I went out with new marketing materials that feature any NEW attorney-client the first review FREE (with a generous limit on the amount of time I spend), and on my first day out, got a case from an attorney I have been wanting to work with for a year! He told me he doesn't think the case has enough to pursue, but said if he gets a recovery, I will still get paid - even though I was offering to do it free. After my first review of this case, I found an issue so obvious to me - that he did not catch. This approach has also given me a confidence because they have nothing to lose by trying me out!

For one attorney I summarized the first 40 pages of a deposition as a professional courtesy knowing that he would want me to summarize the rest so I went ahead and summarized the whole deposition. He never did ask me to finish summarizing it but he hired me to formulate deposition questions for a physician, prepare a statement of the case which was simplified by having that key deposition summarized and locate a testifying expert. This was a great case and a tough attorney. Congratulations Louise!

I offered him a deal that he couldn't refuse. In return for doing a personal injury case for him, all I asked for was referrals to other attorneys. He agreed and I gave it my all and presented him with a complete review of his case with it's strengths and weaknesses as well as a chronology. I not only got the referrals but he also handed me one of his own personal injury cases that spanned 10 years. Gulp!! I completed the case to his satisfaction with a few extras thrown in. He loved it and is now considering giving me another. A new attorney I was trying to establish a relationship with was reluctant to to try my services. I offered him a deal that he couldn’t refuse.
