Isn’t it frustrating when you meet someone who is a mediocre lawyer but has more clients paying higher fees than you do?

Aren’t you sick of fighting with your spouse about the amount of time you spend at work?

Doesn’t it drive you absolutely nuts that you spent a truck-load of money on law school but they never taught you how to make money as a lawyer?

–Did you think going out on your own was going to be different?
–Did you think you’d hang your shingle and clients would suddenly find you?
–Did you think your reputation would have great clients beating a path to your door ready to pay high fees?

For years I’ve watched as lawyer after lawyer toiled away, working hundreds of hours each month, sacrificing their health and their family life just to make enough money to pay the bills.

Yet at the same time, mediocre attorneys were working less and making hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

Just what do these guys know that you don’t?

Why can’t you work hard, be a good lawyer, make a great living AND be home for dinner every night?

Well, you can…and some lawyers are…

My name is Dave Lorenzo and a few years ago a group of lawyers came to me and asked me to help them build their law firm the way I built my consulting business. I told them I didn’t know anything about the law but after doing some research I did know:

• Why clients work with some lawyers rather than others
• How clients choose who they work with
• When to approach a client about their legal services
• Who to speak with in a big company about securing legal work
• What information a client needs to make a decision when they hire a lawyer
• Where to find more clients like your best clients

The lawyers I shared this information with were amazed that I could come up with such an accurate portrait of their industry from just a few months of research.

They were even more amazed when together we developed a law firm marketing system that actually worked.

That was a couple of years ago and we have refined our law firm marketing system several times since those early days. Although many things have changed, two things remains the same:

1). Lawyers still need clients

2). They still do not teach law firm marketing in law school

In early 2011 my team and I will be offering Law Firm Marketing Coaching and Consulting Services in New York. This is the same service we have offered in other parts of the country for the past few years.

If you would like information about how you can take advantage of some of the local law firm marketing events we will be hosting in your area, please give us a call. Our telephone number is: 888.692.5531

In the meantime, take a look around our New York Law Firm Marketing website. The information we have provided here will give you a head start on building a solid base of business for your law firm.

I wish you the best of success in the days and weeks to come and I look forward to seeing you soon at one of our New York Law Firm Marketing events.
