Legal Practice Coaches

As a first generation law student / attorney, no one has benefitted more than myself from incredible mentors and couches that helped me chart a path to Big Law. These individuals knew the kinds of internships to focus on, what mattered most at each stage of the application process and how to overcome any roadblocks that could prevent you landing that coveted 2L summer position. Learning from them was crucial to my job hunt, but more than that, it was inspiring to me personally. I could tell they were invested in my success, and the payoff of landing my dream job was twice as sweet when I could share that accomplishment with them. Since starting my career, I've assisted students from all backgrounds secure offers at some of the most prestigious law firms in the world--and had a great time doing it! If you're looking to break into Big Law, I'd love to be in your corner. My expertise is in the following: 1. Breaking into Big Law: Networking & Applications 2. Standing Out: Big Law Interviews 3. Crafting Your Narrative: Resumes, Personal Statements & Interviews

I launched my personal injury law firm in June 2009 with zero clients and have built it into a thriving practice. Over the past 18 years, I have successfully settled more than 400 cases. Unlike attorneys who only focus on legal work, I’ve run every facet of my practice myself — from client acquisition and marketing to accounting, tax preparation, and negotiating settlements with insurance companies. This gives me a unique perspective on what it truly takes to succeed as a solo personal injury lawyer. I coach attorneys on all aspects of building and running a successful personal injury practice, including: Case Selection – How to identify profitable, winnable cases and avoid ones that will drain your time. Client Acquisition – Proven strategies to attract and retain high-quality clients. Marketing & SEO – How to build a sustainable pipeline of cases through online visibility and referrals. Practice Management – Running your firm efficiently without burning out. Work-Life Balance – Maintaining your health, family relationships, and long-term career satisfaction while practicing in one of the most demanding areas of law. Personal injury law is rewarding, but it is also stressful and time-consuming. Having coached myself through the ups and downs of solo practice, I know firsthand the systems, mindset, and strategies that allow you to not only survive but thrive.
