They are not necessarily your lowest-paying clients. Some of them may be paying you premium fees. But somewhere in your gut, you already know who they are: the names on the caller ID that make your stomach tighten, the Saturday-night emails about non-emergencies, the matters that drag on twice as long as they should.

I'll also share a moment from my own early years as a law firm owner that I should have acted on three years sooner than I did. By the end of our time together, you'll have: • A one-page audit you can complete this week with a pen, a printed client list, and forty-five minutes • A way to spot the pattern hiding in your Bottom 20 — the practice area, referral source, or matter type you may need to stop saying yes to • Three margin-of-the-page questions that have the power to dramatically transform your practice • A reframe for the voice in your head that says, \"But what if I can't replace the revenue?\" This is not a \"fire all your difficult clients tomorrow\" episode. It is an honest, math-first conversation about why your best…","meta_description":"There is a small group of clients in your firm right now who are quietly making you poor — and you can probably already name them.
