About Jordan Ostroff
Jordan is many things to many people: Fun Dad, Pretty Good Husband, CEO of Driven Law, Owner of Carpe Diem Consulting, and Big Brothers Big Sisters Board Member
From an early age, Jordan knew he wanted to be a lawyer—even when he didn’t quite know what that entailed. After a stint as a prosecutor, he took the plunge and opened his own firm. With parents who were a postal worker and a substitute teacher, Jordan became the first lawyer in his family. Lacking any business experience, his initial years were a rough ride.
Marketing companies saw him as an easy target, taking advantage of his lack of knowledge. Facing a choice between closing his firm and filing for bankruptcy due to a $200,000 debt or learning how to run a successful business, Jordan chose to learn. This steep learning curve eventually led to a 400-day cross-country trip with his family, during which his firm had its best year yet.
Now, Jordan manages Driven Law, focusing on personal injury cases and helping injured victims get the recovery they deserve. His firm prides itself on providing top-level legal work, maintaining a low volume of cases but offering high levels of care and compassion. Jordan works three days a week, typically 20-25 hours, while his firm continues to thrive.
This journey inspired him to write the best-seller "Love Your Law Firm: A Roadmap to the Firm You've Always Wanted," aiming to help more lawyers find joy in their work and better serve their clients.
But that wasn’t enough. Jordan launched Carpe Diem Consulting to work one-on-one with other lawyers, diving deep into their true desires and crafting a plan to achieve them. He helps them build a law firm they can be proud of while living an even better life.
When not steering his companies or traveling with his family, Jordan gives back to his community, spends time with people he cares about, and even gets in a round of golf (disc or stick) or a few games of pickleball.
Jordan’s life motto? "High Seas Raise All Boats"—we are stronger together, and together we can make the world a better place.
