Tom Hartzell

Finucane and Hartzell, Attorneys at Law

Atticus gave us a plan for implementation of time management and financial awareness in our practice. Atticus really challenged us to follow through on that plan and gave us direction to implement the steps to really take our practice to the next level. We have increased revenue and our time is used more efficiently, which gives us more confidence to operate as attorneys and as humans. The [Atticus Program] really made how we operate more efficient because we are in action. Atticus is like professional therapy.

Limon Law Office

The [Atticus Program] helped energize me anew to run a better practice and a better life. There is great power in the words they shared: "This is my practice and this is my life." Their written materials are an invaluable resource for managing everything from staff to calendars, emails, marketing timetables and profit margins. The trip to Florida from Texas was well worth the investment.

Adam Loewy

Loewy Law Firm, P.C.

Working with Atticus has been a transformative process on every level. In my personal life, I have made some substantive changes that have been life changing. In my business, I have made more money in the last two years than I ever have. On both fronts, I am happier than ever. I attribute much, if not most, of this to Atticus. One of the biggest impacts of implementing some of the Atticus methods and principles is that I feel much more in control of my life and my business.

Edward L. Kainen

Kainen Law Group

Atticus has been a game changer for me and for my practice. I came to Atticus as someone who already had a successful and well run practice. With the help of Atticus I have taken it to the next level. The practice is larger, more profitable, better run, and as a result of developing additional skills, I am now spending substantially more quality time with my family – which is the real reason any of us do this.

Supercharge your law firm’s future.

Chris Carlyle

The Carlyle Appellate Law Firm

[Atticus] was recommended to us by some of the top lawyers in Florida. We kept hearing about [Atticus] through so many trial lawyers that we decided to give it a try. Afterward, we chose to move forward with one-on-one coaching and the Rainmakers program. It has been an amazing learning experience. The Atticus philosophy has had a profound impact on everything that we do.

I am happy to write about my experience at the program. I believe it will be the best thing that I have done for my practice and personal life. Just attending the [Atticus Program] gave me some concrete advice and tips for increasing my billable time capture and immediately increasing my revenues for thousands of dollars.

Mary E. Ryan

Taylor Ryan

Attending the [Atticus Program] is far and away the best thing that I have done for myself and my practice...ever. I wish that I had attended it years ago. I came back with a plan for grabbing hold of my practice and moving it forward in the direction that I want it to go, rather than just going along for a ride. The seminar provides a comprehensive approach to improving your practice, but it also provides practical tips that you can implement immediately. Unlike other management seminars, Atticus focuses only on lawyers and provides concrete guidance for setting goals and working towards those goals in a law practice.

Kim King

King & Wood Attorneys at Law

It's been a wonderful growth opportunity [Practice Growth Program] – an eye opener for me and for my firm as a result. Don’t sit on the fence very long if you really want to make a change in your life – the quality of your life and the quality of your practice. Go ahead and do it now. Don’t wait.

Crush your goals and turn your practice into a powerhouse.

Mindy Felinton

Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning

I've taken away the hiring and firing process by learning how to hire and how to conduct interviews, so that was really key for me. Also putting into place a bonus structure. Without a shadow of a doubt it [Practice Growth Program] has changed my practice tremendously. It would not have grown had I not participated in this.

Mark Bobotek

Golden Oak Elder Law P.C.

If you really participate in this program [Practice Growth Program], you are focused and you are accountable on the things that make you money, the things that don't make you money, and the things that you should be doing and the things that other people should be doing. Be ready to play a bigger game than you used to play. You're going to be using tools where you can’t fool yourself.

Dave Frisse

Frisse & Brewster

I've had a particular number goal in the back of my mind and in my heart for the last ten years and we just met it, and it’s at least three times where I was five years ago. If you’re serious about changing your life and your practice and having the practice serve your life as well as serve your clients, you’re crazy not to try it. [Practice Growth Program]

Sonny Chastain

Kean | Miller, LLP

[Atticus] caused me to pick my head up from the daily grind and further identify my personal priorities and professional goals. I worked with Nora Bergman and other Atticus team members who offered great practical advice on changes to consider to my management/marketing systems which would enable me to move closer to achieving my goals. While at the conference, I also enjoyed working with my attorney group members who were from all around the country. In my group, we discussed common practice management issues in the business of law today and exchanged ideas to address them.

Work smarter. Achieve more. Skyrocket your firm’s success.

Karl Burgunder

Law offices of Karl A Burgunder

The [Atticus Program] was a truly eye-opening and transforming experience. The systematic, common sense approach employed by the presenters opened up a sense of possibility to the notion that the practice of law can be, and should be, both a learned profession and a profitable entrepreneurial venture.

Brian D. Guralnick

Brian D. Guralnick Injury

First, I would like to say that I am constantly referring any overworked and/or inefficient lawyer that I know to Atticus. Since I am very selective on whom I work with, that speaks volumes of you and your coaches. I also appreciate that you are not a high-pressure sales person and it is evident that you truly want to help people who are interested in helping themselves in their legal and personal endeavors.

Susan Stobbart Shapiro

Council Baradel

My weekend at the [Atticus Program] course provided me with an entirely fresh perspective on my practice and opened the door to an idea that, prior to Atticus, seemed paradoxical: That I could actually engineer my practice so that I could become more profitable while working fewer hours. In short, it was an eye-opener. Thank you.

Kevin J. Webb

Curry & Friend

The [Atticus Program] encourages you not to accept the status quo. It makes you realize that you are in charge of your practice. It teaches you to think smarter, not work harder, manage your time more effectively, hire the right people and grow your practice.

Build a great practice and great life.

David P. Carlton

David Carlton Mediation

The systems approach in the [Atticus Program] really struck a chord with me. I can see how this approach would make our practice less dependent on me, and at the same time improve our service to the client and increase profitability. I strongly recommend [Atticus]. It allows you to put yourself first, and build your practice around your goals and values. For one, I'm tired of being wed to the practice of law and [Atticus] has shown me the way out of the storm.

Kevin Urbatsch

Urbatsch Law Firm P.C.

What we’ve been able to do is…I’ve been able to take weekends off, which was always a bonus because before I started the program I wasn’t able to do so, so that’s been a real help to me personally. I would strongly recommend anybody who’s trying to get to the next level of their practice to consider this program [Practice Growth Program].

T. Verner Smith

Law Offices of T. Verner Smith

The [Atticus Program] was a wonderful experience for me. Bottom line, I feel that the [Atticus Program] helped me confirm for myself that, with the right tools and discipline, I have the ability to control, work on and build my practice, instead of the reverse situation — my practice controlling and "working" me to death. I feel confident that I can reduce my time in the office, while increasing my income and the quality of my personal life.

Jason Naimi

Naimi & Cerceo Family Law

Attending the Atticus program has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done for myself and my practice. It has changed my way of thinking and practicing law. Atticus has enabled me to provide exceptional legal representation to my clients, while enabling me to spend more time with my family without sacrificing our financial stability. In fact, I'm working less, spending more time with my family, while making more money. I can't recommend Atticus enough.

Score fast wins that deliver immediate results.

Kate Mesic

The Law Offices of Kate Mesic, PA

The sections that I enjoyed the most were time management and client development. Both of these had concrete, practical ideas that could be implemented immediately. The moment I got back to the office I put them to the test and they worked! The level of my interruptions has gone down tremendously, which means I am much more productive. On the client development side, the exercises forced me to sit down and think about, "why am I in business and what am I trying to accomplish?" something that I have not done before. This set a clear path for me and I know what I want to do now.

Ana Veliz

Miami Medicaid Law

I think that most of the advice that comes out of this type of group workshop [Practice Growth Program] is some things that are implementable right away and they make a very significant difference in not only my practice but also my life.

Larry Moore

Moore & Trousdale, PC

I want to thank you and the rest of the Atticus staff for the incredible program you presented during the [Atticus Program]. Ironically, I first signed up because the [Atticus Program] coincided with a scheduled trip to Orlando; and as a "To Kill a Mockingbird" fan, I was attracted to the Atticus name. Much to my surprise, I discovered that the evaluation prior to the [Atticus Program], the materials and program itself, and the continuing support of the Atticus staff combined to ensure this was one of the most interesting, professionally executed, and truly useful programs I have attended in my 25 years practicing law.

Philip S. Kinney

Kinney & Sasso Attorneys at Law, PLLC

[Atticus] identified areas of weakness and systems for improving to sustain long term success. The two areas of the [Atticus Program] that were very beneficial for me were staffing and marketing. These are also the weakest areas of my business. I don't enjoy managing employees, and historically, I've been lazy about marketing. Instead, I tend to focus on doing 99.9% of the work with very little delegation. [Atticus] provides systems for dealing with both. The seminar ended on Saturday evening. On Sunday, I reviewed my notes and the materials that were provided, and by Monday I instituted new systems for both areas. The changes provided instantaneous results.

Take control of your time. Reclaim your freedom.

Jeffrey J. Hernandez

Law Office of Jeffrey J. Hernandez

Prior to attending the [Atticus Program], I felt overwhelmed, stressed out, and couldn't sleep. I didn't have a handle on cases, client service, or time for lawyer work. I felt like I had no control over my practice or my destiny. I now see that there is light at the end of the tunnel with the proper approach. I'm equipped to systematize the office vs. acting like a fireman all the time. There is a better way with proper tools and personnel, and I'm focusing on managing my practice like a business.

Ted Anderson

Kilgore & Kilgore, PLLC

Personal injury lawyers know the chaos and sense of helplessness often associated with personal injury practices. I know from my own experience. Atticus teaches us lawyers efficient time management techniques. Atticus gives us the resources to effectively manage the support staff that is so valuable to the personal injury practice. Atticus also helped me implement and build an effective client development program to feed my personal injury machine. They can help you too.

Ivan Clements

Ivan K. Clements, Jr., P.A.

Before Atticus came into my life, I was struggling. I was a sole practitioner who was basically starting from scratch. I didn't have much business. To make matters worse, I didn’t know how to get more clients or run my practice like a business after I did. Thanks to Atticus and my coach, Glenn Gutek (a.k.a. "my man"), I now know how to take control over my time, my practice and my personal life. I use Atticus "time blocking" on my calendar, and I leverage my time by delegating properly to my team. This has made a huge impact on my practice and my life. I take four trips per year with my wife, and I have complete peace of mind on each trip knowing that "all is well" back at the office. I rarely make more than two calls to the office while I'm away on vacation. That says a lot. Of course, I also like the fact that I'm making a LOT more money now!!

David Shuler

Shuler Law Firm, LLC

I believe that if I implement the principles I learned at Atticus, Atticus will prove to be a life-changing experience. I have been trying to block time, attend marketing events, lunches, etc... and just improve every aspect of my practice. I have been going home on time and I have been much more productive at the office. I have been establishing and rekindling relationships with attorneys and other professionals who will be referring quality business to my office.

Run your law firm as a successful business.

Mindy L. Zoghlin

The Zoghlin Group, PLLC

[Atticus] provided a comprehensive, systematic approach to transforming our law firm from a successful provider of legal services to an extremely well-run law business that provides exceptional client experiences as well as results. We were impressed with the content of this program and are excited about implementing what we learned.

Brett Willie

Curry & Friend

The [Atticus Program] was an eye-opening experience and its concept is very clever in its simplicity... that we are rewarded in our profession only to the extent we add value to the lives of the clients we serve and that by adding value to our clients' lives we are able to compete in the marketplace far more effectively. The [Atticus Program] has truly expanded my perception of the broad role of attorneys within successful firms. It's an awareness that comes with seeing the practice of law through the eyes of an entrepreneur who is selling his or her business as opposed to a technician simply focused on getting the work done.

Glen Ged

Ellis, Ged & Bodden, P.A.

I started working with Atticus because I wanted my business to work for me, not me working for my business. With the time management, marketing, staffing and financial tools I received from Atticus, I was able to treat my business as a business and gain great financial rewards and more family freedom.

Guy Garner

Garner Law Firm, P.C.

I’ve taken a lot of programs that always promised the magic bullet to success. This program not only lays it out before you on what can be accomplished, but it gives you the tools to do that. They’re very concrete – it just lays it out and you know I’ve always had the impression it will work if I work it.

Rediscover your passion for law—now.

Robert F. Kulik, PA

Kulik Law Firm

The [Atticus Program] was excellent. I attend most seminars hoping to get one or two nuggets of information or ideas that I can use. [Atticus] far exceeded my expectations, with a comprehensive understanding and approach to operating a law practice. It forced me to be honest with myself in determining my own strengths and weaknesses. All of the presenters were outstanding. Patrick's use of analogies and storytelling effectively used persuasive lawyering techniques on a group of lawyers. I highly recommend Atticus.

Jack L. Townsend, Sr.

Jack L. Townsend, Sr., P.A.

The [Atticus] workshop was just what we needed to help with confronting how are we planning for the next one, five and ten years. This was eye-opening, rejuvenating, and refreshing for this 25+ year attorney. Through the course work and presentations on goal setting, time/self-management reviews, marketing planning and operations/cash flow oversight, I became re-energized about focusing on the tremendous business opportunity in my practice. I'm now enthusiastically running my law business instead of it running me.

Kevin Quinn

Legacy Counselors, P.C.

If you care about your practice, if you care about playing on a higher level, about really enjoying what you’re doing again, give it a shot. Jump in the game.

Kathryn F. Scott

Scott & Fenderson

[Atticus] re-ignited my passion for the law and my law office. After 12 years of being a lawyer, I feel that same excitement I had for the law and for practicing law that I had when I graduated from law school. I feel optimistic and happy about my future and my law practice and about being a lawyer. Seriously, we are so happy we attended. It has really refocused us in a way that was long overdue.

Create your blueprint for success. Beat every milestone with accountability.

Ben H. Cristal

Cristal | Hanenian

Sitting in the [Atticus] seminar, I realized that there were attorneys all at different stages of progress. The range seemed to be attorneys with no basic knowledge of how to run a business to attorneys that seemed to be doing most things successfully. However, the course was still presented in such a manner that benefited everyone; and in working in different break-out groups, I could tell that even the successful attorneys were making breakthroughs in their thinking. If you are doing things right, [Atticus Program] helps you understand why it is right and to build on it. If there are areas in which you are lacking, it lays out a framework to succeed.

Linda I. Braithwaite

The Family Law Source

…nine years later, I find that the environment has significantly changed, both in technology and economy. I knew that attending another [Atticus] Workshop would be just what I needed to get back on track and succeed even as others will continue to struggle in this financial market. The four (4) week follow-up to keep the ball rolling helps us to cement the ideas, systems, and work habits that make the program so successful. Many thanks to all of you at Atticus for your continued support.

Joseph Seagle

Seagle Law

Having already been involved with Atticus through the Rainmakers, I realized that my practice and I could use even more of a push in the right direction. The [Atticus Program] and follow up phone conferences have provided that push. I feel a new energy about my practice. I feel that I have direction again, and am charting a course in the right direction. I am gaining more control over my time, my staff, my clients and my life, and seeing that — while it makes my life easier — it is having the same effect on everyone else in my practice. I would recommend the course to anyone who is frustrated with the course their practice is taking and wants to make a positive change in their life.

John J. Flanagan

Torti Flanagan, P.C.

After 25 years in private practice, I found the [Atticus Program] to be an insightful look into the business of law office management. I found the program enriching, both as to what I needed to do to build a better practice, but also as to the things my office was doing right. The implementation stage is the key, and the Atticus process emphasizes and assists with this critical stage after you have returned. This is most helpful as progress is made while the lessons learned at the program move from implementation to fruition. I would recommend [Atticus] without hesitation.

Greg Stokes

Stokes & Kopitsky, P.A.

Atticus touched on all the basics in a fairly comprehensive fashion. Each segment seemed to be just the right length of time and dealt with things every well-run law firm should be doing. I particularly enjoyed the exercises. They kept me focused on each topic. The written seminar material was helpful in visualizing improvements that we should all work towards.

Ronnie Morton

Morton Law Firm, PLLC

It's really drawn a clear picture of what I will benefit most on and they’ve given me a roadmap of how to accomplish that [Practice Growth Program]. I’ve done past programs where I’ve come in with lots of ideas and nothing to be said about it. I had a notebook full of ideas and nothing happens. Here there is a clear path of how to do it, and second I would say it’s accountability to get it done.

Michele Fuller

Michigan Law Center

I will tell you that the most impactful thing that I have done is really change my perception of myself and my role in my business. Absolutely without question the best investment I have ever made. [Practice Growth Program]

James Joseph

Joseph Law Group, P.C.

Atticus provided me with the tools (and the support to ensure that I implemented these tools) with which I was able to prove that providing excellent legal representation for my clients, being financially successful, and spending time with my family were not mutually exclusive. In fact, the synergy of the success I have enjoyed in each of these areas has greatly benefited not only me personally, but my staff and of utmost importance, my clients.
