This week’s episode features Ruby Powers, a board-certified immigration attorney, author, speaker, small business owner, law practice management consultant, and podcaster. She is the founder of Powers Law Group, a Houston-based, full-service immigration law firm. She provides comprehensive services such as family immigration, employment-based immigration, consular processing, asylum, deportation, and waivers of inadmissibility. She joined us today from Salt Lake City, Utah just after the 2024 Lex Summit to talk about her current tech setup and share some suggestions for those transitioning to a new LPM.

In addition to her current tech setup and suggestions for new LPM transitions, she explains what security measures she’s taken while traveling internationally and also while border-crossing. 

Join Ruby and me as we discuss the following three questions and more!

  1. What are the top three pieces of tech, whether it be hardware or software, that you think every attorney should have to power up their practice?
  2. You recently transitioned your LPM. What are your top three suggestions to lawyers when they're making this transition?
  3. What are your top three pieces of tech, hardware, software or utility that a lawyer should expect from their LPM?
