Billie Tarascio | Keys to Law Firm Growth Success: Audacity, Optimism and Pushing Boundaries

<p>Our guest on this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is Billie Tarascio. She is the founder and owner of Modern Law and Access Legal. As a family law and divorce attorney, Billie sought to develop a certified legal document preparation and technology company dedicated to increasing access to justice. She is also a national speaker and author of the books <em>Decode Your Divorce</em> and <em>Tiger Tactics: Winning Strategies for Building Law Firms</em>. </p><p><br>Billie says, “I wanted to be able to offer low-cost legal services and forward-facing legal documents that could be automated and customized. So, the sister company, I Do Over, is run by certified legal document preparers, which are paralegals that help people do their documents and get everything filed. It was a workaround, I had to open up two companies and set up walls and have the right contracts in order to offer this business model (in addition to the more traditional law practice).”</p><p><br>We chat about Billie’s experience in opening a law firm in Arizona almost as soon as she moved there, the challenges she’s faced in growing her practice and starting its sister company, plus:</p><ul> <li>The mistakes and lessons she’s learned hiring and managing a team of employees</li> <li> How delegating tasks and empowering others was the best decision in her growth journey</li> <li>Why her “law firm constitution” has been such a powerful tool</li> <li>How learning and adopting the Net Promoter Score catapulted her firm to success (and provided tremendous insight into her clients)</li> <li>And much more</li> </ul>
