Lesson Title: Premiere PI Firm Business Management Series
Faculty:
Description:
Introducing an exclusive 10-part collaborative series focusing on best practices for running your law firm. The course is limited to 20 lawyers of plaintiff firms. The course will consist of one 3-hour session per month for ten consecutive months beginning in March. The program will focus on every aspect of running a PI law practice, feature guest speakers, and help you work on your practice as efficiently, as you work on your business and your cases.
The program was created by Andrew Finkelstein who has the unique perspective of being the Managing Partner of 5 law firms throughout the Northeast. Prior to law school, Andrew received a BS in Finance and Marketing from Syracuse University. While trying personal injury cases, Andrew also obtained an Executive MBA. Andrew grew his father’s practice from one firm that practiced exclusively plaintiff’s personal injury out of one location to 5 firms, 19 locations, nearly 100 lawyers, 250 paraprofessionals engaged in plaintiff’s personal injury, consumer class action, Workers’ Comp, Veteran’s Disability, SSDB, and mass tort. The firms use proprietary case management software and have been paperless since 1995. In addition to his law career, Andrew is the Chairman of the Board of Empire State Bank, a community bank with branches throughout NY.
Joining Andrew will be Michael Earner, JD, LLM, MBA, who is the President & CEO of Total Trial Solutions, a highly awarded (plaintiff only) national litigation support company that has worked on over 100 seven and eight-figure cases in the past ten years. Michael is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan where he served as an infantryman on the front lines in the conflict as a member of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. He was injured during a major offensive operation and was medically evacuated back to the US, where he spent about six months receiving treatment at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC. He fought through his injuries and was later recruited into Army CID, where he completed training and qualified as a Special Agent. As an Agent, he worked primarily in counter-drug activities, conducting investigations both in the US and abroad, and was known for deploying technology and using data science to solve cases and identify suspects. Michael later accepted an early, honorable discharge, as his injuries continued to plague him. After leaving government service, Michael received a Yellow Ribbon scholarship to attend Suffolk University Law School in Boston, where earned a JD, a graduate certificate in Legal Technology and Innovation and was one of seven graduates in an accelerated LLM in Taxation program, all during his regular three years in study at the law school. Michael has an MBA, has studied Artificial Intelligence at MIT, Data Science at Cornell University, and completed two years of graduate coursework in Forensic Psychology. Michael has spent his career at the confluence of law, business, psychology, and technology and is a fantastic addition to this program.
