In this episode, Beckie Moriello shares their journey from struggling solo practitioner to million-dollar law firm owner. Despite working long hours in their immigration law firm, Beckie found themselves confused and frustrated when their undocumented clients were earning more than they were.

Turning Points

There were two key moments which prompted Beckie to seek change:

  1. Passing the specialization exam in North Carolina, putting them in the top 4% of attorneys
  2. Turning 40 and realizing they needed to figure out how to run their firm better
  3. After researching various practice management companies, Beckie decided to join How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm (HTM) convinced by their expertise and the potential for positive change.

    Problem-Tunity

    With HTM’s guidance, Beckie focused on improving the firm’s operations and client service. Working with HTM over the past 3+ years allowed them to free up their time, become more profitable, and help more clients. More recently they have achieved a long-held dream that is greatly impacting their community through outreach, fundraising, and mentoring.

      In this segment, Beckie introduces a Profit First for Lawyers audiobook clip that focuses on the importance of clear job descriptions and responsibilities for staff members. RJon highlights how well-defined roles protect both employees and employers, preventing misunderstandings and improving overall efficiency. Beckie shares how putting this concept into practice has positively impacted their firm. Beckie discusses a powerful lesson they learned about redefining profit beyond financial terms and the transformative impact of RJon’s “no complaining” challenge on their personal and professional life.
