“I have been practicing law for nearly 43 years— long enough to recognize the real deal. Ernie is the real deal.”

Ernie is a top-notch presenter on a variety of law firm management issues, but evinces a particular expertise on the subject of the paperless law office. When my company was looking for a presenter on that topic for a webinar to be broadcast online and for our holiday party, Ernie's was the only name I considered. A successful lawyer in his own right, perhaps 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 is sensitive to deadlines, prepares himself well and can adjust to technical difficulties and unexpected hiccups. Ernie the Attorney is, without a doubt, one of the top continuing legal education presenters in the United States.

“Ernie provides practical insight into how to take your law practice to the next level. He provides both the high level perspective that helps you see the bigger picture, and the simple action steps to help you create the practice you want.”

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.

"You are showing lawyers how to transform small-firm practices in a way I don’t see anyone else being able to do.”

I’ve taken the Systems Workshop twice now and would recommend 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.

Thanks for recommending Sanebox. I had to try it – especially since I have been losing badly lately in the battle of the inbox. It works pretty simply. And I now have less panic when glancing at my Outlook.

I've been given concrete steps to improve my practice. All of it is very doable, and it never feels like too much.

"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.”

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!

"When I got sick recently, my team was able to follow our systems to bring in four new matters, and get court filings done, all in my absence. I really appreciate all that I learned in this program."

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.
David A. Hoyt
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.”
Kelly G. Richardson, Esq.CCAL
Partner at Richardson Ober LLP
It is rare to find someone who is truly an expert at something, and is also great at presenting their expertise. Ernie is both.
"I found information about how to improve my practice from marketing to intake to core foundation values. The course was so much more than just technology. Today my office has gone paperless and it is much thanks to this program for helping me through that process. I highly recommend the program and Ernie Svenson."

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.

I can't say thank you enough for what Ernie has done for my practice. I'm a solo attorney and I was truly stuck in the mud. My practice just stagnated year after year even though I worked so hard. It wasn't until I started working with Ernie that things began to change for me, both personally and professionally. I got clear on my values, what really matters to me and what doesn't. Those realizations alone were such a gift. Working with Ernie has allowed me to become the attorney that I've always wanted to be for myself and for my clients. It takes time, but it's worth every minute of effort!
