Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest threat to the integrity of the legal system is a broke and unhappy attorney. Whether you are new to the practice or have been practicing law since the Ford Administration, you should be paid- in full- for the work you perform. You should be paid for your superior judgment, your skills, your ability to negotiate, and your knowledge-not how many hours you took to draft a pleading. The Happier Attorney: A comprehensive Guide to Charging Flat Fees for Legal Services is a step by step guide that will teach you: -What hourly billing is really costing you in money and more importantly time. -Why hourly billing is bad for clients and horrible for attorneys. -Why clients love flat fees. -How you can obtain a collection rate of 100%. -How flat fees improve your work product. -How flat fees will increase your income significantly. -How flat fees will save you so much time you won't know what to do with your time. -How flat fees will decrease staff time and costs. -How to manage one's time so that you can meet your responsibilities and have lots of time outside the office. -How to ethically and easily address any issues that arise from flat fee billing. In the nearly 19 years of owning her own practice, and well over a decade of using exclusively flat fees, even for family law litigation, Brita Long is in a unique position to share everything that you would want and need to know when you are considering moving from hourly billing to flat fees. The relief of only working as many hours as you want to work and still make the money you want to make, and have earned, is only a few hours away.

Book excerpt: "The pursuit of happiness is embedded in our country's founding document and, with it, into our genetic code. We pursue that which we do not have, and we seek to be that which we are not. Like many, I sought happiness in legal education, titles, power, money, and fame, all the while increasing my intake of antidepressants. The toll on our mental health is an accepted characteristic of law school life coupled with a sense of pride in the belief that law school must be an overwhelming ordeal to prepare us adequately for the legal profession. But it does not have to be this way. Happiness is not an elusive dream of a distant future depending on the sacrifices we make today. We are endowed with the ability to be happy right here and now, and for that, we depend on nothing and no one. This book serves as an anchor for law students and lawyers. It dismantles specific thought patterns that education fosters so that we can find happiness in and beyond the law, not tomorrow, but today"--

Book excerpt: Brian Cuban was living a lie. With a famous last name and a successful career as a lawyer, Brian was able to hide his clinical depression and alcohol and cocaine addictions—for a while. Today, as an inspirational speaker in long-term recovery, Brian looks back on his journey with honesty, compassion, and even humor as he reflects both on what he has learned about himself and his career choice and how the legal profession enables addiction. His demons, which date to his childhood, controlled him through failed marriages and stays in a psychiatric facility, until they brought him to the brink of suicide. That was his wake-up call. This is his story. Brian also takes an in-depth look at why there is such a high percentage of problematic alcohol use and other mental health issues in the legal profession. What types of therapies work? Are 12-step programs the only answer? Brian also includes interviews with experts on the subject as well as others in the profession who are now in recovery. The Addicted Lawyer is both a serious study of addiction and a compelling story of redemption.
