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.

"The amount of information we are bombarded with daily regarding technology can be overwhelming. I really needed guidance from folks whom I trust and who have experience to tell me what has worked for them and what hasn’t. Ernie does a fine job of identifying how to start putting a toe into the technology water…Really, this course has opened up new windows on the world of running a legal practice more effectively and efficiently.”

I have known Ernie since we represented co-defendants in a class action case filed in New Orleans. He was, and is, one of the smartest guys in any room he occupies. Since I've known him, he's become something of a technology evangelist, as demonstrated by the always fascinating content on his frequently updated blog.

As Vice-Chair of the Indiana State Bar Association Solo Small Firm Conference, I had the pleasure of asking Ernie to give the Keynote Address at our Conference in June, 2012. Having seen "Ernie the Attorney" several times as a speaker at ABA TECHCHOW, it did not surprise me that Ernie gave one of the most compelling presentations I have ever seen, giving his viewpoint on the advantages of the solo practice of law. The audience was equally appreciative, and gave Ernie one of the highest speaker ratings given to a presenter in the history of the Conference. I would highly recommend Ernie as a speaker and cannot wait to have him return.

It is rare to find someone who is truly an expert at something, and is also great at presenting their expertise. Ernie is both.

As Conference Chair for the recent Solo & Small Firm Technology Conference at The Florida Bar Winter Meeting, I was thrilled with the service that Ernie provided me and all of the conference attendees. From assisting with planning the conference and speaking during numerous segments during the conference, Ernie has proven himself to be a fantastic resource for all things technology based as they relate to the practice of law. He is a dynamic speaker who really really knows his stuff!

I have known Ernie for a number of years as a member of the Law Practice Division of the American Bar Association and worked with him in his speaking and writing capacity - helping lawyers become better lawyers. Ernie is a terrific writer and speaker and I would endorse him and give him high marks in both areas.

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've known Ernie Svenson for two decades. He pioneered paperless practice for lawyers and influenced my thinking when I left BigLaw to start my own firm. Ernie always has his eye on how lawyers can use technology to improve their practices and lives.

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.
