Hey there, I’m Ernie Svenson, the founder of this website.
If you don’t know anything about me, here’s the short story…
I used to practice law the “traditional way,” handling complex business litigation cases (i.e. many boxes of paper organized by lots of staff members).
But then I learned how to create a 100% paperless, highly automated law practice. One that was financially rewarding and personally fulfilling (i.e. low-overhead, low-stress, with more freedom).
Now I help lawyers who want to do the same for their practices.
Full Background
Read on if you want the slightly longer version of my story.
Revelation
My radical transformation began with this discovery…
Using nothing more than a laptop and a smartphone I could handle complex litigation cases completely by myself, and do so at a much lower cost.
So, in 2006, I gave up my lucrative partnership in a stodgy big firm to start a Ninja-efficient solo practice. I was eager to break out of the traditional mold and it worked out nicely.
A Dream Come True
Getting new clients was easy and inexpensive: my main marketing tool was a simple website that cost less than $100.
And, because my overhead was ridiculously low, I was able to earn a good living without working crazy hours.
Other Lawyers Noticed
Other lawyers asked me to help them improve their practices (mostly solos and small firm lawyers). I enjoyed doing this and so, eventually, it became my full-time mission.
The ABA asked me to write some books to help lawyers improve their use of technology. And I was invited to speak at conferences around the country, where I offered my best advice to thousands of lawyers.
In 2018, the ABA presented me with their Solo and Small Firm Trainer Award, BUT…
My greatest satisfaction came from seeing lawyers I helped feel deep joy —something they never thought was possible.
