In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Christina Martini discuss:How Tina pivoted from engineering to legal. Selling big law by increasing the stickiness factor through cross-selling.Minding your assets in networking and cross-marketing. Building your book of business authentically.  Key Takeaways:The practice of law is not that different from having and nurturing the relationships in your life. Everything is all about relationships which are dynamic and require proactivity. Good business development, whether in a solo firm or in big law, requires a multi-pronged approach. Leverage existing clients, leverage your network, and talk to your peers. The right work for you is out there, but you've got to ask for it. Be prepared and have dynamic conversations with your potential clients. It will help build and nourish the relationship, but it will also create opportunities. As a woman, embrace who you are, embrace your femininity and who you want to be in the world when you go to market. Be authentic in your relationship building and in building your book.  "The rubber really meets the road when you cross-sell your clients into areas that are completely unrelated to yours. That's how you institutionalize clients. That's how you increase the stickiness factor." —  Christina MartiniFind out more about the 10 Easy-to-Execute Hacks to Unlock Your Full Potential at: fretzin.com/events Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: lawmatics.com/bethatlawyerGet Staffed Up: getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyerGreen Cardigan Marketing: greencardiganmarketing.com Episode References: Strategy and the Fat Smoker: Doing What's Obvious But Not Easy by David MaisterEmotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman About Christina Martini: Christina L.

Kendra never envisioned herself becoming a lawyer, per se. Like becoming a minister, earning her J.D. and opening her law firm became a way to drive positive change within minority communities – improving access to justice as an agent inside the system. Recently, Kendra also launched The Justice Renewal Initiative, a faith-based non-profit also supporting her singular goal through alternative methods. Key moments:Conception and struggles for a firm built to bridge the Justice Gap (1:00)The Justice Renewal Initiative's three focuses for change (10:45)Case Study: A man stuck in the broken criminal justice system (14:18)What Kendra Spearman wants to see changed in law (35:43) MEMORABLE QUOTES“The bar exam poses a major impediment [to more minorities becoming attorneys]…everything that it asks is stuff that you can kind of look up, it's not a test about intelligence, but some people just don't do well with tests.”“What I hope to do through the Justice Renewal Initiative is bring all backgrounds together. All private citizens: I want judges, police officers – and that's a group that tends to be excluded because of the mistrust – private citizens of the church…. People tend to ignore an issue if it does not affect them. So, I wanted to create this space where everybody could feel like they're involved.”“The other uncomfortable thing for me in that setting is that black women tend to have this stereotype that we're angry… And I'm pretty confident that had I not lost my temper, that my client would have been taken into custody, and from what I was hearing from the different numbers that they were throwing out, we're talking about years.”“One of the main things I tell people is to talk about it. People look at racism and systemic racism and these issues as, you know, the awkward conversation to have.” CONNECT WITH KENDRA SPEARMANKendra is a civil rights attorney and minister. She is the owner and founder of Spearman Law LLC, a civil rights law firm, and founder of The Justice Renewal Initiative, Inc., a faith-based, non-profit that is dedicated to criminal justice reform. She works diligently to fight injustice on the behalf of disadvantaged populations, in particular, those impacted by mass incarceration and racial disparities. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/preacherlawyer/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kendraspearmanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spearmanlaw/Spearman Law: www.spearmanlaw.comJustice Renewal Initiative: www.thejri.org ADDITIONAL READING“13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery (1865)” Our Documentshttps://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=40“Common Interpretation: The 13th Amendment” National Constitution Centerhttps://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/amendment-xiii/interps/137“School-to-Prison Pipeline” American Civil Liberties Unionhttps://www.aclu.org/issues/juvenile-justice/school-prison-pipeline“The School-to-Prison Pipeline” Teaching Tolerance (Issue 32; Spring 2013)https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/spring-2013/the-school-to-prison-pipeline“Dismantling the School to Prison Pipeline” NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/Dismantling_the_School_to_Prison_Pipeline__Criminal-Justice__.pdf“Camden's Turn: A Story of Police Reform in Progress” Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), U.S. Department of Justice (US DOJ); Not In Our Townhttps://cops.usdoj.gov/RIC/Publications/cops-p366-pub.pdf“Former Chief Of Reformed Camden, N.J., Force: Police Need 'Consent Of The People'” NPRhttps://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/06/08/872416644/former-chief-of-reformed-camden-n-j-force-police-need-consent-of-the-peopleInjustice Watch – Cook County option for Judicial informationhttps://www.injusticewatch.org/ Kendra, and The Justice Renewal Initiative, was featured in Chicago Lawyer!

It is truly ground breaking law, and I am proud that it is my own cousin Tom Paris making the case. Imagine finding out at the age of sixty that the man you have always known to be your father is not. Add insult to injury when your father's new wife cuts you out of his Will. The case, Dehart v. Dehart, went all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court, and after six years the adopted son wins the right to challenge his father's second wife in court over the estate. The case reads like a novel and has significant lessons for anyone with a mixed or complex family situation. Hosted by James L. Paris And Robert G. Yetman, Jr. editors of ChristianMoney.com
