Legal Marketing Solutions for Lawyers, By Lawyers - Jordan Ostroff - S6E22

This week we're super excited to be chatting with Jordan Ostroff , who is a creative businessman who serves as a President of LegalEase Marketing , a Managing Partner of Jordan Law FI, and a board member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida. Even though he had no idea what becoming a lawyer entailed, he had known from a young age that he wanted to be one. He started participating in national trial competitions while still in college, where he won awards as an attorney for fictitious cases. After graduating from law school, he began working for the State Attorney's Office as a prosecutor. Being the first lawyer in his family and the son of a postal worker and a substitute teacher, his first few years of managing a practice were tremendously challenging. He gained practical experience by working his way up through the ranks. Because he didn't know about marketing, he was frequently taken advantage of by marketing firms. He then decided to learn how to run a successful business and now works 2-3 days per week. This helps him to start a marketing firm for the legal space in which he shares everything he wishes he knew when he started running his business. 𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧?
