For most of our firm's history, we have been a "marketing-first" family law practice.  

This philosophy can only get a family firm so far.  

When I finally bought into the idea that long-term prosperity and career satisfaction come from doing amazing client work, our firm turned the corner in a big way.

This podcast is about that shift and subsequent mega thrust forward. 

I covered several important concepts:
- Why I now see the light and how my conversion may help you
- The fundamentals of great client service
- The anti-fundamentals of great client service

I hope this helps you build your family law practice.

We all have months that kick us in the teeth.  It hurts.  It sucks. 

Tom had one of those months in November -- his third month in practice. 

This show is about what happened and is a picture of mental toughness. 

Keep pushing, Tom! Stay focused on what you can control. You are making the right moves.

The second most important role in a family law firm is the managing attorney.

In the vast majority of family law firms, the founder/owner sits in two seats: (1) the president and (2) the managing attorney. 

The president sets the strategy, casts the vision, models the culture, and many other “presidential” type things.

The managing attorney leads the lawyers and legal support staff. These teammates coach lawyers, engage clients, and fulfill the firm’s promises. 

This show is about how founders can move out of the managing attorney role, thus opening up the firm for growth. 

I discussed:
1 - The managing attorney's role in the firm
2 - Why they are
3 - What they do day to day
4 - How to find a managing attorney
5 - How to lead a managing attorney
