In this world of constant overload, it's a breath of fresh air to have a knowledgeable person like Ernie take the time to discover (and test) a large portion of the technology tools out there and then share his insights —providing GUIDANCE as to what they do and don't do.

Ernie is one of the few voices I find consistently helpful because he provides practical, current advice and roadmaps based on decades of experience with the practice of law and the business of running a practice, including technology and systems.”

I’ve done the Systems Program twice now and recommend it to any attorney who is REALLY interested in doing the work to improve their practice. This is not a one-time thing that you do; it is a framework for intentionally improving your practice over time.
When I used to think about systems, I felt completely overwhelmed. I had no idea where to start and felt so behind.
But now I think of systems as a way of capturing things that I do more than once so I don't have to recreate the will everytime. The goal is to get them to a place where I can pass them along to someone else to do, but baby steps. And I've realized that you don't just take the systems course and you're done.
This is a continual process of doing the thing, reflecting on how it worked, and then improving or trying something else if it didn't work the way I wanted it to.

I teach a legal informatics course at Indiana University. The resources & information I harvest from Ernie's programs are indispensable. They cover a wide range of timely and essential, informative topics.

When my company was looking for a presenter for a webinar on paperless lawyering, Ernie's was the only name I considered.
A successful lawyer in his own right, Ernie's greatest skill is in teaching other attorneys how to use the efficient techniques that he has developed. Ernie brings good humor and an engaging affability to every presentation he gives and is always thoughtful and professional. He's sensitive to deadlines, prepares well, can adjust to technical difficulties, and is undoubtedly one of the best legal presenters in the United States.

Thank you, Ernie, for the great phone call. It's clear that you really care about helping lawyers, and not about the money you might be able to make.
