Create Trust with Simple and Authentic Law Firm Marketing with Ali Awad Law
Conventional wisdom teaches that law firms and businesses need to get out there and market themselves — but is that the best way to get law cases? Showing possible clients what we can do for them requires more than advertising. We cannot acquire clients through authentic law office marketing strategies and tactics alone; we must earn them through trust. But how can people trust your firm if they aren't sure how you can assist them?
In this episode, we interview the CEO Lawyer, Ali Awad — Ali is a well-known social media expert and personal injury attorney. Ali shares that harnessing social media is all about legitimacy. It's not always about advertising; in fact, 90% of his content is educational. We also discuss how to align your business model with your purpose and build a growth strategy around it.
If you want to change your law firm marketing to create genuine connections and develop visibility, tune in with Ali.

Building a Successful and Efficient Law Practice Right Out of Law School with Chris Guymon
As lawyers, a bulk of your knowledge comes from what you learn from school. Experience as an associate in an established law firm will also be beneficial for your skills development. Such experience can also help you realize what field of law to focus on if you haven't settled on one yet. But sometimes, working for bigger law firms means losing control of your own time. You might not have the liberty or authority to improve the firm's operations either.
All these problems may lead you to want to start your own practice. But, how can you start a practice right after school and passing the bar? After all, law school doesn’t teach the business side of running a law firm.
In this episode, we are joined by Chris Guymon, a family law lawyer who built a successful practice right after law school. We discuss everything about building a practice — from determining which field of law to focus on to streamlining your operations. Chris also talks about how he manages...
