By looking at the [Atticus Program] through the eyes of a business owner, I can see that my law practice is only part of my life, and that by living an intentional life, and that by re-engineering my firm – intentionally – I can add energy to my practice and revitalize my entire life. I now have a vision. And the vision is leading me to a place where I believe that I don't have to sacrifice my life to have all that I wish for in life.

As a sole practitioner, for years I had thought it would be extremely helpful if there was someone specializing in law firms who could set me on a different course in regard to increasing the quality of my life, decreasing my stress and hours worked, and maybe even increase my income. A friend of mine had used Atticus in the past and recommended them to me. I attended a two day seminar and am convinced I am on the right track, so much so that I am now working with an Atticus consultant on a weekly basis and am encouraged I am going in the right direction.

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.

I had taken short versions of the [Atticus Program] and always came away with at least one great new idea. The two-day course was even better; the sense of belonging is terrific. My associate and I are looking forward to the follow-up. So far, all systems go!!

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.

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.

Before attending the [Atticus Program], practicing law had stopped being fun. It had become a daily grind involving bad clients, bad cases and little money. Working with Atticus, I realized that I needed to treat my practice of law like a business. My law firm is a business and I need to tweak it, repair it and improve it, so that it runs like a business... and not just any business, but a profitable business. This can be done, but I must want to change myself before I can start making the changes necessary at the firm, which requires me to get out of my comfort zone. Having returned home, so far I'm experiencing less stress and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. If you feel like you’re in a rut, spinning your wheels, going nowhere – then Atticus is for you.
