Iheard a statistic the other day that just blew my mind.

Would you believe that 54% of grievances filed against lawyers are causedby management mistakes in the law office?

That’s right, more than half the bar grievancesfiled!

When my friend (and affiliate) attorney Rjon Robins passed that bit ofinformation on to me, I was amazed.

RJon recently did a survey of lawyers who had either recently started their own lawbusiness or were seriously thinking about it. What he found out makesit a little easier to understand why that percentage is so high!

Even after law school, CLE programs and all the other informationavailable to them, he found that many of the lawyers he surveyed have neverreceived any formal training on how to set up and manage their trustaccounts.

Long story short, after he saw the results of his survey, RJon wasconcerned enough to produce a free resource to help lawyers learn what hecalls his “SimpleSystem for Managing a Law Firm Trust Account That WON’T Make You Feel Like ASchmuck.”

Is that a great title or what?

And even better, it’s a simple, easy to follow system that could very wellkeep you out of the clutches of the Grievance Committee. That alonemakes the program worth its weight in gold…

Nowfor another great piece of news – Rjon’s video is free, for a very limitedtime. Believe me, you need to bookmark this link and watch the video now:https://education.infusionsoft.com/go/IOLTA/alexis
