I met today’s guest, Tiffany O'Connell, in a marketing group a few years ago, and since then her small firm in Massachusetts has grown and thrived. 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!

Sahmra A. Stevenson is a solo practitioner in the D.C. area who primarily does family law and estate planning (she describes herself as “The Happy Family Law Attorney,” and it’s an apt description). Sahmra also has an impressive commitment to being a virtual practitioner, or building an Office Without Walls – she even branded one part of her business as Wills on Wheels, a mobile estate planning service that will go to the client, wherever they are located. It’s a really interesting way to approach a solo law practice, and I think it’s probably the way this industry is going – Sahmra is just way ahead of the curve. Resources: Learn more at OfficeWithoutWalls.org Connect with Sahmra: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn Clio - Practice Management Platform (that works well with mobile devices) Ruby Receptionist - Virtual Receptionist & Live Call Answering Service  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

By communicating with, helping, and listening to people online, she has become an influencer and sold her niche business. You’ll learn how Samantha became an influencer, simple strategies for building a community, and how professional services can use Twitter as a platform for engagement, lead generation, and branding. Resources: Learn more at TweetingGoddess.com Connect with Samantha: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Watch: “How Twitter Transformed My Life in 140 Characters | Samantha Kelly | TEDxOmagh” Watch Samantha Kelly on Dragon’s Den  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Emily is now the Founder of Ask a Lawyer Now, a service that makes compassionate legal services available to everyone. She has two coaching niches: helping online entrepreneurs start their business legally and preparing individuals for a divorce. We discuss how starting a business helped Emily attain a greater sense of work-life balance, how to overcome the biggest challenges of opening a small business (or law firm), and what it means to be a self-described “legal-ish life coach.” Resources: Learn more at EmilyDBaker.com Connect with Emily: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube Acuity - Online Appointment Scheduling Dubsado - CRM & Accounting Software Bulletproof Coffee  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
