Whether you are a Solo Practitioner, or Partner in a law practice, you know you need to have a book of business and an understanding of law practice management to be in control of your legal career. Many law practices have closed their doors in the past 10 years. In order to be prepared to change firms or start your own if you need to, you will want to insure that you have solid client relationships thus developing a book of business of your own. Once in a new firm you will need to continue to build on those client relationships to insure a profitable practice. To build a profitable law practice you need to know the different areas of law practice management: how to become a rainmaker, how to hire and manage a staff, how to bill your clients in a timely way and how to efficiently manage your time. There is a lot to do in law practice management! Imagine if you could manage your legal work, get a steady flow of new clients, have a profitable practice and a great life too! You can.

As a client of Alvah Parker, the attorneys' coach you will find:
- You are less stressed because you have more control over your practice
- Your practice is growing and you have time for other facets of your life that you didn't have before

Some of the issues I have worked on with clients are how to:
- address and overcome fears
- change habits that are getting in the way
- set and attain goals
- overcome challenges
- eliminate limiting beliefs
- improve cash flow
- define and articulate a clear vision
- attain a healthy and happy life
- develop and execute a marketing plan
- become a rainmaker
- manage time
- delegate work
From seminars, I had material from coaches with national reputations which I rarely used. From the beginning of my work with Alvah, I thought that she had the best approach and materials. Alvah's diagnostic tests helped us focus on the specific goals and areas needing improvement. While it is a work in progress, Alvah deserves a lot of credit for her "tough love" approach of asking the right questions and prodding me to meet the expectations that we have jointly set.
