“When I first considered participating in the Crisp coaching program, I initially pushed back. I was happy not getting too involved in the business and enjoyed the practice of law. It was only a few years ago when I transitioned to becoming a solo practitioner that I realized I needed help understanding the nuances of operating a law firm. I needed to learn how to work “on” the business. 

The Crisp Coach program allowed me to focus on the details of my practice including improving our firm processes and setting short and long-term goals.  The most important thing I have learned from my Crisp coaching team centers around accountability. The support I now have to build the vision for my law firm is beyond what I could have imagined.  My firm has developed an exciting team culture, we have expanded the volume of quality intake of new cases, revenue has noticeably and steadily increased, and our reputation and visibility in the community has skyrocketed.

The Crisp coaching program has profoundly impacted me as a law firm owner.  The guidance provided by the team at Crisp has helped me to commit to a vision for my firm that has not only made me a better law firm owner but a better person. The focus on accountability has put me in the best position to lead the firm and to hire people in the best position to succeed. And as a result, we have continuously been able to obtain the best results for our clients.

I am glad I had the courage to take the leap and allow myself to be coached. Watching a recent documentary featuring Michael Jordan in The Last Dance – I recall a quote that stuck with me that applies here: ‘A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness.’  Crisp Coach is that guide for you and your law firm.”

“From the time I struck out on my own to start my own firm more than a decade ago, I’d read books and blogs and listen to podcasts and attend law firm management CLEs but the advice was mostly overwhelming. Working with a coach through Crisp has helped narrow my focus to the most impactful agenda items.

Even when the suggestions have been thoroughly outside my comfort zone, I have tried to approach everything with a willingness to try and found that almost everything has worked (and what has not worked at first has been a springboard to new ideas).

Through the process, I’ve been able to honestly evaluate what is and isn’t working and greatly improve in all areas, particularly culture and hiring and marketing. 2021 was our best financial year ever and I am looking forward to even greater success in all areas in 2022.”
