The Solo Practice Make-Over program allows solo attorneys the time, space, and support, to review what they are doing right and what they are doing that might expose them to a disciplinary claim. You will get over 6 hours of coaching from your host Allison Wood, who has spent the last decade defending attorneys who face disciplinary claims. You will receive worksheets to reinforce what you learn about the way to select clients, the way you market to them, the way you service them, the way you manage your time, and the way you manage your money.
And, the program has been approved for up to 6 MCLE Illinois credits including ethics credits. Assistance will be provided for non-Illinois attorneys to apply for MCLE Credit in their jurisdictions.
"This is a course that any attorney can use to make their practice better and more intentional. This was a great experience and every attorney should do it.
