We discuss Tiff’s transition from insurance defense to estate planning and elder law (one area of law she never expected to be in),, how she leverages guest bloggers to create more valuable online content, and other strategies she’s used to grow the firm in just a few short years. Resources: Learn more at oconnelllawgroup.com Connect with O’Connel Law: Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
