Virtual Law Firm Secrets: How to Run Your Law Firm So It Doesn't Run You

Tons of quick helpful tips.

Whether you will like this book and find value in it is probably a function of how savvy you are already to digital marketing and the tools for scaling a law firm. There's a lot of great stuff boiled into a short, easy-to-read book. Sam doesn't waste a ton of time explaining the background context and telling a ton of stories, which I think for many of us that have read a lot of business books is a welcome break. For some people, though, his statements about what you should do or can do to grow your business may seem too simplistic. This book is best, in my opinion, for people who are just starting to explore the space of digital advertising, using VAs, and automation software. He'll give you a helpful primer at a very high level on how to do some basic stuff. With that being said, if you're looking for specific details on how to do particular tasks, build funnels, better leverage VAs or create a great environment for them to work, whatever, you're probably not going to get much of that in this book. Instead, you'll need to refer to the various resources he links to and books he refers to. In that way, this book serves more as a hub for developing awareness about the basic pieces of building a virtual law firm, but more granular training will need to be explored in other books, other tools, or other courses.

good book

The author does give some good tips on how to automate your law practice and suggests some helpful tools. However, he reads so many self aggrandizing testimony letters, and constantly promotes his services that it tends to be annoying. There are other ways to do marketing for his services, and his credibility has been established, but readers want information, not more marketing.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to make their law practice more efficient and profitable. It is a must-read for any lawyer looking to start a virtual law firm, or even those of us with brick and mortar law firms just trying to run things more efficiently. I've been working with Sam for awhile now and I can't believe that he's willing to part with some of his best secrets - some he's shared before and some were brand new to me. Sam gives clear, step-by-step instructions on how to get this set up. His tips and advice are based on years of experience, and they really work if you are willing implement. I highly recommend this book.

Not a 1 start because it has sparked ideas. But only a 2 stars because the book is just a sales pitch to ultimately spend $15,000 on this company's services.

Wow! This has to be one of the best resources for an attorney I have ever read. It is packed with so much useful information that anyone can immediately implement. Usually books give great ideas or concepts, and Virtual Law Firm Secrets shows step by step how to be more profitable with less time spent workin in your law firm. I have used several of the secrets and continue to implement more and more. This is the first book any graduating law student or practicing attorney going solo should read. Click order NOW! You won't regret it. Thank you Sam for overdelivering once again.

The idea of automating more tasks and using technology more heavily in a law office is good. Unfortunately, this book is a teaser and just an infomercial to buy into his Legal Funnel program.A large part of the book (pages and pages) are useless customer reviews from his program. The book had no substantive information except to recommend certain online services (such as google docs, google calendar) that, I assume, most everyone already knows about. Imbedded in the book are "links" to get the actual information I thought I was buying in the book; however, when I typed in the link to get the document, it requires a name, email address and telephone number. After providing that information, then I receive an email that asks me to "reply" to the email and subscribe to their facebook and youtube. Keep in mind there are separate links for all the different promised documents/ info lists and ALL require you to put in the email, name and phone number.While his program may be very good, I would not join it because of the sneaky marketing trick with the book and the later hassle/ run around to access the content that the book was supposed to provide and that "content" was not very enlightening.

Quick read with tools for automating one's practice. It is a sales pitch for Legal Funnels though that I haven't yet used.

Personally I found the book really bad, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.In my opinion, the information shared in the book is really basic and not written in a comprehensive and coherent way that let you actually apply it.For me in the book there is no system that you can use to create a virtual law firm from scratch: just a couple of tips thrown in there sloppily, covering in a perfunctory manner everything from personal motivation to the creation of email sequences... in just few pages! In fact, the book is written in such large fonts and with such wide spacing that the hundred or so pages that make it up could probably be a third.As a professional marketer I only found bits of information plucked here and there and put together to self-publish a book whose purpose would seem only to promote the Legal Funnel program run by the author. A funnel is a way of directing potential customers into your sales system, and one of the many ways to do this (the so-called "Book Funnel") is to publish a book to make yourself known and position yourself as an expert. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case here, and I am sorry about it.I am very disappointed, and I think there are really better texts out there, even among those who are only trying to promote their business or course.
