CLFS Presents: Building Your Mission Driven Law Firm

Join Children and Family Law Society as they host attorney David Patton as he speaks on building your mission-driven law firm and branding yourself as a lawyer. 

David brands himself as a huge (or at least moderate) geek. He playfully calls himself the Laptop Lawyer. He believes that attorney you choose affects not only the outcome of your case, but your experience with the legal system. David is the owner and lead attorney at Patton Law. His vision of a client-centered law firm is what brought his firm together in the first place. His office consists of a laptop, a cell phone, and a notebook. By staying mobile and flexible, David offers the whole package, a battle-hardened fighter, luxury legal service, and reasonable pricing.

Come join us for lunch and to learn from David. This session is open to all law students, regardless of your affiliation with Children and Family Law Society! So come join us! The more the merrier!

RSVP here.
