Free Webinar: Navigating Client Relationships: Boundaries & Best Practices in Family Law

November 12, 2024 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Free event! Presented by Smokeball

Family law can be extremely rewarding yet entirely unforgiving, depending on what type of client happens to walk through your door. In addition to being a stressful and anxiety-riddled and hectic field, family law also often robs us of our own well-being as attorneys.  Sometimes, having empathy in our field works a disservice for us, which is why so many in our area of law become burnt out and seek to pivot from family law altogether. But, there are ways to mitigate this and makes things easier on yourself and your staff!

Not only do we have to deal with emotionally-devastating cases, but we also have to contend with difficult clients. A failure to communicate is the number one grievance cited in bar complaints across the country. But, with the use of email and text messaging, attorneys are more responsive than they’ve ever been. So, what gives?

In this MCLE session, family law attorney Jordan Turk will present an overview of client communication basics, including intake, duties owed to your client, and how technology can help you foster a stronger client relationship. She will also cover common pitfalls that family law attorneys in particular experience and how you can take steps to avoid landing in questionable, ethical situations. You will learn how to set boundaries and stick to them, while still forging strong relationships with your clients.

In this session, Jordan will cover:

  • Ways to prevent or mitigate common grievances filed against family law attorneys
  • How you can use legal technology to make clients happier
  • Developing strategies for handling difficult clients and situations
  • How to properly handle disputes with clients and get a better work-life balance

Plus, learn how you can redeem your 10% discount on new Smokeball subscriptions through our partnership with CalBar Connect! Don’t miss this chance to streamline your legal practice and participate in a live Q&A with Smokeball experts ready to answer all of your questions.

Jordan Turk, Attorney

Jordan is a practicing attorney in Texas, and the Legal Technology Advisor at Smokeball. Her family law expertise includes complex property division and contentious custody cases, as well as appeals and prenuptial agreements. In addition to her family law practice, she’s passionate about legal technology and how it can revolutionize law firms.

Jordan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Classics, History, and Religious Studies and then went on to attend the University of Arkansas School of Law to earn her J.D. After almost four years of practice with a high-asset family law firm in Houston (and after being frustrated at the lack of automation in her firm), she discovered the world of legal technology which ultimately brought her to Smokeball.

In Hacking Law Firm Success with Jordan Turk, she interviews law firm founders about how they grew and scaled their practices, as well as their ethos behind managing a firm.
