The legal industry has long been risk averse, but when it comes to adapting to the experience-driven world created by companies like Netflix, Uber, and Airbnb, adherence to the old status quo could be the death knell for today's law firms. In The Client-Centered Law Firm, Clio cofounder Jack Newton offers a clear-eyed and timely look at how providing a client-centered experience and running an efficient, profitable law firm aren't opposing ideas. With this approach, they drive each other. Covering the what, why, and how of running a client-centered practice, with examples from law firms leading this revolution as well as practical strategies for implementation, The Client-Centered Law Firm is a rallying call to unlock the enormous latent demand in the legal market by providing client-centered experiences, improving internal processes, and raising the bottom line.

The 'Lincoln Lawyer' grapples with a haunting case in a gripping thriller from bestselling author Michael Connelly. Mickey Haller gets the text 'Call me ASAP - 187', and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Suddenly, Mickey's not just trying to get his client off a murder charge, but there is a more personal connection: the victim was Gloria Dayton - his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow. Far from saving her, Haller may have been her downfall. Haunted by the ghosts of his own past, and with his own guilt or redemption on the line, he desperately needs to find out who Gloria really was and who, ultimately, was responsible for her death.

The greatest threat to the integrity of the legal system is a broke and unhappy attorney. Whether you are new to the practice or have been practicing law since the Ford Administration, you should be paid- in full- for the work you perform. You should be paid for your superior judgment, your skills, your ability to negotiate, and your knowledge-not how many hours you took to draft a pleading. The Happier Attorney: A comprehensive Guide to Charging Flat Fees for Legal Services is a step by step guide that will teach you: -What hourly billing is really costing you in money and more importantly time. -Why hourly billing is bad for clients and horrible for attorneys. -Why clients love flat fees. -How you can obtain a collection rate of 100%. -How flat fees improve your work product. -How flat fees will increase your income significantly. -How flat fees will save you so much time you won't know what to do with your time. -How flat fees will decrease staff time and costs. -How to manage one's time so that you can meet your responsibilities and have lots of time outside the office. -How to ethically and easily address any issues that arise from flat fee billing. In the nearly 19 years of owning her own practice, and well over a decade of using exclusively flat fees, even for family law litigation, Brita Long is in a unique position to share everything that you would want and need to know when you are considering moving from hourly billing to flat fees. The relief of only working as many hours as you want to work and still make the money you want to make, and have earned, is only a few hours away.
