    Product Description

    Law school teaches one to become a lawyer. However, it does not teach one how to run a business or practice. The family law dollar is one of the toughest dollars in the law to earn (and collect). Emotions and conflict may be high, assets and income are likely being divided or apportioned, delays, and unrealistic expectations and potentially complex and varied financial and custodial issues arise…and in the midst of all that, you need to run your business. It’s not enough to be a great lawyer; you also need to be paid for your diligence, expertise, and skill.

    Every attorney who wants to build a book of business (the greatest form of job security for a family law attorney) needs to tend to the business side of the practice, whether they are in a large firm, small firm, or are a solo practitioner. This course gives you tips, insight and guidance on getting paid, best business practices, managing client expectations, and options for formal collection. The high human element in family law, in addition to its complexity, makes it a challenging area to practice. This program helps you maximize your ability to get paid for all your hard work in this demanding, but rewarding area of law.
