How to Build a Successful Appellate Practice: An Interview with Attorney Steven Emmert Kindle Edition
My name is David Ward. I am an attorney, marketing consultant, business owner, and author. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing top appellate attorney, Steven Emmert, about his career and about what it takes to start and build a successful appellate practice.
A former trial lawyer, Steve now practices exclusively in the field of appellate advocacy. His practice was the first “appellate only” practice in Virgina, and today, he is among the top appellate lawyers in the Commonwealth.
Steve is is the founder and past chairman of the appellate practice section of the Virginia Bar Association and eminently qualified to counsel lawyers on starting and building an appellate practice.
In this book, you’ll learn:
— How he started an appellate-only practice when other attorneys told him it was “impossible”
— How he built his practice and became one of the most successful and sought after appellate attorneys in Virginia
— Advice for attorneys seeking to build an appellate practice with little or no appellate experience
— Choosing a niche market, setting fees, marketing, and dominating your market
— How to give justices the brief they want to read
— How to distinguish yourself from other lawyers in your field
— How to get referrals from other lawyers
— The one skill EVERY attorney must develop to successfully build a practice
— And more
This brief book contains the complete transcript of our interview and provides invaluable advice for attorneys in any practice area.

This was a great summary of some practices I already implement and many new suggestions that I had not considered. Anyone looking to build a niche legal practice would benefit from reading this short interview-style book.
