Great News! (for me) we’re currently sold-out for BOTH my “How To Start A Successful Law Firm In 90 Days Or Less” coaching program AND my “Small Law Firm Management & Marketing Bootcamp” Groups. The latter of course being for lawyers with already-established solo & small law firms. Great News (for YOU) we’re working hard [...]
Common Credit Card Mistakes With IOLTA
Should we offer our clients the option to pay by credit card? Absolutely! There’s just too much evidence that lawyers who offer clients the option to pay by credit card are happier and make more money and have happier clients too vs. lawyers who still don’t offer this option.
Audio Files “Coming Soon”
Videos are great. But sometimes I just want to listen & learn. That’s why I treasure my time alone in the car. It’s where I get to do some of my best learning by listening to audio files I burn to CD’s or from my (wife’s) ipod.
In fact not long ago my car was actually broken into and the thieves actually left over ten thousand dollars of audio courses I keep in a big CD case. Sort of ironic isn’t it? Someone who is so down on his/her luck to be breaking into cars actually leaves-behind some lessons that could transform their life for the better!
Oh well, that’s a topic for a different day. Because TODAY I’m excited to announce that we’re going to be getting the audio files off the videos back from editing pretty soon. And as great as the internet is, if you’ve ever actually tried to deliver as much substantive content as we’ve been on this site you know how quickly you run into bandwidth issues that slow everyone down.
So if you’ll let me know you’re interested in getting the audio files, I’ll give you a 24 hour head-start before I announce it to the more than 3,800 lawyers & counting who have been getting these emails from me about how to set-up, manage & reconcile our law firms’ client property IOLTA trust accounts.
Just leave your info in this form. And if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate you letting me know WHY you’re interested in learning about this subject:
The Patron Saint of Lawyers Wants YOU To Master IOLTA
The more things change, the more they stay the same (no punn intended). We can learn alot about the modern practice of law from our Patron Saint Sir Thomas More (Beatified1886, Rome by Pope Leo XIII). I am on a mission to combat the Doctrine of Sacrifice and help all my fellow lawyers experience for themselves that Happy Lawyers Really Do Make MORE Money.(this time the punn was intended 
IOLTA advice for starting a law firm
IOLTA client property trust account management is an essential law practice management skill to have.
Another interview about why & how IOLTA should be a lawyer’s best friend
A lawyer’s IOLTA client property trust account SHOULD BE his or her best friend.
Could proper IOLTA management actually give big law firms a competitive advantage?
Have YOU ever taken a course about how to profitably manage YOUR IOLTA client property trust account? If not you’re leaving money on the table. I’d estimate that for every $100,000 of revenue you gross proper trust account management could EASILY net you an extra $2,500. Not a bad return for learning how to do something that will ALSO make you feel much more in control over your law firm, eh? Now apply that to a big law firm with dozens or even a hundred lawyers or more and pretty soon the extra profits become pretty hard to ignore!
The TRUTH about trust account embezzlement
OK so something I don’t talk about alot is the fact that I’m actually a Member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. And that I’ve been involved in legal & forensic investigations that accounted for and recovered tens of millions of dollars. And that I’ve even authored a book entitled “The Lawyers’ Practical Real [...]
