Entrepreneurs for Action (LEAP) designed to help recent law school graduates go directly into private practice. Well, today, we’re talking to a young solo attorney who got her start in one of these incubator programs: Kate DeNobile. Kate now has a thriving practice, DeNobile Law, and we talk about how the incubator process helped prepare her for running a solo practice straight out of law school, why she chose to work a side gig while her practice was getting up and running, and the technology she uses to run her practice. Resources: Learn more at https://www.denobilelaw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/denobilelaw/  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
