About Nicole Barnett

Building an 8-figure firm taught me more than any other experience, but I also have a background in visual communications, graphic design, and photography. I\'ve taken my passion for design and my love of a process-driven law firm and created done-for-you tools to help lawyers grow their revenue and land more clients. Balance, financial freedom, and flexibility ARE all attainable as a lawyer.When starting Law Prophet, my goal was to create products that make attorneys\' lives easier and less complicated. I\'m married to a trial lawyer, and I know he has room for NOTHING else on his plate. He isn\'t sitting down and learning how to be better at marketing, and he\'s never going to create an intake process that helps us land more of the leads that come in. That\'s not what he gets paid to do, and it\'s not what he should be spending his time on.I spend my days running an 8-figure law firm (Case Barnett Law) and creating done-for-you marketing solutions for lawyers in private practice (Law Prophet).When we launched our injury firm in 2015, there were no resources. I had to learn everything, from trust accounting to the litigation process. I built our firm piece by piece from the ground up. Since we started our firm, many businesses have entered the legal space. They claim to provide \"marketing solutions\" or \"lead generation\" for lawyers, but all of them are frustratingly terrible! I know because I tried to work with dozens of these companies to save myself time. It was always a colossal waste of money. These companies fail because they are run by people who aren\'t working in the legal space. They don\'t understand the ins and outs of running a law firm, and they don\'t grasp the complexities of litigation. They can\'t create effective marketing because they don\'t understand the service they\'re selling. Even if you find a company with some grasp of the legal business model, they charge thousands of dollars to deliver mediocre results. I learned that the legal industry is full of snake-oil salespeople. So I ended up putting my nose down and creating everything our firm needed on my own. After eight years of building document templates, processes, systems, guides, handbooks, marketing content, and procedures for our firm, I realized that lawyers NEED these things. So why not share all of my hard work with the world?
