"Lauren is a go-getter. I have seen her rise from being a broke lawyer to a six-figure earner. This book is a guide that is created from her charging down this path and forging her own way forward. She has laid out each and every step for you so that you can skip the figuring out part of how to run a business and jump straight ahead to earning a great living and doing life-changing work." - From the Foreword by Ally Lozano, Esq., Law Firm Business Consultant

Lauren Eagan has done everything she writes about, and with her guidance you can begin with a strong foundation to make sure everything is in place to make your firm last.

Starting in a new city with student loan debt, Lauren Eagan explains how she effectively built her business. She explains how you, too, can take advantages of resources you might not have known were available, such as free and low-cost technology solutions, online resources, and leveraging the skills of your friends, family, and mentors.

More than anything, starting your practice depends on your own hard work, research, and decision process all dedicated to achieving your goal. Following the book''s path towards opening your own practice, Lauren Eagan explains these key ingredients in the mix:

Doing the necessary work while getting started: contract work, document review, and more
Adding a business focus to how you think: goal setting, choosing a business entity, bank accounts, insurance and taxes
Make your firm seem established: names, logos, office space, and online communications
Determine a target market and get clients: from networking to volunteering and giving presentations to the importance of social media
Case management: software and systems
How to get paid: fee arrangements, invoices, and how to follow up
Planning in time for you: vacations, weekends, and adding efficiency
Know when you''re ready to grow: outsourcing, delegating, and hiring
And finally, What to do when you're ready to start: create a business plan

Chapters are accessible and encouraging, tackling topics that can be overwhelming in a constructive, step-by-step manner. Throughout, the author has shared checklists, flow charts, plenty of real-world tips that she used in setting up her successful law firm, and a chapter checklist to capture the core information by topic.

Lauren A. Eagan, Esq. is an award-winning immigration attorney with multiple offices across the United States. Ms. Eagan attended the University of San Diego School of Law, graduating in 2011. After passing the California Bar Exam, she worked as an associate attorney at private immigration law firms in San Diego, California. As an associate attorney, she exclusively handled immigration law cases, with a focus on deportation defense and humanitarian cases. In October 2014, she left San Diego and moved to Washington, DC.

Ms. Eagan opened her firm, Eagan Immigration PLLC, in late 2014, two weeks after moving to Washington, DC. At that time, she did not have any clients and had spoken to only a handful of attorneys in the area. She truly started her firm from nothing.

Over time, and with much hard work, her firm has grown significantly. After only two years, Ms. Eagan opened a second office in Virginia. In 2017, she opened a third office in Washington State.

Ms. Eagan firmly believes that all attorneys have what it takes to create their perfect law firmone that will allow them to practice the type of law they love, enjoy flexibility and work-life balance, and earn a very comfortable income. All it takes is creativity, strategy, and diligence. Ms. Eagan enjoys encouraging law firm owners from the moment they start thinking about opening a law firm until years after they take the leap.

In addition to constantly working on growing and perfecting her law practice, Ms. Eagan spends plenty of time enjoying life. She loves to travel with her husband and toddler, and has visited more than 20 countries and nearly every continent. Ms. Eagan also enjoys spending time outdoors, and especially loves rock climbing and kayaking.

And on cold, winter days you can find her baking with her kiddo or trying a new restaurant with her husband. She rarely works nights or weekends. Ms. Eagan practices what she preaches and always makes sure she has a good balance between her time at the office and her real life. After all, what good is all that hard work if you can't enjoy it?
