I worked with Larry Bodine for about 10 months, during which time I learned a tremendous amount about developing business as an attorney. I became much more focused, emphasizing a specialized area of my practice (civil appeals), and becoming more widely known as an expert in that area. I put on a highly successful and well-received webinar under Larry's guidance, that brought me significant additional recognition as an appellate lawyer. I was beginning to get calls referring files to me in my area of specialization, indicating the success of the guidance Larry was providing.
My coaching calls with him were useful to get my attention directed in productive ways. There was no question for which Larry didn't have some helpful answer. I was in the process of planning the exciting next phase of my marketing program when I received an appointment to the bench, and one of my regrets is that I am not going to be able to follow through with Larry's advice and continue to build my practice. --Thadd Blizzard, Esq., Partner, Weintraub Genshlea Chediak.
"I just wanted to thank you again for making the rollout of this program a success. I am very optimistic that we can make a difference in the generation of business with these partners, if we can give them the proper tools and support." -- Darcy Diaz, Client Services Director, Ropers Majeski Kohn & Bentley
