Velocity Work Overview

Velocity Work is the result of over a decade of growth coaching and facilitation, customized for law firm owners who are ready to do what it takes to truly understand their business and to execute on specific strategic priorities.

Working with us can happen in a few different formats, which are outlined below.

Private Clients

We work with private clients in a very limited capacity, and on a case-by-case basis. Working with our team privately is a mutually deeper commitment that begins with a consultative assessment of your law firm, followed by specific phases of collaboration personalized to your needs.

Hear from some of our members who are reclaiming their freedom and growing revenue.

I've gotten some pretty massive things done because of the structure of the quarterly strategic planning. I have a friend that I chat with about law firm owner stuff and she always comments on how much I get done. I feel like I can because I'm not wasting my efforts on things that aren't actually going to help me reach my goals.

Velocity Work has quickly become my #1 recommendation to fellow lawyers because it has completely transformed my business and firm culture for the better. My team now has powerful clarity around our data, our quarterly goals, and our big picture vision.

I've always known my revenue per matter, I've known how many matters I open, my total revenue, etcetera. But I didn’t really understand what to do with that information, and how making different tweaks to what I was doing would actually drive results that were bigger than I had ever imagined.

I have felt the amazing personal encouragement of Melissa and her team in a few ways. Firstly, they've taken the time to delve into my personal barriers, which include mental health and self-doubt. Additionally, they've helped me recognize the importance of time management, considering factors such as parenting, caseload, and pro-bono obligations.

If you are not sure where to start, Velocity Work has the toolbox to get you going. Whether you are charging hourly, flat fees, or allow payment plans, they have the tools to help you get started on what you should consider tracking (and provide the template for it) to get you to your goals. They also make you clarify whether you are basing your decisions on real data or "hunches".

I have worked with other coaches before and generally found the experience valuable. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but there is something about Melissa's approach or personality or *something* that makes me feel uniquely heard, like she really understands and cares and is genuinely excited about what I am trying to accomplish and the challenges we're wrestling with, in a way that I haven't found anywhere else.

A bit about Melissa

The host of The Law Firm Owner podcast and an extremely effective coach for attorneys running their own firms, Melissa brings her A-game to everything she does. Her energy is infectious and the material she’s teaching will forever change how you think.

From mindset to vision, to productivity, to tracking firm data, Velocity Work has helped hundreds of attorneys grow their firm on their terms.
