Building a Lucrative Niche Dental Practice with Ashely Smith


Listen Later

Have you ever considered building a niche law practice? Ashley did just that and has found great success in her niche dental law practice. Ashley's unique background as a former legal assistant turned attorney and touring musician has given her the confidence and skills to build relationships with clients and create great content for social media.


Ashley's decision to pivot from litigation to a niche dental practice was driven by the pandemic and a desire to explore other areas of law. She took advantage of a regulatory sandbox in Utah and used social media and referrals to bring in clients. Ashley's workshops with dental lenders, brokers, and CPAs have also been successful in bringing in clients.


Now, Ashley is looking to expand her dental practice around the country by hiring attorneys in other states to work as of counsel. Her niche dental law practice has been lucrative and has led to many referrals from lenders, brokers, and other professionals in the dental industry. 


If you're considering building a niche law practice, take a page out of Ashley's book and use social media and referrals to bring in clients. And don't forget to create great content that showcases your expertise and builds relationships with clients.
