Hear how Coach Jodi Miles helped guide Personal Injury Attorney Zach Meeks into building a successful solo practice.

If you are thinking of starting your own law firm or are needing to change how your current law practice operates, I highly recommend Jodi Miles with Carpe Argentum.
— Zach Meeks
  • I reached out to Jodi at a time when there’d been a lot of turmoil in my life, and after 15 years of practicing, I was on the fence about sticking with my law office or transitioning out of law altogether. She helped me get clear on what I wanted for my life first. After getting clarity on bigger life goals, we worked through what brings me joy and what brings me stress, both in life generally and in my work. I was able to realize that there is still quite a lot that I find fulfilling about my work, not just as an attorney, but as a leader of a small team. I’m thankful for her ability to listen deeply and ask questions that helped me reflect on what was at the heart of the matter. Sometimes the change and shift we need is not what we initially think it will be, but I’m grateful for the work with Jodi that helped me shift my perspectives, gain clarity, and implement some healthier habits and practices to stay grounded, true to myself and operating from more of a place of alignment. Thank you, Jodi.

  • I highly recommend Jodi Miles. Jodi reached out to me and helped me see my way out of the immediate hole I was in and I promised myself that when I could afford her, I would hire her to help me out of the larger hole I had built for myself (she’s not outrageously expensive- I was just that broke). I hired Jodi in July 2019 and this year (2020) has been the best year of my 15 years of practice BY FAR-even with Covid messing up the last 8 months.

  • I love Jodi! She always helps me figure out ways to make my life easier. She will help you come up with solutions that you had not considered before. I always feel like I can tackle my workload in a much more productive way after having her coach me. I highly recommend her!

  • I was still in corporate America when I first met Jodi. I wanted to pursue a legal career but didn’t have it all figured out. Jodi was always very encouraging. When I finally took my leap of faith, I contacted Jodi for her services. Jodi is very personable and relatable. She listened to my needs, asked probing questions, and made excellent suggestions. Though I am just starting out on my own, I am confident in my success knowing I have Jodi/Carpe Argentum in my arsenal.

  • I worked with practice management coach and attorney Jodi Miles for approximately one year. I met her through a local CLE I had attended where Jodi spoke on the topic of "Profit First." At the time we started working together, I was feeling burned out and frustrated by the hours my office was demanding of me. I even spent blocks of time on the weekend driving to satellite offices and doing work that could have been delegated. I wanted to be functioning at a higher level in the firm, focusing on the largest cases, developing my associates, and marketing our services to top tier referral sources. I am happy to share that I am now doing all of that and more, after working with Ms. Miles. She helped me develop better systems for delegating critical case-related tasks. She encouraged me to take risks in how our work was being accomplished at satellite offices. Together, we created a marketing plan that has me connecting with our very best referral sources on a regular basis. As a result, we are accepting better and higher value cases. I have picked up a hobby I had been wanting to do for many years. I am in better shape physically than I have been in many years because the time management system Jodi taught me allowed me to prioritize getting to the gym on a regular basis. During 2019 alone, I took a long trip with my daughter to California. We made memories that will last a lifetime! I also took an overseas vacation with my wife for our anniversary. We had never done that before! Jodi is an empathetic, resourceful, outside-of-the box thinker. Her creative ideas pushed me to think about business and personal challenges in a different way. As a result, I changed many other things about how my firm was running and I am happier as a result. I cannot recommend practice management coach Jodi Miles enough!

As a small business owner, sometimes I wish there were two of me. Working with Jodi is the next best thing

 

“I have worked with Jodi Miles for much of this year. She has been most helpful in managing the process of hiring a paralegal. Jodi wrote the job advertisement, screened over two hundred candidate resumes and performed the interview process. Her help allowed me to continue focusing on my clients while expanding my staff. I know I can count on Jodi to pick up the phone when I call. As a small business owner, sometimes I wish there were two of me. Working with Jodi is the next best thing.”

“She has advised and guided me on decisions concerning marketing, profitability, and productivity. She has written, edited, and maintained my website copy; firm press releases; and invitation language. She creates and maintains the social media profiles for all members of my private firm. Jodi helps with all recruiting campaigns to attract the very best talent to my firm. She drafts ads, performs background checks, reviews resumes, contacts references, evaluates writing samples, and makes recommendations on whom to interview. Jodi has also helped me to develop material for presenting continuing education seminars. On a regular basis, Jodi updates all firm marketing materials and evaluates the systems we have in place. She has helped us draft an employee manual that complies with all state and federal laws. We have elevated our marketing efforts to be the most effective ones allowed by the Florida Bar. Our productivity has improved; profits have increased; and we all work more efficiently due to methods Jodi has recommended we implement. She is reliable, professional, and creative. I recommend her talents as a practice management coach most highly! You will not regret hiring Ms. Miles!”

“Jodi Miles has been my practice management coach since 2006.”

 

“Most attorneys are well trained in the ins and outs of practicing law, but have very little in the way of business savvy.”

 

“Hiring Jodi as a law practice coach is an excellent choice, because she is an experienced attorney, who has managed a successful law practice before. This sets her apart from your general (non-attorney) business coach, and makes her the “go to” person for the attorney who needs guidance with the business aspects of law practice. Not only does she understand what the practice of law is about, she provides unique and insightful solutions to the issues that attorney/business owners face daily. Jodi also provides unique services over and above general business coaching, in that she offers assistance with hiring staff, developing AVVO profiles, etc. For these reasons, I highly recommend her to any attorney who is seeking a business coach.”

“As an attorney coach, Jodi is there to help you with whatever professional development you need. It is great to speak to someone that has experience and knowledge of how to market a law practice. Jodi has helped me with my online marketing presence, and with finding ways to market myself to new audiences. Jodi is also good at figuring out your individual strengths and tailoring her advice to your individual strengths and personality, so that you can actually succeed. I know several people who have hired her, and have been very satisfied with the work she has done for them as well.”

“I have hired Jodi to help me with marketing my practice, and I have hired her as a speaker for different venues and topics.”

Attorney Belkis Says

“Jodi is a great coach! She is an experienced attorney who provides great advice on client management and in the area of family law. I would highly recommend her services to anyone starting out, or venturing into a new area of law.”
