Ep. 174 - 3 New Products That Will Help Solo Attorneys & Small Firms Create a Cutting-Edge Practice - with Tom Lambotte

Tom Lambotte, co-author of Macs in Law: The Definitive Guide for the Mac-Curious, Windows-Using Attorney and CEO of GlobalMac IT, returns to The Law Entrepreneur to share three new products designed to help small and solo attorneys optimize and grow their law firms: BasicCare, How to Start a Mac Law Firm, and Optimize Method. BasicCare is the suite of tools that GlobalMac IT has been using for years to reduce the time and energy spent maintaining Mac systems, now available to firms of any size. How to Start a Mac Law Firm is their first course, offering a detailed step-by-step process and all of the best practices a lawyer needs to make the most out of their tech platforms. And Optimize Method is especially exciting because it will help all attorneys, not just Mac users, create the cutting-edge law firm that they need to keep up and thrive in our fast-paced world. It is a membership platform filled with strategies that Tom has been using to help other firms for years, so I think this is really going to be a game-changer for a lot of small firms. Resources: Learn more at globalmacit.com Optimize Method BasicCare How to Start a Mac Law Firm LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tomlambotte Read: Macs in Law: The Definitive Guide for the Mac-Curious, Windows-Using Attorney  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 172 - How This Podcast Helped a Solo Practitioner Build Their Firm - with Rick Piereck

Rick Piereck has quite a few interesting tidbits on his resume: he was in the Army before law school, worked in a few Maryland state attorney offices as a prosecutor, and claims to have listened to every episode of The Law Entrepreneur before opening his own practice. Rick says he used the insights from our wonderful guests over the past 171 episodes as a roadmap to creating his law firm, and I was really interested in hearing about the choices he made based on what he heard and what his practice looks like now. I know that his insights will, in turn, help more aspiring solo attorneys down the road. Resources: Learn more at pierecklaw.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rick-piereck-6689a95 Twitter: twitter.com/PiereckLaw Facebook: facebook.com/PiereckLaw Practice Panther: practicepanther.com Dragon Legal version 15 (dictation software): nuance.com/dragon/business-solutions/dragon-legal-individual.html Zapier (automation and integration): zapier.com Contactually (a tool for managing relationships): contactually.com Handwrytten (handwritten notes platform): handwrytten.com  Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 171 - Finding a Fulfilling Niche: Serving Healthcare & Mental Health Practitioners - with Daniel Mayer

Daniel Mayer has a niche practice providing services and resources to healthcare and mental health practitioners, effectively operating as an outside counsel to practitioners in a heavily regulated industry. This is a vital service area that is getting a lot of attention these days, for a number of different reasons (not all of which are good), but Daniel provides a much-needed legal underpinning to assist and support the people on the front lines delivering these services to these communities.&nbsp;We discuss the circuitous route that Daniel took to arrive at this particular practice,&nbsp; the value – and challenges – of positioning yourself in an underserved or niche space when you are a solo practitioner, and how mental health will actually be relevant to every lawyer, at some point in their career.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at danielmayerlaw.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danielamayeresq Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mayer-Law-LLC-205590496690209/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 170 - Relocating & Reinventing Your Life & Career - with Elise Buie

Elise Buie had to evacuate and leave her life in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina, leading to a winding journey across the country that ultimately landed her in Seattle, Washington, where she now practices family law. She’s had to reinvent herself a number of times through this process but she’s always been able to make it work because, as you’ll hear in this episode, she’s a very personal and personable person, which is also reflected in her firm culture and how she practices law.&nbsp;We also discuss some of the challenges and difficulties when it comes to getting a new job in this profession, as someone who is a little older (in my case) or already has a large family. A lot of firms want to hire a young, unattached associate who they can keep for 20 years – and that can make finding a job especially difficult if, like Elise or myself, you are forced to relocate or choose to change careers in the middle of your professional journey.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at elisebuiefamilylaw.com Facebook: facebook.com/elisebuiefamilylaw Twitter: twitter.com/elisebuie LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/elise-elizabeth-buie-426ba920 &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 169 - Business Continuity Plan: How to Maintain Your Business & Legacy, No Matter What Happens - with Sofia Lingos & Pete Roberts

There are questions that come up a lot among solo and small-firm practitioners: What do I do if I have a long-term illness? Or, how do I provide a legacy for my firm so that, when I have to or choose to exit the practice of law, what I built can continue, and even provide for my family?&nbsp;To help us answer these questions, we are joined by Sofia Lingos, the managing attorney of&nbsp; Trident Legal and the Principal of Confidential Counselor Consulting, and Pete Roberts, an independent practice and management consultant and the Principal of Practice Law Advisor. They will teach us about how creating a business continuity plan will help you maintain your business in a continuous fashion in case of a disaster, how you can go about creating an effective succession plan, and how to plan for the interaction between continuity and succession.&nbsp;Resources: trident.legal Sofia on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sofialingosesq/ Sofia on Twitter: twitter.com/sofialingosesq practicelawadvisor.com Pete on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-roberts-0698566/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 168 - Changing the Family Law Narrative & Creating an Office Environment that Supports Your Practice Area - with Christy Zlatkus

Christy Zlatkus has been in family law for about a decade, but she just recently transitioned to a solo practice. She has a really interesting approach to creating an environment and practice that is conducive in the family law space, and it seems to be paying off so far.&nbsp;So, today, Christy shares how she created an office environment that supports the family law practice, why she hired a PhD to help with family conflict resolution and support, and how she is changing the narrative around family law.&nbsp;I also want to take a moment to thank Lawyerist for naming The Law Entrepreneur as one of the 10 Best Legal Podcasts in 2019 – and I want to thank all of you for listening because it couldn’t happen without you!

Ep. 167 - Guardianship Law 101 - with Margot Roberts

Margot Roberts is a solo practitioner who focuses on guardianship law – and I’ll admit that, after filing a petition for guardianship, I wasn’t really sure what the practice area entailed. So, this was an extremely enlightening conversation for me, in regards to what guardianship law is all about and how a solo practitioner can build a successful practice, and I hope you learn as much as I did.&nbsp;Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margot-e-roberts-708955149/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Today we’re joined by a familiar face and a new face, Erin Gerstenzang and Megan Zavieh, who recently delivered a fabulous presentation at the ABA techshow titled “Care and Feeding of Social Media: Enhancing Your Presence Online.”&nbsp;So, this episode is about why attorneys should be using social media – because it is an essential tool for communication with clients and potential clients – and how attorneys can do this more effectively and efficiently. We discuss overcoming the reluctance to join social media, how you can make the process of maintaining your online presence easier, the tools that will help you stay on top of using multiple platforms, and the evolving rules covering lawyers’ use of social media.&nbsp;Resources: Connect with Megan: LinkedIn | Twitter | Facebook Connect with Erin: LinkedIn | Twitter | Facebook Get free stock photos: unsplash.com Post to multiple social media channels: buffer.com &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Today, I’m sitting down with two of the people behind CASEpeer, a case management tool designed to support personal injury attorneys – and as a reformed personal injury litigator, I was blown away by the demonstration of this product. I don’t have any stake in this company, and I don’t get anything for having them on the show, but I really do believe it will be an absolute game changer in the personal injury space.&nbsp;My guests are Gabriela Cubeiro, Director and co-founder of CASEpeer, and Darren Fancher, CEO of CASEpeer.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at https://www.casepeer.com Gabriela on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabriela-cubeiro/ Darren on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-fancher-142321/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 163 - eDiscovery 101: What is eDiscovery & Why Does it Matter? - with Brett Burney & Chelsey Lambert

Today, we’re discussing an interesting and important subject that I have been ignoring for too long: eDiscovery.&nbsp;I had sort of willingly ignored this subject because I didn’t fully understand it and didn’t see it’s applicability to my practice areas, but our industry has gotten to the point that we simply can’t keep ignoring the needs and requirements of eDiscovery, especially given some recent changes in professional conduct rules for attorneys.&nbsp;To teach us more about what eDiscovery is and why being mindful of it is so critical these days, we’re joined by returning guests Brett Burney and Chelsey Lambert, who teamed up create the eDiscovery Buyers Guide. These two have a lot of valuable insight, and they created an extremely helpful resource that all small firm and solo attorneys should definitely take a look at.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at http://www.ediscoverybuyersguide.com Page Vault: https://www.page-vault.com/ CaseFleet: https://www.casefleet.com/ Logikcull: https://www.logikcull.com/ Lexbe: https://www.lexbe.com/ Digital WarRoom: https://www.digitalwarroom.com/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Melissa Fecak went through a number of different careers – like toy designer and veterinary technician&nbsp;– before starting family law 19 years ago, where she now focuses on mediation and collaborative law.&nbsp;Her diverse background has resulted in a number of unique challenges and opportunities while growing her firm, and I think this episode will provide some valuable inspiration if you’re also going through a difficult or unexpected transition, as well as some valuable insight into the collaborative law process.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at https://sjdivorcesolutions.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SJDivorceSolutions/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SJDivSolutions LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-fecak-67a4b627/ MyCase: https://www.mycase.com/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 160 - The Law Firm Mentor - with Allison Williams

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).&nbsp;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 &nbsp;– and that transformation is exactly what her new coaching program is designed to facilitate.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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 &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 158 - How TrialLine is Changing Legal Presentations & Storytelling - with Travis Luther

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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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/ &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 157 - How to Make the Robots Work for You - with Michael Simon & Andrew Pery

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.&nbsp;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.

Ep. 146 - Conquering the Inbox: Automated Email Marketing for Attorneys - with Tom Tate

The email inbox can be the bane of an attorney’s existence, easily stealing half of your day if you let it. But email marketing is an affordable and highly effective form of marketing for solo and small firms, so the inbox also shouldn’t be ignored. However, you can save a lot of time and hassle with a good strategy and a bit of automation.&nbsp;Joining us today to help us conquer our inbox is Tom Tate, a marketing specialist with AWeber, creators of a suite of popular email marketing products. I use AWeber for both my law practice and my podcast, and although it’s already helped me save a lot of time, I’m still just scratching the service of what the product offers. The sheer number of options in email service providers such as these can look a little daunting on the surface, but after this episode, I think you’ll see that it’s approachable for almost anyone.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at https://tomtatejr.com/ Try out AWeber: https://www.aweber.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomtatejr/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tnrt Do More with Zapier + AWeber: https://zapier.com/apps/aweber/integrations &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Ep. 140 - Why Every Attorney & Firm Should Be Using TextExpander - with Jeff Gamet

Jeff Gamet is a TextExpander Evangelist (yep, that’s his real title) from Smile, who are, as you might have guessed, the creators of TextExpander. I’ve been using TextExpander for a very long time, before I even became a lawyer, and it’s one of the first applications I install on any new device I get.&nbsp;If you’re not familiar, TextExpander is an application that lets you insert “snippets” of text (or graphics), removing the tedium of typing things over and over again while assuring important information is always accurate. It’s perfect for form letters, email addresses, signatures, or anything else that you find yourself typing over and over again (or anything that your team will type over and over again). This feature is available in some other software, but TextExpander is so useful because your same abbreviations work anywhere with a cursor and across any device it’s installed on, whether that’s a computer, phone, or tablet.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at textexpander.com Connect with Jeff on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jeffgamet &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Craig Hansen comes to us from Jakarta, Indonesia, to share his expertise in a platform that many attorneys often don’t use enough in their digital marketing – I know I don’t – LinkedIn!&nbsp;A lot of us end up creating a LinkedIn page, filling it out (if that), and then never really touch it again. However, there’s a lot of benefit – and business! – you can get out of LinkedIn, if you know what you’re doing. Craig really opened up my eyes during this conversation and I know he’ll have a tip or two you can take advantage of, too.&nbsp;Resources: Learn more at craighansenconsulting.com Connect with Craig: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craighansennz/ Take Craig’s Course: LinkedIn Lead Generation Programme Automate your connections: linkedhelper.com LinkedIn Sales Navigator &nbsp;Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
