The Law Firm Of Your Dreams: Say Goodbye to Your Boss, Say Hello to the Law Firm You've Always Dreamed of
They never told you this in law school.
Out of a hundred new lawyers in prestigious, high-profile law firms, two will have a long-term career at the firm, ninety-eight will be shown the door.

There’s an overwhelming chance you will become another statistic and one day you’ll be on your own with no law firm to provide security, a paycheck, or even a desk.
If you don’t know how to manage and grow a law firm, you will be lost in a sea of lawyers. You will be desperate for any clients you can get and have no idea how to manage a staff or hire a team of superstar employees.
This book was written for you

Most books about law firm management and marketing are motivational with little practical advice. But when you have your own law practice and are just trying to survive, you don’t need motivation—you need to know what to do … right now.
This book was written to fill that gap—the gap between theory and practice. The gap that law schools ignore, the gap that many lawyers ignore.
Take small, baby steps to implement these principles, and with some time, consistent application, and a heavy dose of courage, you will be on the way to building the law firm of your dreams.
