He also co-founded Justice HQ, a fast-growing, collaborative workspace and network aimed at helping lawyers break away from the stodgy firms of old to grow their own solo practices. On this week's episode, sit back and relax as Bob tells us why you shouldn't wear suits. He teaches us how to be a giver, not a taker; the correct way to read Green Eggs and Ham; and what not to do while working as a teen at your community pool. If you listen closely you may even learn how to masquerade as a secret princess while playing Dungeons and Dragons. Key takeaways Be a giver, not a taker. Networking is hard, and there has to be a give and take. Don't create a relationship that's lopsided. Always try to give as much as you receive.

Take the time to find the joy in your life. You don't always need a suit. Bob may recommend flip-flops at a conference, but not everyone can be that zen.

It's easy to think that becoming a successful lawyer requires sacrificing personal life in favor of billing more hours. Having time for family isn't possible between appearances, conferences, and an ever-growing caseload. But as Sevy Fisher, partner and trial attorney at the Simon Law Group, explains, creating your desired life is possible. Getting there requires a bit of leg work. His advice includes finding a firm that shares your values, a willingness to trust the team, tapping into empathy, and letting go as critical to a happier life in law. As well as tips for finding a work-life balance, hear why Sevy believes empathy is his strongest tool in the courtroom. He walks us through high-low agreements and why building relationships with the opposition is good business. Key takeaways: Take calculated risks. While in trial, it can feel like all of the burdens fall on the shoulders of the most senior attorney. The desire to control every aspect of the case is a natural response. However, a team that is not allowed to take risks and possibly fail will never grow. Set boundaries. An attorney can not be everywhere all at once, but it is possible to carve out time for what matters most. Be present. Create win-win relationships. Make the other side look good. The opposing council will remember you and think of you as both reasonable and capable of striking a deal with.

"The wealthiest people that I know are the most giving with their time. I do believe in karma in some form and it all comes back.” - Rob Simon What wealth has an authentically lived life provided Rob? What is the origin story of the superhero-themed ecosystem? Why was law school easier for Rob than undergrad? How did Rob's entire family, including his divorced parents, end up working for the Simon Law Group? What is Justice HQ and how is it lowering the barrier to entry for aspiring attorneys? What is the vetting process for The Justice Team and Justice HQ? What can trial lawyers learn from trying to persuade 5-year-olds? Why is not sharing business the worst advice Rob has ever heard? Authenticity, Generosity, and Hard Work Rob Simon's career is nothing short of inspiring: an incredible recovery record of $200 million, scaling The Simon Law Group (aka The Justice Team) to eight figures in the first few months of opening, throwing Law-Di-Gras annually, and the founding of Justice HQ. But what sets Rob apart is his unflinching authenticity. Good-natured and family-oriented, he is the embodiment of a value-driven life. When opening the firm with twin brother Brad in 2009, Rob's desire to serve his family was reflected in his approach to building community. Rob and Brad poured every settlement back into the firm. For close to two years, neither took a check and lived with roommates until married to keep costs low. In the early days, he skipped spending on SEO and digital marketing. Instead, he hit the pavement — hard. Taking to the streets, he served his community. "An early case I settled for 5 million bucks. I got in that position by helping people out for free and doing the right thing. When starting your firm, your time is free. You've just got to use it wisely." - Rob Simon From answering questions at swap meets to meeting with chiropractors, answering listservs, and emailing his graduating class, he made a name for himself outworking the competition. Nearly a decade and a half later, Rob's vision has paid off. Having reached his lifelong dream to take care of his entire family, he has unlocked a higher quality of life. Today, Rob shares the driving force behind his tenacity, why the ultimate measure of success is financial independence, and how Justice HQ is restructuring the legal industry. Change How You Score the Game Work-life balance is a myth — at least for high performers. Some level of imbalance — across all industries — is required to score the next goal. Chasing the myth can lead to burnout. The solution? Change the metric. Measure success by the quality of life achieved — and ditch the idea of balance. "Doing what makes you happiest most of the time — that's quality of life. For me, that has always been defined as financial freedom, stress-free with your family. Listen, I'm always going to pick up the phone. If somebody's texting me about a new case, I've got to pick up." - Rob Simon Key Takeaways: Enjoy your life, but surround yourself with people who will pull you in the right direction to help keep the fun in check. Greed isolates. Wealth is created by helping others. Put ego aside. To succeed, any firm owner needs to hire well, trust those around them, and delegate often.

In a special edition episode of The Effective Lawyer, Jack Zinda takes center stage in San Diego as a guest on Simon Law Group's podcast, ‘Justice Team'. Joined by Attorneys Brandon Simon, Greyson Goody, and Evan Garcia of the Simon Law Group, this week we journey into the experiences that taught Jack how to build a highly successful, multi-state, personal injury law firm that employs 80 members of staff, including 26 attorneys, many of whom are licensed in more than 10 states - from New York to Florida to Texas.Why file a case in one state over another?Working backwards from the advantages of a country-wide firm to Jack's character-building experience as a dishwasher in his father's restaurant, Jack explains that jurisdictional decisions at Zinda Law Group depends on ‘what is best for the client.'For example, for small cases it doesn't make sense to uproot clients to the other side of the country to file their case. However, in other cases one state may have an advantageous rule of evidence over another.Is it difficult for attorneys to license in several states?“Once you get past the 5-year mark it is not too difficult to get licensed in other jurisdictions”, Jack remarks. However, it is important to know the rules of reciprocity for different states, since each is unique.And apparently, some of the attorneys at his firm are qualified to practice in not 10 or 12, but 15 states.A day in the life of Jack Zinda“I consider it a victory if I spend 25 percent of my time practicing law. We have nearly 80 employees, and there is always some fire going on somewhere,” Jack admits. The reality is, between firefighting, admin, and meetings, his caseload has gone from 15 all the way down to 3 out of necessity. But, it is not all bad. He says over the years he has learned that ‘being intentional about making the time to practice law' has been the most valuable life and work lesson. Being intentionalLike he tells his employees, especially the younger attorneys who are eager to please and haven't yet walked the walk of life, working long hours does not equate to productivity. “I think there is a diminishing return if you are working so many hours”, he wisely explains. Instead of sitting at his desk for 80 hours but producing 40 hours of work, he makes time for breaks, keeps Saturday as a family day and, in the end, finds it makes him a better lawyer. And how did Jack become so skilled?Well, he says, working in his father's restaurant was the best lesson on ‘learning how to deal with people'. Then, straight out of law school, a very trusting family law firm gave him the reigns to assemble a personal injury department. Together the experiences gave him the business, legal and people skills needed to craft the Zinda Law Group of today.On today's podcast: An introduction to Jack Zinda and the Simon Law Group team Advantages of practicing law in one state over another Attorneys with licenses in multiple states Time management while practicing law Being intentional about making time The skills and experiences that made Jack the person he is today Links: https://www.zdfirm.com/attorney-profiles/john-jack-zinda/ https://youtu.be/EiEUTPbFiqA https://www.thesimonlawgroup.com/ https://justiceteampodcast.com/
