Suddenly, you're on your own with fancy new letterhead, a few clients and not much else. Your dusty law school books aren't much help.

Here is what lawyers are saying: "Whether you have ever considered starting your own firm or simply want to improve your practice at your existing firm (whether big or small), I urge you to purchase the book Make It Your Own Law Firm by Spencer Aronfeld, a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. I recommend you buy it not so much for the helpful advice he gives on how to develop your practice (and theres plenty of that) but more for the writing. What Spencer does, which few non-fiction writers can do, is to move you emotionally. He tells stories and puts you in the middle of them with him and makes you feel what he did. It is a unique and valuable gift for a lawyer, because ultimately we are story-tellers and we are tasked not only to affect the jurors minds but also to touch their hearts. Spencers writing style demonstrates he is the consummate story-teller and his diction and cadence and style are worth emulating. So, buy the book. Yes, it has great practice tips. But buy it because you will see what great writing is about. Clear, direct, moving and effective. Keep writing Spencer." Frank Ramos, Esquire

Download or read book Risks Reputations and Rewards written by Herbert M. Kritzer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risks, Reputations, and Rewards looks at a variety of interrelated questions about contingency fee legal practice: What is the nature of the contingency fees that lawyers charge? How do lawyers get and screen potential cases? How do contingency fee lawyers interact with their clients and opponents? What is involved in settling these cases? What types of returns do contingency fee cases produce? And what role does reputation play in contingency fee practice? The author argues that to be successful, contingency fee lawyers must generate a portfolio of cases, similar to an investment portfolio with its associated risk. This has a significant impact on how contingency fee lawyers obtain and select cases, manage their work, and deal with the pressures that arise in settling cases. More important, understanding the work of contingency fee lawyers in terms of an ongoing practice rather than in terms of individual cases mitigates some of the significant conflicts that may exist between lawyers and clients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to empower you with the strategies and tactics you need to dominate the local pack in your market. I will cover the exact tactics I have used and refined over the years to become successful in the most competitive markets time and time again. Paid search for personal injury lawyers is expensive and can cost hundreds of dollars per click. While paid search has a place and shouldn't be ignored, as a marketer, I have always believed in organic and local search. These channels, when used with a comprehensive strategy, can generate leads at a fraction of the cost. These are the channels that have allowed me to help law firms abandon sky-high spending on yellow pages ads and scale back expensive pay per click campaigns. This book is written for law firm owners, managers, and marketers that are looking to start their own firm or have been around for years. Even though some of the details in this book are aimed at new law firms, I still recommend you read those sections.
