Date: December 15th, 2017 11:20 AM Author: stimulating nudist nursing home mediation I just finished doing my law firm books for 2017 and I netted $1,326,000. Any settlements the last couple weeks of the year will be pushed to 2018, so this is pretty much it for this year. Here is summary of my taxes:
According to my CPA here is my breakdown: 765K after taxes 136K to state income tax 425K to federal income tax
Firm Statistics Total files: 283 Files in litigation: 41 Settlement: 85.5% of cases settle prelit New files per month: 25-30
I paid off my house earlier this year. Our plan right now is to max out my SEP (54K) and my wife's 401K (18K) (which we have already been doing for years), and everything left above 100K (for a buffer) will be used to buy real estate. Wife works in-house as a lawyer and makes 120K + plus a 5-10K bonus.
It's kind of crazy how much I pay in taxes, but I feel like I do all the deductions I can without exposing myself to significant liability if audited. Although open to ideas (I already write off property tax, retirement, child care, health savings account, one business vehicle, cable, auto insurance, cell phone, new computers, office improvements, a reasonable amount of travel/meals/entertainment for business, etc).
Taking questions. |

|
Date: December 15th, 2017 11:44 AM Author: rose appetizing patrolman bawdyhouse That just sounds like 4 loko in cider form. This was more like taking the brix of the apples so that they are harvested at the right time, having different varietals, aging in French Oak.
I wonder if it is possible to make an ice wine like thing with apples. |
|
Date: December 15th, 2017 11:45 AM Author: claret indian lodge son of senegal Interesting idea re ice wine. I'd think it would be, mechanism should be the same. Wonder how it would compare to Lambic beer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3830045&forum_id=2#34926899) |
|
Date: December 15th, 2017 11:47 AM Author: rose appetizing patrolman bawdyhouse I am guessing there is an issue b/c apples are denser and have lower surface area/volume than grapes. But you could just take the mash and freeze it in a factory.
Lambic beer is just stuff brewed with wild lactobacteria, right? |

My friend owns the laser tag facility (I've been playing there since 95) and basically let me rent out the place at cost ($850). The majority of the money was spent tipping the girls who work there ($140/each), buying food ($1,300), and doing my raffle ($600).

Qs: What helped make the jump from ~100-150 cases to where you are now? I've kind of plateau'd where I am.
Do you have an associate? How much support staff? What do you pay them? |

Premium in the insurance company for the first year it is in is restricted to what it can be invested in, but after 1 year, you can invest it in real estate or whatever you want. If you ever want to redeem cash from the insurance company, you take it as capital gains instead of ordinary income on your taxes, so you have converted ordinary income into long term capital gains.

Be friendly to everyone you meet, let them know what you do, let them know how to reach you (business cards), and tell them a quick interesting story about a cool case. This is hard if you don't have social skills but it can be learned with practice. Almost identical to PUA skills. It's all a numbers game. If you talk to 10,000 people and 1% hires you, that's 100 clients. I even handed out some business cards at the XO meeting in LA a week ago (not to everyone though since a lot of them already had my contact info).
2. Do great work for your clients. Be responsive, professional, and make sure they love you when the case is done.
3. Give your clients your cell phone number and make them feel like family. I become very close with all my clients and talk to them like a friend, not their lawyer. When they refer me people they talk about me as not only a lawyer but a good person. Makes people excited to hire me.
This is pretty much all you need to do. Most attorneys treat their clients like shit, are impossible to reach, and do shitty work. It's really not that hard to stand out. |
