This is a classic re-run of my episode with Molly McGrath. Molly McGrath is the CEO and founder of Hiring & Empowering Solutions, a company that takes a very unique approach to answering two of the most critical questions that I hear most frequently from solo and small firm practitioners: How do I go about hiring staff and how do I train my staff to best support my organization?

Molly has a unique take on outsourcing that I think will be invaluable to solo and small firm attorneys who want to stay focused on what they do best – like practicing law – but also want their business to run smoothly and efficiently.

Today, my guest is Jonathan Rosenfeld. Jonathan is the principal owner and creator of his law firm, a personal injury law firm outside of Chicago. In our conversation today, we’ll talk a lot about the nuances of a personal injury practice, particularly in light of the fact that post-pandemic, many law firms are becoming more virtualized, and work is being done more in a remote fashion. We also look at this way of doing business in the personal injury space and if it lends itself to that type of workflow or not. Listen in to another great conversation!

In this episode, Neil and Jonathan discuss:

• The evolution of personal injury law firms with the increase in remote work. 
• Flexible work options and hiring successful employees. 
• Increasing efficiency and decreasing human error through automation and systems. 
• Appropriately conveying information to clients and juries. 

 

Key Takeaways:

• The commute is a waste of time for most people. If your employees have more flexibility in where and when they work, they will happily get their work done regardless of where and when they are working. 
• Case intake has increasingly moved out of the 9 to 5 timeframe as people submit inquiries online or even call outside of standard office hours. 
• Over time, the type of cases you see will help you to develop your systems, automations, and how the resources in your office will be divided. 
• Prepare, prepare, prepare. The preparation for trial begins with how the work is handled from the beginning of the case. 

 

“Without systems, there are a lot of opportunities in this business for errors. These are errors, which not only affect your business but, ultimately, they can affect the client’s case and it’s really hard to undo that type of damage.” —  Jonathan Rosenfeld

Today, my guest is Taylor Darcy. Taylor is a business attorney and small firm practitioner out of San Diego, California, who has been a longtime listener of the podcast here. I am delighted to have Taylor on the program. Today, we’re going to spend quite a bit of time talking about his journey, but maybe more to the point, Taylor is one of the biggest advocates and users of YouTube videos, particularly live YouTube video sessions, to market and promote his law firm and set it apart from others in the San Diego area. We get into the weeds about YouTube marketing, and YouTube content development. So I hope that’s important, useful information that you can turn around and using your practice. 

In this episode, Neil and Taylor discuss:

• Creating a brand approach in naming your law firm. 
• Marrying planning and action for your business success. 
• Carrying prior experiences and careers into your law practice. 
• Creative marketing that provides value. 

 

Key Takeaways:

• Hope and prayer is not a strategy for business. While it can be what you do as well, you must plan and do it in order to succeed in your business. 
• Often the executives are no smarter than you are, they took a chance where you did not and took action where you sat back. 
• Efficiencies, automation, and client experience can set you apart and make you competitive as a small or solo law firm. 
• YouTube is the second most searched search engine in the world. It takes less time than you think and provides a largely untapped market that most lawyers do not venture into. 

 

“If you’re providing good and meaningful content, people don’t care if you say ‘um’. People recognize that you’re a human being, and a lot of them are too afraid to do it themselves. They’re not going to judge you. Honestly, anybody that’s going to give you a hard time over your mistakes aren’t somebody that you’re going to want to work with anybody anyway.” —  Taylor Darcy
