Nevada Justice Association Informational Lunch

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

I’m very pleased to be traveling to Las Vegas next week to serve as a guest speaker at the Nevada Justice Association’s Informational Lunch.  I’ll be spending time sharing with NJA members the special business and financial challenges faced by contingent-fee lawyers and ways to successfully manage their law firm finances.  I believe in what trial lawyers do and I enjoy helping them get the best results possible for their clients by maximizing their business and financial effectiveness.

CAL-ABOTA Conference Update from Hawaii

Friday, November 8th, 2013

So far it’s been a great week here at the Turtle Bay Resort on the north shore of Oahu.  I’ve enjoyed seeing some old friends and also making some new ones.  The educational seminars have been excellent.  We have enjoyed interesting and helpful presentations from:

Landon Harlan of OBU Interactive

Jane-Riley Pugh of EPS Settlements Group

Douglas Brand of Medivest

Michael T. “Mick” Callahan, President of ABOTA

The Hon. Russell Bostrom, Ret. of Judicate West

Richard Gabriel of Decision Analysis, Inc.

Mark P. Robinson, Jr., President Elect of ABOTA

I also had the pleasure of being a guest speaker, presenting a primer called “Law Firm Finance 101 – What They Don’t Teach You in Law School.”, which was a lot of fun.

Kudos to CAL-ABOTA President Steve Glickman, CAL-ABOTA Executive Director Shirley Schwartz and to Sara Mooney and the rest of the team at Carousel Travel for an excellent meeting.

There have been having some great social events too, click here to see a few photos from this week.

Tonight we’re looking forward to the Gala at which the 2013 CAL-ABOTA Trial Lawyer of the Year, Edith Matthai, will be honored.

Aloha!

CAL-ABOTA Annual Conference in Hawaii

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013

I am pleased to be traveling to Hawaii next week to give a continuing legal education presentation at the CAL-ABOTA  Annual Conference.  The conference is from November 4^th-13^th at the Turtle Bay Resort on the island of Oahu.  The presentation will focus on financial and management topics for law firms.

CAL-ABOTA is the California chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).  ABOTA fosters improvement in the ethical and technical standards of practice in the field of advocacy to the end that individual litigants may receive more effective representation and the general public be benefited by more efficient administration of justice consistent with time-tested and traditional principles of litigation.

If you are a CAL-ABOTA member, I’d like to encourage you to consider attending the conference and I look forward to meeting you there!  Click here for more information and to register for the meeting.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas – William S. Boyd School of Law

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013

I’m very pleased to be traveling to Las Vegas next week to serve as a guest speaker at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas – William S. Boyd School of Law.  I’ll be spending a few hours sharing with some of the students about the special business and financial challenges they will face as lawyers, especially if they choose to serve their communities as contingent-fee lawyers.  I believe in what trial lawyers do and I enjoy helping them (and future lawyers) get the best results possible for their clients by maximizing their business and financial effectiveness.

Bisnar | Chase Mastermind Presentation

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013

I am pleased to be traveling to Huntington Beach, CA this week to give a presentation to the Bisnar | Chase Mastermind Meeting.  This private mastermind group is made up of some of the best trial lawyers from all around the country.   In a spirit of cooperation, they gather regularly to share best-practices ideas regarding how they can better serve their clients.  Mastermind Group Leader John Bisnar of Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys is not only an excellent trial lawyer, he is also a sought-after expert in all aspects of marketing and running a top-notch plaintiff law firm.  My presentation will be based upon the usual CLE content from my book How David Beats Goliath – Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms, although this particular talk will not be CLE certified since it has lawyers from multiple states.  California, here I come!
