MICHAEL LEROY ORLANDOLaw Firm Partner on to Start a Law Firm How

Michael LeRoy is the managing partner of Fulmer, LeRoy, and Albee, an

Orlando-based law firm that has been helping people with many complicated

legal liability issues for many years. LeRoy is licensed to practice law in both

Nebraska and Florida and has many long years of defending clients under his

belt. As he knows, however, it takes more than legal experience and a defense

prowess to start a successful firm.

HERE ARE THREE TIPS FOR STARTING A LAW FIRM THAT LEROY HAS LEARNED OVER THE YEARS OF RUNNING HIS -

Be patient with your marketing efforts. Marketing is, by its

nature, a long game. Professional marketers won’t tell you that

because they want you to buy their services immediately and

convince you that you’ll see the results quickly. It took Michael

LeRoy and his partners years in Orlando to earn the public’s trust

and see a positive effect from their online marketing efforts. Wait

it out, improve, and never stop trying to add to your marketing

efforts. Over time, they will pay off.

Take contract work, when you need it, so long as you have the legal

competency to do so. Starting any business won’t get you immediate returns

you can use to pay your monthly bills. As Michael LeRoy knows, a law firm is

no different. As you’re building your client list, fill in the gaps and keep your

lights on by taking contract work when you need to.

Be lean with your purchases. Spend your startup money smartly and ask

yourself if that fancy new computer will lead to better work and more satisfied

customers.

Michael LeRoy started a firm with other experienced lawyers in Orlando only after

he had a plan in place and he knew at least the basics of business.
