The perception of attorneys by the general public is not great. Decades of movies, TV shows and books have portrayed members of the Bar as greedy, rich and focused on fleecing their clients at every opportunity.
This is not the reality. But for many in the general public, the stereotype is deeply ingrained.
So with the recent moves in California and other states to allow Paraprofessionals - Legal Document Assistants and Paralegals - to give legal advice and appear in court at the table next to the litigant, attorneys need to take back the narrative if they are to succeed in a increasingly crowded marketplace - where the competitors will always be able to win on price.
In this 45 to 60 minute breakout session Judith Weigle shows attorneys how to promote their businesses by focusing on the fiduciary side of attorney-client relationships.
