Nick Schnyder spent his first years as a lawyer fighting to try a single jury trial and getting told no every time. So he quit.
His wife had just left her job when their son was born. He started with zero clients out of a spare bedroom, but cold emaied every lawyer in a ten mile radius asking them to send him their worst cases.
But that was 10 years ago. Now he runs his Atlanta litigation firm with 11 lawyers and 60 employees.
In this episode of The Fireproof Podcast, we covered:
→ Starting a firm with zero clients and no advertising budget
→ Building a marketing mix of billboards, digital, and Hispanic radio
→ The $22 million verdict and the client who turned down a million
→ Handing trials off to his team without losing his mind
→ Why the most successful trial lawyers are the ones most willing to teach
Thanks to Nick for making the trip out to Austin to join us on The Fireproof Podcast at the Fireproof Conference!
