The Law Entrepreneur

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!

Emily D. Baker was a Deputy DA in LA County for over 10 years – but, eventually, she wanted greater control over her life. 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!
