How to Become a Rock Star Lawyer - The Ethical Way
AND
The Fear Factor - How Good Lawyers Get Into Bad Trouble
Featuring Nationally Known Speaker Stuart Teicher, Esq.
Program Description
Every lawyer wants to have a great career, but only a few can transcend modest success and become a "rock-star lawyer." In this program, Stuart Teicher explains how you can rise to the top by following a new paradigm he calls, "Ethically Inspired Marketing," a concept based firmly in the rules of professional conduct. Since every push toward greatness has its limitation, Stuart will also educate us about the boundaries of chasing success by evaluating the ethical and professional missteps of the original rock start lawyer, F. Lee Bailey.
The scariest stories are those tales where responsible lawyers who care about acting in an appropriate manner get into disciplinary trouble. In this program, we learn about the common missteps that are made by otherwise responsible attorneys. After hearing this program you'll embark upon your career as a safer, stronger attorney.
