For Solos By a Solo

The legal profession is broken.

It’s built on outdated systems that serve neither the lawyers in the profession nor the people it’s meant to help.

The scary part? No one taught us how to fix it.

Not in law school. Not in CLEs. Not in the late-night Google rabbit holes we turn to when we’re burned out and behind on billing.

We were handed a broken business model and told to make it work. Alone.

Until now.

I’m Lauren — practicing solo attorney, firm owner, and creator of A Different Practice and the Solo Success Lab.

I launched my client-centered law firm straight out of law school and built it from the ground up — no business degree, no corporate safety net, no blueprint. Today, I run a profitable, part-time practice I actually enjoy, generating over $250k/year while staying fully independent and doing work I care about.

I’m sharing exactly how I did it — and how you can do it too.

Through the Solo Success Lab and my Insider access, I give solo and semi-solo attorneys practical, real-world business strategies you can use to work less, earn more, and build a practice that fits your life.

Law school didn’t teach you how to run a successful business. I will.

I created these resources to share what I’ve learned and provide tangible, practical tools that help you work less and earn more.

And I get it because I’m right there in the trenches with you. I know what it’s like to be a solo attorney wearing all the hats because I am one. And I know what it takes to run a successful, profitable practice because I have one.

Here’s what makes my approach different:

🛠️ This isn’t theory. I’m still practicing so everything I teach is tested in the real world.
📬 It’s actionable. Each weekly newsletter delivers steps you can take today to streamline your practice and increase your profits.
💡 It’s empowering. You’ll stop second-guessing and start building with confidence using tools that work for you, not against you.
💬 It’s honest. I won’t pretend this is easy. But it is doable. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you’re tired of undercharging, stuck in admin chaos, or just craving a smarter way to run your practice, you’re in the right place.

Start getting real support, smart strategies, and the confidence to build a better law practice — one that actually works for you.
