  • Before They Sue: How Smart Firms Avoid Malpractice with Brad Wiewel | Ep: 161

    Before They Sue: How Smart Firms Avoid Malpractice with Brad Wiewel | Ep: 161
    Dec 8 2025
    On this week's episode of Great Practice, Great Life, you're in for a ride. Steve Riley sits down with attorney Brad Wiewel, whose career took a wild turn in 1979 when a client's husband fired a bullet into Brad's car because Brad was fighting too hard in a divorce case involving a stripper. That single ka-pow moment launched Brad's 45-year obsession with what he calls Defensive Law; a proactive, slightly paranoid, and incredibly effective system for protecting yourself, your team, and your license when clients lie, forget, or turn on you. This is hands down the most practical malpractice-prevention episode we've recorded, and it applies to every practice area: PI, family, estate planning, elder law, business—all of it. Brad walks through the exact tools that have kept him grievance-free and malpractice-suit-free for more than four decades. You'll hear about the bulletproof fee agreements packed with bold disclaimers, including the now famous "we can fire you for personality conflicts" clause he makes clients read aloud. You'll learn why every third party, kids, financial advisors, new spouses, sign a non-representation letter the second they enter the room. He shares his library of 100+ one-page "Against My Advice" disclosures clients sign when they insist on risky decisions, the settlement confirmation letter every PI lawyer should require before accepting a dime, and how he turns high-risk fact patterns into written client admissions that stop surprises in court or in front of the bar. And yes, he reveals his dead-simple signing ceremony protocol: hand clients the stack, leave the room for 15 minutes, come back to flawless signatures. No drama. No complaints. No gaps. Brad doesn't deal in theory; he built one of the largest estate planning practices in Texas on these systems. He credits them for never having a single successful grievance or malpractice claim in 45 years. If you've ever lost sleep wondering, "Did I document that conversation well enough?" or heard a former client shout, "You never told me that!", this episode gives you the exact playbook to make those nightmares disappear. Fair warning: After this conversation, you'll never look at a client the same way again. (You'll see every single one as a potential plaintiff, and you'll sleep like a baby because your files will finally be bulletproof.) In this episode, you will hear: The wild "stripper and the bullet" story that birthed Defensive LawWhy every client is a potential plaintiff (and how to sleep anyway)The 5 documents that have kept Brad 45 years grievance-freeFee-agreement clauses that kill most problems on day oneThe 60-second fix when kids or advisors sit in your meeting100+ one-page "I'm doing this against your advice" disclosuresThe settlement letter every PI lawyer must get signedHow to make clients admit the real facts — in writingThe signing-room trick that makes clients happily sign everythingAn instant checklist to make your entire practice bulletproof Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

    From Burnout to 200 Days Off: How Kent Berk Rebuilt His Firm to Run Without Him | Ep. 160
    Dec 1 2025
    Time management for lawyers isn't just a productivity hack, it's the key to freedom. What if you could take around 200 days off a year without your firm collapsing, and actually increase law firm profitability in the process? That's exactly what Arizona probate, trust, and estate litigator Attorney Kent Berk has pulled off. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life., Kent joins Steve to share how he went from overwhelmed and burned out, ready to walk away from his law practice, to leading a focused, profitable firm built on smart law firm business strategy and intentional law firm leadership. You'll hear how coaching, accountability, and a handful of mindset shifts helped him protect his time, reduce stress, and drive serious law firm growth. Steve and Kent break down the operational side of that transformation: revamping human resources, tightening law firm hiring practices, building an in-house training engine with AI-driven modules and real assessments, and aligning compensation with clear KPIs. With support from Practice Advisor Daniel Struna and the Atticus team, Kent redesigned his law firm operations so his team can train, make decisions, and move cases forward even when he's not in the office. From rethinking compensation structures and productivity metrics to embracing healthy conflict as a leadership tool, Kent's story is a practical blueprint for attorneys who want to step into a more intentional role, whether that's CEO, marketing director, or true firm leader. He shows how grit, clarity, boundaries, and a strong law firm culture can lead to exceptional client experiences and a life you actually enjoy. Whether you're overwhelmed or simply ready for your practice to support a better life, this episode delivers concrete strategies for attorney success, healthier law firm management, and meaningful, sustainable change.

  • From Failing Everywhere to Focused: How to Cut, Protect, and Refocus Fast | Ep. 159

    From Failing Everywhere to Focused: How to Cut, Protect, and Refocus Fast | Ep. 159
    Nov 24 2025
    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley breaks down one of the toughest challenges in law firm leadership: the feeling that you're failing when life and work start to pile up. Using the story of Kay, a team leader pushed to her limits, Steve explains why overwhelm is rarely a personal flaw and more often a sign that your systems, habits, or support structures need to evolve. Steve reframes failure as feedback, the kind that helps attorneys recognize when they've outgrown the strategies that once worked. For anyone juggling client demands, running a practice, or navigating the pressures of law firm management, this perspective shift is a breath of fresh air. To help legal professionals regain clarity, Steve shares the CPR approach: Cut, Protect, and Refocus. By cutting unnecessary commitments, protecting essentials like sleep and focus, and reviving the priorities that matter most, attorneys can reduce stress and strengthen time management for lawyers without sacrificing performance. Drawing on insights often found in law firm business coaching, Steve illustrates how even a thriving attorney can outgrow their current "container," much like a Bonsai pushing past the limits of its pot. When that happens, the discomfort is a sign of growth, not failure. This episode offers simple, actionable steps that help lawyers reclaim control, reset expectations, and build momentum toward a healthier practice and a more grounded life. In this episode, you will hear: Transforming failure into a tool for growth and success Reframing failure as feedback, not personal inadequacy The CPR technique: Cut, Protect, and Refocus Kay's story, a team leader overwhelmed by life's demands Importance of pruning unnecessary commitments for personal growth Emphasizing sleep and focus to manage life's challenges Encouragement to make intentional choices for a balanced life Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

    Nov 17 2025

    Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicide and mental health. If you or someone you know needs support in the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, appellate attorney and Florida Bar leader Robin Bresky joins host Steve Riley for a candid and deeply human conversation about building a thriving law practice and a meaningful life after unimaginable loss.

She shares how she grew from running a solo home office to leading a seven-lawyer appellate firm and eventually merging with a New York powerhouse.

In 2018, she founded the Attorney Wellness Exchange, which has helped countless professionals make wellness a priority. She discusses how physical fitness, mindfulness, and self-care can sustain emotional well-being in high-pressure careers and why checking in with struggling colleagues can truly save lives.

    This episode is about more than overcoming tragedy. It is a masterclass in transforming pain into purpose. Robin reminds us that community builds referrals, wellness builds strength, and courage builds a life worth living.

    If you or someone you know is struggling, call 988 (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline).

  • Bold Moves and Better Margins with Lauren Presser on Courage and Team Investment in Law Firm Growth | Ep. 156

    Bold Moves and Better Margins with Lauren Presser on Courage and Team Investment in Law Firm Growth | Ep. 156
    Nov 3 2025
    What if you could transform a legacy law firm while staying true to your personal goals? In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, attorney Lauren Presser reveals the law firm growth strategies that transformed her practice, creating clarity, balance, and sustainable growth. After buying out her uncle's 50-year-old family firm in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Lauren partnered with Atticus to modernize every part of her practice. The result was a 35% increase in revenue within one year, without sacrificing her family time or her sanity. This is a compelling narrative of courage, mentorship, and strategic innovation in a traditionally static industry. Lauren's transformation began with a clear why: she wanted to be fully present for her children while leading a thriving practice. Every change she made flowed from that intention. With coaching and focus, she trained her legal assistants to lead initial consultations, replaced discounts with fixed-fee packages, and introduced structured scheduling: no walk-ins, time templates, and set client touchpoints. Lauren's story is a masterclass in law firm growth strategies that actually work. Her firm's culture evolved too. Lauren implemented a simple bonus structure built around three measurable KPIs, aligning her team and inspiring accountability. The result was a calm, collaborative environment where everyone knew what success looked like. Lauren's story proves that growth doesn't require burnout. By setting boundaries, empowering her team, and leading with purpose, she built a profitable firm that supports her life instead of consuming it. Her journey is a powerful example of what's possible when you pair intentional leadership with practical systems and a reminder that success at work means little if you miss the moments that matter most at home. In this episode, you will hear: Lauren Presser's transformation from associate to principal owner of a 50-year-old law firmStrategies for achieving a 35% revenue increase while maintaining work-life balanceImplementation of fixed pricing models and bonus structures based on key performance indicatorsOvercoming challenges in a family-run firm and navigating systemic changes with the help of mentorshipStrategic moves, such as relocating to a larger office space to accommodate a growing teamImportance of setting boundaries to ensure personal well-being and professional successEmpowering non-lawyers to conduct initial consultations and the benefits of adopting innovative business practices Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.
