Attorney Coach Roy Ginsburg - Lawyer Coach

"In this economy, all bets are off about long term career plans of partners in large law firms. A respectable book of business today for my firm's leaders, may not be respectable tomorrow.  I hired Roy to obtain some candid and objective advice about how to be more proactive about my future.  He asked some really tough questions that forced me to take a deep look into my professional and personal life in ways that I had never done before. I am now very confident that I can react to the uncertainties inherent to today's large law firms in a manner that is productive and consistent with my values."

"I’ve been a commercial litigator for almost twenty years. I hired Roy to help me diversify my caseload. He opened my eyes to realistic possibilities that interested me that I had not seriously thought of before and provided the roadmap to explore them. All of his advice was candid, practical and useful."

"When I hired Roy, I was miserable practicing as a partner in a small firm that in my view operated in a very dysfunctional manner. My gut told me that I should go out on my own, but just couldn't pull the trigger. After thorough discussions with Roy about my old firm and what my practice would look like as a solo, I gained the confidence to finally pull the trigger. Boy; and am I glad I did. I've never been happier practicing law and am making more money than ever. Roy's assistance was pivotal."

"I'm a junior partner at a large firm. I have finally cracked six figures in bringing in revenue, but I have a long way to go to build it to the size that I want. I'm also unsure whether private practice is what I want to do for the rest of my career and wonder whether I'm more suited for an in-house counsel role. Roy has been able to provide me with the insight I needed to get an excellent idea about the efforts that it will take to significantly increase my book of business, or alternatively, how to secure an in-house job. He knows both worlds well and has been a great sounding board."

"I am the general counsel for a high tech company in the Twin Cities. I've learned that in order to be successful as an in-house attorney, it takes more than simply doing quality legal work. Oftentimes, my biggest challenges are managing the relationships and expectations of my internal clients. Since Roy used to work in-house himself, he is familiar with many of the frustrations I face. His advice regarding these issues is always sound, practical and realistic."

"For a variety of reasons, I recently left a large law firm practice as a partner to consider an alternative career. Roy was very creative, insightful and a tremendous resource for me as we evaluated the options together. One thing I knew I wanted was a career that was still connected to the legal profession. Given Roy's unique background as a lawyer, he was very familiar with those possibilities and had an excellent sense of how realistic those opportunities would be for me. His help and support was invaluable."

"After more than 28 years as a litigator and 23 years as a combination litigator-ADR neutral, I decided to switch my practice to mediation, arbitration, and other ADR neutral models. Roy effectively helped me evaluate my expectations regarding the shift in my practice and gave me sound advice about how to make the transition."
