Richard James has helped small law firm owners escape chaos and build thriving, profitable practices for more than 20 years.
He believes that when your law firm runs on clear operations, marketing, and sales systems, success stops being a gamble… it becomes inevitable.
He took a law firm from $0 to $3.5 million in just 2.5 years. That win led him to create a proven framework for law firm growth and since then, has helped 1000+ attorneys transform their practices into predictable, profitable businesses that support their lifestyle instead of draining it.
Not a theorist. Not a “quick-fix” coach. But a builder who delivers measurable results. His goal is simple: to arm entrepreneurial attorneys with the tools, systems, and accountability they need to achieve freedom… financial freedom, time freedom, and the freedom to enjoy life again.
He values God, family, friends, and building a business that works to provide freedom. Ready to build the practice of your dreams? Let’s talk.
RMichael Patrick Strauch is a Legal Sales Expert that exclusively works with law firms on optimizing their sales process and close rate. Over the last 5 years, MPS has helped his clients generate north of $20M in additional revenue as a result of optimizing their sales process.
Michael wanted to prove that someone who never worked in a law firm could come in and optimize the sales process. So, he decided to go into a firm that gave him an opportunity to prove his salt. They gave MPS 90 days to see if his structure could outperform theirs. When he first arrived, that firm was closing 50% of their qualified leads into paying clients. At the end of 90 days, they were consistently closing at 84% and collecting more cash than ever before.
From that point, MPS launched a beta group with a few select firms that started with an average close rate of 33% and within one month, they were consistently closing between 65-70%.
Through proving the model, Michael then launched what is now The Closing Room. He has had the opportunity to serve many law firm owners across 15+ practice areas, each seeing a tremendous success in the program.
