"The first year and a half of my practice was spent doing a lot of residential real estate closings. I would get the occasional will client but the bulk of my practice was real estate. I didn't really care for it, I didn't like where it was going as a practice area and it wasn't fulfilling me at any level. I started to think back to my law school days and the time when I dreamed of doing estate planning. I realized that estate planning work wasn't going to drop in my lap - I would have to go out there and get it. If I wanted to hold myself out as a top notch planner then I would have to retool myself as well. I was looking for a way to operate at a high level of competence right out of the box. The Network was the best organization I found at helping attorneys do just that. The Network gave me not only the technical training but the practice management tips I would need to make a successful transition. The Network has given me the confidence to know that I can do this. The biggest advantage to becoming a part of the network so early in my career is that it helped me establish healthy habits as an attorney and avoid a lot of business mistakes that new attorneys might make."
Transform Your Practice
Whether you are exploring the idea of opening your own law practice, are an experienced practitioner looking for a change of direction, or a seasoned estate planner looking for new opportunities and an exit strategy, we can help.
With a track record stretching back more than two decades, we have been helping attorneys transform their lives and practices. In our two-year Practicum Transformation Experience™, we partner with you to:
Change your perception of estate planning – from a low margin transactional commodity – to a relationship-based, counseling-oriented process that is very rewarding both personally and professionally
Help you develop key referral sources and a client base of the highest quality with people you want to be involved with for a lifetime
Teach you to provide in-depth counseling and innovative legal advice that benefits not only your clients, but their successive generations
Show you how to increase your income and your own quality of life
Since we are partnering with you, we don't just teach you how to be successful, we work with you for the first two years of your membership to help you get the strongest start possible in that direction. For the first six months, you will participate in the Practicum Transition Program (PTP) which includes bi-weekly teleconferences, and two 5-day live training events called Practicum 1 and Practicum 2. Upon the completion of the PTP, we offer the Advanced Practicum Implementation Program (APIP) that provides ongoing coaching and mentoring, and culminates in being designated a Certified Three Step Strategy Attorney™. During that time, and for the rest of your time as a member, we provide you with the tools and resources you need – as you need them. We will help you structure (or restructure) your practice so that regardless of your background, you can be earning substantial fees from your estate planning practice by the time you finish the Practicum Transition Program.
