Her law firm, Kelly Longtin Law, focuses on helping everyday families develop an estate plan that plans for and protects their families when they are no longer able to do so themselves, protecting them from the devastating effects of disability and death, and developing a plan that minimizes taxes, expenses, and court involvement.Listen in as we discuss:Kelly’s journey from gym owner to lawyer and law firm ownerWhy she chose to leave her first law firm partnership and go soloHow being an entrepreneur before becoming a law firm owner helped her grow her practice more quicklyThe reason she did not take on any clients her first month in solo practiceHow she’s built her strong referral networkHer interview secrets to hiring loyal, competent team membersWhat she says to prospects who don’t want to follow her processesWhy she wrote her book, Ladies’ Legacies and how it’s helped her grow her referral networkWhy estate planning is different (and maybe even more important) for women than menWhy she never feels fear when hiring lawyers or other staffHer advice for other women law firm owners on a similar journey to scaling their businessesAnd much more!Links to Love:***If you want to know more about Kelly Longtin and Kelly Longtin Law, please visit their website at  www.kellylongtinlaw.com or follow on Instagram @kellytlaw.If you are interested in support to grow your law firm business: ***Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.***Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.com***Please Leave a Review and Share.
