- Keep you inside the lines if you want to practice a bit differently – whether it’s your pricing, your technology, or your service offering.

TRANSFORMING YOUR LEGAL PRACTICE
My Approach
My approach at The Lawyer’s Friend is to take the mystery out of legal practice compliance, making it accessible, purposeful and easier to navigate.
With a keen focus on the ‘missing middle’ market, I guide and coach lawyers who want to provide more accessible and affordable services for these under-serviced clients. Combining your expertise with my deep understanding of consumers and legal needs research, I’ll help you identify the problems that need your creative legal solutions, and I’ll help you ensure those solutions are compliant.
Working predominantly with small practices, I’ve seen the dedication of lawyers serving individual clients. I understand the challenges and the friction that can arise in lawyer-client relationships. My goal is to help you refine your practice, delivering exceptional service that adds value to both you and your clients.
