During that time, they have spoken with close to 300 potential clients and consistently applied the FAIR Practice™ consultation model to turn conversations into retained clients. Through a coordinated attorney-paralegal approach and ongoing consultation coaching, they have achieved a strong 25–30% retention rate, regularly converting one out of every three to four potential clients they speak with.</p><p>In this session, you will hear real examples of what’s working, learn how small changes in your consultations can produce dramatically better results, and walk away with ideas you can immediately implement in your own practice to increase enrollments and serve more clients.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="best-fit" data-id="rMPFKO2287ZAb93hsVXcN" data-version="v2" data-type="image"><img data-id="rMPFKO2287ZAb93hsVXcN" src="https://tribe-s3-production.imgix.net/rMPFKO2287ZAb93hsVXcN?auto=compress,format"></figure><p></p><p><strong>Meet Ben Moskel</strong>, an attorney at Casey Spencer Law, where he focuses on vehicle and traffic matters and criminal defense. Beyond the courtroom, Ben brings a business operator's perspective to his practice — having founded and run real estate data companies, invested in real estate, and led a range of other business ventures. At Casey Spencer Law, he applies that same mindset to firm operations, marketing, and building systems that keep the practice running efficiently while giving clients clear, plain-English guidance through stressful legal situations.</p><p><strong>Meet Jorden Hoerth</strong>, a paralegal with over 10 years of experience in the legal field, starting in foreclosure law before moving into criminal and traffic defense. Now at Casey Spencer Law, Jorden handles traffic consultations directly over the phone — bringing organized, client-focused communication and deep legal knowledge to every interaction. Clients consistently experience clear guidance and dependable support, delivered with professionalism from the first call.</p><hr><p><strong>Why You Shouldn't Miss This Workshop</strong></p><p>Through Conversation Verified Clients™, Access Legal is already connecting you with potential clients who are serious about hiring an attorney. The consultation is where those opportunities turn into retained clients.</p><p>This workshop is not about consultation theory. Here is what the session will actually look like:</p><ul><li><p>We will <strong>listen to real redacted recorded consultations</strong> together</p></li><li><p>We will <strong>pause throughout</strong> and analyze what is happening in real time</p></li><li><p>We will <strong>discuss the strategy</strong> behind each section of the consultation</p></li><li><p>You will have the opportunity to <strong>ask questions directly</strong> to Ben and Jorden about why they approached the conversation the way they did</p></li></ul><p>This is a live, open community event — not a lecture where you sit on the sideline. You will be an active participant in the discussion, and you will walk away with a clear picture of how a well-structured attorney-paralegal team approaches each consultation, so you can apply that directly to your practice and start retaining more clients right away.</p><p><a class="text-interactive hover:text-interactive-hovered" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://accesslegal.zoom.us/meeting/register/UwPLMpoeTfeUGqSIm1EXLQ"><u>Reserve Your Spot — Thursday, June 18</u></a></p><p>Join us on <strong>Thursday, June 18 at 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST</strong> and take your consultation approach to the next level.</p><p>Can't attend live?<a class="text-interactive hover:text-interactive-hovered" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://accesslegal.zoom.us/meeting/register/UwPLMpoeTfeUGqSIm1EXLQ"> <u>Register now</u></a> and we'll send you the replay on demand.</p><p><strong>P.S.</strong> Did you catch our previous Consult Mastery session with Rives White?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In terms of Access Legal, I handle personal Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies (I do other things, too; read on). I do debtor-side bankruptcy because, having filed bankruptcy myself back when all the world and time were young, I get great joy from helping others who find themselves in tough financial straits. </p><p>I was born in Norfolk VA, grew up in the Saratoga Springs, NY area, went to college at Smith (https://smith.edu), grad school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (https://rpi.edu), and had a 20+-year career as a technical documentation person. Then the bug bit and I went to law school; I started very part-time in the fall of 1999 at New England School of Law (https://nesl.edu) because of their Special Part-Time Program (which is really quite wonderful). When my tech-documentation job disappeared in a puff of recession logic and I could no longer afford to live in the Boston area,  I transferred to what was then Franklin Pierce Law Center (now UNH School of Law; https://law.unh.edu). Since graduating in the top 20% of my law-school class in 2003, I've spent over 20 years concentrating in intellectual property and business law (yes, I have the patent prosecution ticket in my pocket). I've always had a finger in the personal bankruptcy space, though, due to my own sordid past in that realm; there's just something really satisfying about helping a client struggling with debt, even more so than helping a client get that patent or trademark through the rigorous examination rendered to such things at the US Patent &amp; Trademark Office.</p><p>I've always been a solo practitioner; I was never part of a larger law firm. So how did I ever learn to practice law (they don't teach us that in law school)? Easy. The New York State Bar Association had a listserv in their General Practice section, filled with experienced lawyers who shared ideas and information. I joined that listserv and used it as my senior partner. I asked a LOT of dumb questions that kept me out of a LOT of trouble early on. Only one lawyer got pissy about it and that lawyer got roundly trounced by her colleagues. I owe those lawyers a lot, and I repay my debt by helping them out by actually understanding and sharing that understanding of the voodoo of intellectual property law.</p><p>For non-lawyer fun, I love playing and working with our Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever (named Einstein because he is very, very smart ... too smart for his fur), our two elderly kitties (Gus and Lucy) whom I've had since they were eight-week-old kittens, and planning the new addition on our house (it will be lovely ...).</p><p>And, back to the practice of law, I'm the person for other bankruptcy lawyers (and family lawyers ... and wills/estates lawyers ... and business lawyer ... and other lawyers) to contact in the event that your client has, or even thinks they have, a piece of intellectual property that is impacted by what your client is trying to do with you. You can inadvertently lose a LOT of value in your clients' IP if you don't handle it right. It's way cheaper and will have way less impact on your E&amp;O insurance if you take a moment to talk to someone who speaks IP fluently ... and after 20+ years of IP practice, yes, I speak it fluently. I'm happy to help anyone who needs it.</p>]]></content:encoded>
