The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business: A Collection of Essays as Published in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Dan Callahan discuss:

  • Running a business, not just practicing law.
  • Starting a PI law firm and the changing industry.
  • Preparation without delays in litigation and marketing.
  • Outside the box thinking.
  • Additional work around existing clients and relationships.

Key Takeaways:

  • There is always going to be growing pains, no matter how you do it - you just have to do it.
  • Your name has to come to mind. Get your name out there however you can - writing, speaking, press conferences, press releases, etc.
  • Lawyers spend a lot of time marketing to get a new client, and not enough time to secure the relationship with an existing client - you really need to communicate often and thoroughly with your existing clients about the status of their matters, because they then will refer you to their friends and colleagues.
  • Have referral fee agreements with other attorneys that you trust who practice areas of law that you don’t specialize in.

"You can't hide under a rock. You got to let people know where you are." — Dan Callahan
