Success Story: How I Left the Law During the Pandemic
If money weren't an issue, what would be stopping you?
Hear what our successful course members have to say...
I'm making more money in this new role than in my average years, I've matched my highest years' earnings! I worked through the program, watched the live feeds, and soaked up as much information as possible. I also used their resume bank and sample cover letters to help me develop mine. I would not have been able to prepare my resume, cover letter, or kill the interviews without the training I received from LLB. I was able to confidently convey my years of experience in a way that showed my value to the firm and not just another litigator.
Mike Chestnut
General Counsel
I’d been unhappy in law for years but didn’t know how to make a change. After over 20 years litigating, I knew I had to do something for my mental health. I attended a local bar association zoom "luncheon" during the pandemic, and finally found my answer. The Leave Law Behind program walked me through every step of the process with compassion and precision. It helped me identify my unique skills and match them to a career I’m now thriving in. Casey’s support was instrumental. I can’t recommend this program enough.
I had been unhappy in law for years—burnt out and missing important family moments. I knew I needed a change, but I didn’t know where to begin. The Leave Law Behind program walked me through every step of the transition with clarity, compassion, and structure. More than just a roadmap, it gave me access to a supportive community of like-minded professionals who understood exactly what I was going through. Having that network—and the ability to talk openly about fears, challenges, and hopes—made a huge difference.
Casey’s guidance was invaluable. His support didn’t end with the course; I continue to reach out as I navigate my next career moves. Leave Law Behind helped me identify my unique skills, reframe my value, and step into a career where I feel fulfilled and energized. I can’t recommend it enough.
Peter Rossi
Chief Operating Officer
When I started doing the Leave Law Behind program, all my questions started getting answered. Adam and Casey have already done the work and identified all of the "non-law" jobs that are out there for me. They have this great term I love so much, the Unique Genius, which really helped me hone in on what I wanted to do. Also the work they provide about our perspective on money helped me a lot, to set my intentions and believe in myself.

Client Success Manager
Like a lot of people, I went to law school because it was the thing to do.
The programs are so well organized and the community is so incredible that I'm simply thankful that LLB gave me my life back!
Nik Agharkar
Wealth Advisor
I was anxious about leaving the security of the law behind, but now I earn even more money than I did as a lawyer. My "lawyer" skills have been a perfect fit for these "non-law' jobs - I've been promoted three times and my career growth upside seems limitless... On top of that, I am a much happier, calmer and motivated person. I even look forward to work on Mondays!
Every day I am not only excited to start work, but I am consistently encouraged by my bosses. They celebrate my achievements and consistently tell me how excited they are about my contributions and the success they anticipate we will have as a result of my involvement. I feel for the first time in 10 years, that I am flexing my professional muscles and loving every minute of it!
Starrett Berry
Director, Business and Legal Affairs
I knew within the first month of law school that law wasn't for me. By following the Modules step by step, I was able to quickly learn and build on Casey’s leave the law concepts with minimal questions or frustration.

Casey Berman
Founder, Leave the Law Coach
I like to joke that I went to law school for the simple reason that I was a Jewish kid who didn't like blood ... so I decided to attend law school, and not medical school! That's about as critically as I thought about becoming a lawyer! I left the law in 2004 after focusing on software licensing, mainly because I found the practice of law to be very reactive and always about putting out fires. I also never considered myself that good of a lawyer. Since then, from my home base in San Francisco, I've been on a mission to help other unhappy, unfulfilled attorneys create their own alternative, dream careers out of the law like I have.
Adam Ouellette
Leave the Law Coach
I practiced law for over 20 years in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, across the areas of commercial real estate closings, real estate litigation, business law and family law to name a few. I built a very successful law practice, but realized I liked the business of building a firm more than practicing law. I also found the practice of law to be so overwhelming and stressful, that it began to impair my health - I was rushed to the hospital three times for stress-related incidents! So I left the law and have been writing and speaking ever since on life purpose, career change and entrepreneurship from my horse ranch near Asheville.
