For many, the law is just a job that you do to make ends meet and pay the bills. It's time to change that It's not just about work and money. It's about loving what you do and looking forward to coming to work. It's about spending time with your family and living a fun life.

Who said you have to be a slave to your law practice? IT'S TIME TO BREAK ALL OF THE RULES so you have the one thing that all lawyers should seek: autonomy to live life on your terms. THE POWER OF A SYSTEM Torts, contracts, constitutional law...you got your fill in law school of theoretical concepts that you need to pass the bar exam. But then a funny thing happened, you got out of law school, opened your new law firm and you realized something--no one ever taught you how to run your own law firm in law school. Suddenly, you're on your own with fancy new letterhead, a few clients and not much else. Your dusty law school books aren't much help. It's great to have your book smarts and fancy law degree but how do you pay the bills every Friday when your staff wants their paycheck? You pull your hair out wondering how you got yourself into this mess. This book was written for you. You are not alone. Yes, others have done the same thing before you and believe it or not, there are tried and proven recipes for success. Instead of fumbling around like the other lawyers in your town and just waiting for your phone to ring with your next case, you study the recipe and principles for a big-time injury law firm and little by little you begin implementing systems into your new law firm. You have in your hands tried and proven systems for the injury law firm of your dreams. It's not just the technical aspects of running your own law firm, but the managerial and entrepreneurial principles that you must have to keep a constant stream of new cases and clients coming down the pipe. And no, these are not law school theoretical concepts but the technical, managerial and entrepreneurial "how to" steps that have been tried and tested over years of trial and error. You won't find a book like this in your law school library...or anywhere else. Law school's out--no more time for theoretical concepts--it's time to get bills paid, move cases to trial, start making money and begin living life on your terms.

They never told you this in law school. Out of a hundred new lawyers in prestigious, high-profile law firms: Two will have a long-term career at the firm, ninety-eight of you will (sooner or later) be shown the door. There's an overwhelming chance you will become another statistic and one day you'll be on your own with no law firm to provide security, a paycheck, or even a desk. If you don't know how to manage and grow a law firm, you will be lost in a sea of lawyers. You will be desperate for any clients you can get and have no idea how to manage a sta or hire a team of superstar employees. This book was written for you. Most books about law firm management and marketing are motivational with little practical advice. But when you have your own law practice and are just trying to survive, you don't need motivation--you need to know what to do ... right now. This book was written to fill that gap--the gap between theory and practice. The gap that law schools ignore, the gap that many lawyers ignore. Take small, baby steps to implement these principles, and with some time, consistent application, and a heavy dose of courage, you will be on the way to building the law firm of your dreams.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After leaving a fast-track legal career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley & Figg, a self-described “boutique law firm” that is anything but. Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are in fact just two ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple. But now the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich—without requiring them to actually practice much law. A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks. Wally smells money. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit. It almost seems too good to be true ... and it is. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!
