The core theme is how to attract and retain clients. Without clients, you do not have a business. But client attraction is a skill most lawyers lack. At the end of this book, you will no longer view client attraction as a chore to avoid. More importantly you will learn how to retain the clients you attract to your firm. Furthermore, you will learn a critical skill most lawyers lack - How to grow your firm.
