New Modern Lawyer

The New Modern Lawyer provides information and resources for lawyers who are starting or operating a small firm or solo law practice. Law school teaches how to do legal research, write pleadings and briefs, and “think like a lawyer.” However, law school does not teach the business of running a law practice. The site strives to be that missing law school class.

The focus of the New Modern Lawyer is on providing you, the solo or small firm practitioner, with relevant information and helping to make your law practice as successful as possible.

Founder

The New Modern Lawyer Podcast is hosted by Brad Miller, lawyer and coach for solo and small firm attorneys. This podcast will help you transform your law practice through Deliberate Design, Core Business Competency, Mental Mastery, and Powerful Positioning so that you can have a practice that gives you the life you want, not a life that is at the mercy of your practice. If you want to stop struggling, spend more time with your family, live a life of abundance, and make a difference in the lives of your clients, then this podcast is for you.

Host of the New Modern Lawyer Podcast

Does your solo or small firm practice stress you out?

❌  Do you work late and on the weekends to make sure you get your work done for your clients?
❌  Do you sometimes get so busy that sending out client invoices or marketing projects slip through the cracks?
❌  Do you feel burnt out and even have considered looking for another career?

When is the last time you took a real vacation, one where you didn’t constantly check your email or take phone calls from clients?

I help lawyers like you transform their law practices so they can have the lives that they want, rather than their lives being forced to fit around their practices. Do you want to travel, spend more time with your family, and be there for the most important events in your kids’ lives?

I currently offer 1:1  coaching focusing on the following areas:

✅  Personal transformation
✅  Getting clients
✅  Designing your dream law practice
✅  Running a law business

Send me a direct message or email me at brad@newmodernlawyer.com to chat about how I may be able to help you build the law practice that gives you the life you want.

The LPW was designed around my experiences as a solo lawyer, and I lead each session.

Coordinator & Presenter, Legal Practice Workshop

Chair, Solo/Small Firm Practitioner Committee

Bradley Miller Public Speaker

Speaker and presenter on law practice and business law topics. I am a regular CLE speaker for Ohio attorneys. I also talk and provide legal information to small business owners.

My focus is on educating while entertaining. Traditional CLE-type presentations are normally dry lectures with bullet-filled powerpoints. I do not lecture. I create themes for each of my presentations and incorporate images, humor, and discussion as much as possible. I love the use of slides and believe they bring an additional dimension to auditory presentations, but I refuse to use bullet points.

To discuss having me present to your group, email me at brad@bradleymillerlaw.com.


Some sample topics:

Law Practice
• Starting a New Law Practice
• Insurance Needs for a Small Law Firm
• IOLTA Accounting

Law Office of Bradley W. Miller

Owner and Attorney

I never wanted to be a solo lawyer running my own law practice.

Graduating from law school and passing the bar, the job market for those without guaranteed post-graduation employment was sparse. To pay the bills, I reluctantly rented an office across the hall from a law school buddy, set up a card table, and waited for the phone to ring.

During my legal career I have been a true solo, partnered with two other lawyers, was part of one of the first virtual law firms in the country, and was Of Counsel to small business law firm.

I have had to bootstrap and learn how to both practice law and run a law business on the fly. I have seen recessions, economic booms, and pandemics.

Now, in addition to running my own law practice, I help solo and small firm lawyers transform their law practices from something that causes stress and dictates their lives, to a business that provides them with the life they want. All while being a #LawyerDad to a 7-year old.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

I offer 1:1 coaching to lawyers. I focus in the following areas:
▷ Personal transformation
▷ Law practice design
▷ Getting clients
▷ Running a law business
