New Law Business Model Opiniones 88

NLBM has provided me the training, the resources, the community, the encouragement, and the confidence to transition my law practice from a high conflict litigation practice into an estate planning practice where there is virtually no conflict. I now feel like I am truly delivering a heart centered service to families and this has given me the ability to be the trusted advisor that people need and want.

I joined New Law Business Model in 2020 when I transitioned from a 25-year career as a personal injury attorney into estate planning. That's a significant pivot — not just legally, but in terms of how you run a practice and think about your role as a business owner. NLBM gave me the structure I didn't know I needed.
The core membership offers real substance: a framework for building an estate planning practice that is client-centered and sustainable, monthly business coaching check-ins, and access to a genuinely warm and engaged community of attorneys who are navigating the same path. The Facebook group is active and supportive, and the live educational events throughout the year are worth attending — both for the content and for the connections you make.
What I appreciated most was NLBM's philosophy of a heart-centered law practice — one that doesn't consume your entire life. That resonated with me, and I believe their systems and guidance genuinely reflect that value.
Like anything, results require real effort on your part. But if you're an attorney considering estate planning and you want a proven framework, community, and coaching to help you build something meaningful, NLBM is worth a serious look.

NLBM fell into my lap at a time I needed it the most, and didn't really even know yet to what extent at the time. Prior to getting started, I was initially worried about whether the promises of the program were too good to be true and worth the investment, but NLBM has delivered above and beyond every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about the support and resources they provide to their members, particularly where they are new to estate planning and running a business. While the initial process of being certified as a PFL and passing the assessment feels a bit overwhelming at times, it is definitely doable. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is how things are bifurcated between pre and post assessment. I understand how they want people to be focused on passing the assessment and doing plans the PFL way, but its difficult to get the full picture and start setting up your business and get the tools you need lined up when you aren't given access to all the information. I also feel like most business coaches are remote and in different time zones that don't cater well to west-coast participants which can mean finding time on the calendar that actually doesn't interfere with your time blocked calendar difficult.

Everyone was so responsive to help. There was a plethora of resources.

I have been participating as a certified PFL for more than a year now while struggling with family situations and other stuff preventing me from succeeding. but - last week -From my pilates class I met a woman (Tia) who is a tax preparer and financial (series 7) adviser –
We got to chatting and she told me about her clients who actually own property in Hawaii – and have an offshore trust into which they conveyed the property to protect it from liability – but Tia is preparing the IRS return forms and asking questions – so she brought her clients to meet with me –
On Monday
Yes, they have an offshore trust and several LLCs “in the trust” and land “in the trust” for which they paid some internet lawyer group $40 thousand dollars
they Showed me everything –
There is an offshore trust
And in this offshore trust – there is $ 1 dollar

So they have hired me to renovate and fix all of this – and are happy to work with me on my flat fee agreements – offered – WITH CONFIDENCE, Maia – and they did not bat an eye.

So, I am learning a lot about owning and protecting real property in Hawaii – client’s grandparents and before -- owned the property before Hawaii became a state!

And, Today - Maia – I told you I undercharged these clients who came in today to have me review their wills –
And they have hired me flat fee for $3500 to fix their paperwork so it works
And
They are hiring me to prepare an LAPT for $5K – again, offered WITH CONFIDENCE

So thank you both and Ali and all the educators – I think this is starting to “work for me” -- a good day. And a good week IMPROVEMENT

Thank you!

New Law Business Model provides clarity, structure, and steady support that keeps lawyers from feeling lost or overwhelmed. The program is built with care, integrity, and a deep commitment to client‑centered practice.
Complex legal concepts are broken down into clear, digestible modules, making estate planning accessible even without prior experience. Yaasha Sabba is an exceptional instructor who explains sophisticated legal matters with precision and practicality. David Rowan’s consistent encouragement and coaching are invaluable, and Ali’s leadership is evident in her constant focus on improving the program and providing better tools to make both law practice and business more manageable.
I am deeply grateful for this program and would highly recommend it. By teaching lawyers how to truly set themselves apart, NLBM creates real job security and positions practitioners for long‑term success despite increasing competition.

When I first considered starting my own law practice, I was unsure about everything, from how to structure the business to how to confidently charge what my work was worth.

Joining New Law Business Model gave me the tools, structure, and confidence to gradually build a practice that I truly enjoy. The program provides excellent ongoing education, and the opportunity to learn from other practitioners who are building their practices as well.

The 1:1 and group coaching are extremely valuable. They help me understand that the ups and downs of running a law practice are normal, which kept me from panicking during the early stages and allowed me to stay focused on building the practice the right way.

Perhaps the biggest change for me was gaining confidence in my pricing. I went from being hesitant to charge a mid-premium rate to comfortably charging the suggested rates and even beyond as my practice developed.

I am very grateful for the support, mentorship, and community the program provides. It truly helped me create a practice that aligns with the work I enjoy and the clients I want to serve.

It seems that some attorneys actually do get some benefit from NLBM. I did not. And from the reviews here, a lot of other attorneys did not as well.

It is very expensive and the program seems to be just recorded conversations or transcripts of Ali (the founder) talking. Same for most of the written material. The training sessions were minimally effective in my humble opinion. Of course they may have updated their material since I was part of the program.

The cost/benefit analysis for me just didn't work and I quit after one year. Be careful and do not let the auto renewal get you because then you'll be on the hook for another year's worth. Unfortunately, as Ali once mentioned it was a very very expensive learning experience (thousands of dollars, five figures worth).

What I learned, going forward, is to be very very careful when you commit to paying five figure sums of money.

There are other alternatives that don't fleece you like NLBM. And there are other means to learn how to run a law practice that will not hamper you with the amount of money they take from you (willingly and by contractual obligations that you do not want to breach especially if you are just beginning in the estate planning field.)

Good luck.

Yes I am human and indeed I was enrolled in your program. But I feel no need to re-live my experiences with your program by reaching out to you. It appears many other attorneys are satisfied with it from the positive reviews. But there are also others with similar experiences to mine. And prospective attorneys interested in your program should be able to read all reviews and make their own decisions.

I would not be where I am today in my wonderful estate planning practice without NewLaw. They are some of the best people and offer such a great and impactful experience for the lawyers that join. Ali and NewLaw have changed my life! So very thankful.

I have been trying to transition my practice from Family Law to Estate Planning for six years, and used a different coaching program. After about a year and a half I gave up on the program. Somehow I found NLBM and gave it a shot and I am so excited to say that I have fully transitioned to Estate Planning. The program absolutely works and has filled my pipeline. But perhaps the best part is my coach, Kristyn. She not only coached me through the program but helped me get through the roadblocks that were preventing me from moving forward with this transition and supporting me outside of just practice. I finally have control over my schedule and freedom to practice the way I want to.

The level of responsiveness is incredible. Every time I hit a snag and needed to reach out for help, someone responded quickly. The team is patient as I am learning a new process and very helpful in problem-solving without judgment. It's great to know I've got a whole team invested in my success!

I’ve had a very positive experience with New Law Business Model and the Personal Family Lawyer® systems. The model itself is top-notch — thoughtfully designed, values-driven, and incredibly comprehensive. The training is practical and relevant, the support team is responsive, and the attorney community is extremely collaborative and generous. I genuinely feel equipped to build a modern, client-centered estate planning practice because of the systems they’ve created and the generosity of the community.

I also appreciate that the organization listens. They actively seek feedback and make real efforts to respond to what the community needs, which says a lot about their leadership and long-term vision.

Like many innovative companies, they’ve taken ambitious steps to develop new technology intended to replace multiple outside platforms. While the vision is strong, that product rollout appears to still be evolving, and I’m hopeful to see continued refinement there.

Overall, I’m really happy with NLBM and believe that this has been a meaningful investment in my firm, and I value being part of a community that is committed to serving families well and continually improving.

I began my journey with New Law Business Model over six years ago, and I can tell you their program has changed my law practice and my life! After being stuck in a family law career for two decades, they helped me not only with the resources, but the training to make the leap over to having a thriving estate planning practice. At any given time on any given day there are live trainings with topics ranging from estate planning to attracting new clients to selling your law practice. If you can’t find help on any particular topic, you’re not looking. We absolutely love our practice now and look forward to our continued partnership with NLBM.

NLBM is a great program that has changed my career. I used to be a litigation attorney and now practice in estate planning. It is a comprehensive course that teaches a system that helps secure clients and focuses on the clients' and families' needs in order to keep them out of court and out of conflict. Ali Katz was kind enough to sit down with me at a conference to help me work through some issues and questions I was having. She did not have to do that, as she has people she hires to handle those things for her, but she did it because she truly cares and loves what she does.

New Law helped me jumpstart my new practice. I have a steady stream of new clients who need my services.

New Law Business Model gave me everything I needed to start my law practice with confidence. From the very beginning, their step-by-step resources, templates, and systems took the guesswork out of building my business. What really sets them apart is the ongoing coaching and community support, they don’t just hand you a playbook, they walk alongside you every step of the way. They truly care about your success, both professionally and personally. The community of lawyers here is unlike anything else. I’ve made lifelong friends who continue to inspire and support me. If you’re looking to build a successful law practice that’s profitable, sustainable, and aligned with how you want to serve clients, New Law Business Model is the best investment you can make.

I’m sharing this as a former employee of a firm that participated in NLBM and the AGM program. With 15 years in HR Tech and operations—building Customer Success teams and leading organizational strategy—I was responsible for evaluating and executing the operational model inside a member firm.

Based on my experience, the value of the program is far more limited than the messaging suggests. While the materials may help attorneys brand-new to Estate Planning, the same foundational knowledge is widely available at a much lower cost. The cost-to-value ratio became increasingly difficult to justify.

A core concern for me was the lack of proof of concept. I did not see the type of operational rigor that should underpin a business model marketed as a comprehensive, strategic approach. There was no capacity modeling, no staffing forecasts, no client journey mapping, and no data-driven analysis demonstrating that the model is sustainable at scale. Without this foundation, it was challenging to understand how the program’s recommendations support long-term firm growth.

The business model itself is heavily attorney-centric. It emphasizes delegating non-legal tasks to staff, raising prices to cover that structure, and positioning this as a “holistic” client experience. From what I observed, the actual added value to clients or staff did not align with the significant price increases the model encourages.

Many attorneys join NLBM because they’re seeking strong operational guidance. In my view, the coaching team did not consistently demonstrate the depth of business or operational expertise required to provide that guidance. Coaching can be valuable for personal development, but sustainable business growth requires consultants with specialized operational backgrounds—expertise that I did not consistently see delivered.

NLBM also promotes a list of preferred vendors. In our firm’s experience, several of these partnerships did not deliver the level of service or outcomes we expected. When we raised concerns, the responses often felt more like reframing or redirecting rather than meaningfully addressing the issues. This made it difficult to resolve challenges.

This review reflects my professional assessment and firsthand experience. I hope it helps firms make informed decisions about the type of support that will genuinely advance their business.

*My original review was submitted in September but removed after NLBM flagged my review. Since then there have been a number of new 5.0 reviews submitted.

Amazing and works well

The program is robust, educational, nurturing, supportive, and they make it their goal to nurture your goals. I would not be able to practice Estate Planning without this help.
