The Problem You're Facing
You're getting consultations. You're demonstrating your legal expertise. You're spending 45 minutes listening to custody concerns, answering divorce questions, and explaining the process professionally.
Then they thank you for your time and hire someone else.
Not because you're less qualified. Not because you explained things poorly. But because of three specific mistakes you're making without realizing it—mistakes that kill trust, diminish value, and position you as just another option instead of the obvious choice.
What's Actually at Stake
If you're converting 40-50% of family law consultations when you could be converting 70%, you're leaving $100,000-$200,000 on the table annually. That's not a marketing problem. That's a consultation conversion problem.
Before you invest more in lead generation, fix the leak that's costing you clients you've already attracted.
What You'll Discover Inside
This guide reveals the consultation frameworks I developed building a three-location family law practice—and now teach to attorneys who want to stop losing prospects during the intake process.
You'll learn:
The Three Fatal Mistakes
Why starting with your credentials, giving away your strategy for free, and discussing fees too early kills more consultations than any other factors combined.
The Family Law Opening Script
The exact framework for the first three minutes that builds trust immediately and positions you as a trusted advisor instead of just another attorney they're interviewing.
The Strategic Response Framework
How to demonstrate your expertise without giving away free consulting—showing you can solve their problem without telling them exactly how.
The Fee Discussion Method
When and how to present your retainer so prospects hear your investment in the context of what's at stake, not compared to other attorneys' lowball quotes.
The Complete Consultation Blueprint
Phase-by-phase breakdown of what to do (and what to avoid) from greeting through closing, including specific scripts and timing for family law consultations.
The 30-Day Action Plan
Practical implementation roadmap to transform your consultation process systematically without overwhelming your schedule.

What Makes This Different
This isn't generic sales training adapted for lawyers. This is consultation conversion methodology developed by a former family law attorney who made these mistakes, discovered what actually works, and now helps attorneys implement systems that respect professional standards while improving business results.
No pressure tactics. No "closing techniques" that feel manipulative. Just strategic frameworks for structuring conversations that guide prospects toward confident decisions.
The Outcome You Can Expect
Attorneys who implement these three changes typically see:
Consultation conversion improvement from 40% to 65-70% within 60-90 days
Decreased fee objections and price shopping
More confident retainer discussions
Better-fit clients who value expertise over low fees
Revenue increase of $24,000+ annually from the same number of consultations
