I had the good fortune of meeting Regina Olbinsky in October 2009, when I attended an Atticus program in Florida.  Regina has been a major factor in the success of my law practice. Regina is a delightful person, and she has a very focused business mind and is good with numbers.  The guidance she gave me was a valuable combination of marketing, time management, financial management, and overall operation of my law practice.  I strongly recommend Regina to any attorney who is looking for wise counsel in the operation of a law practice, or in making the career-changing decisions with which she assisted me.

In my professional life, I can count on one hand those individuals who have had a transformative effect on my career trajectory. As a lawyer, these individuals have all been lawyers with the exception of Regina Olbinsky. Regina has guided me to transform my law practice into a business that has grown smartly year over year. She has instilled in me habits, such as goal-setting and deliberative decision-making, that has allowed me to learn from mistakes made and evolve and improve from them. I’m very excited to continue working with Regina and reap the fruits of that collaboration.

We started working with Regina because we wanted help getting our firm finances in order. Her guidance over the past few years has directly resulted in a significant increase in the profitability of our practice. In addition to her sound business advice, her counsel on hiring new attorneys and staff, addressing personnel issues, and cultivating a positive and productive firm culture has been invaluable. Deciding to work with Regina is one of the best decisions we’ve made for our practice.

Regina and Atticus have transformed my life and my practice in so many positive ways. With the support of Regina and the Atticus programs, I have had the tools and guidance to grow my practice, substantially increase my income, and provide excellent legal representation, while increasing the quantity and quality of time I spend with my family.  I rarely work on weekends and am able to take significant time off for vacation and holidays. With Regina’s guidance and Atticus principles I feel in control of the growth of my practice and able to obtain my life goals. I can’t recommend Regina and Atticus enough.
