Are you an unhappy attorney struggling to live the life you truly want?

Having helped hundreds of attorneys to leave the practice of law for their dream jobs over the past ten years, we are very familiar with the myths and misperceptions that block attorneys like you from moving into a career that they love and are good at.

You likely suffer from, and believe in, one or more of these myths, such as ...

• The myth that you cannot make as much money as you do as a lawyer;
• That myth that if you leave the law, you'll burn all your professional bridges
• The myth that your professional and personal identity is solely tied to being an attorney, and that you cannot do anything else
• That myth that you are too old, and that it's too late for you to ever be considered for another career
• That myth that you are too young to leave the law and you should at least practice the law for a few more years

... and there are many more.  See the Resource Page for the myth busting we do on all of these and lots more! 

I'll never forget the email I received recently from a Leave Law Behind course member who was able to leave his law practice and move into his new dream job, corporate operations.

He told me that he's making more money now than he ever did while as a criminal litigator, that his wife and family have noticed that he's remarkably happier than he's ever been in his life, and that he's loving and aligning with the duties and responsibilities of his new role.

His exact words were: “I can’t believe how much less the pressure and stress is in this job. I am so glad that I signed up for the LLB program. I went from getting physically sick on Sunday night just thinking about having to go back to work on Monday, to honestly if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would keep working at my current job, I love it that much.”​

Now, while your results may vary, I wanted to share this story with you to show you how you can also overcome what are likely the three main reasons (e.g. fears) preventing you from leaving your practice for your dream career: 

• You don't think you'll be able to earn enough money out of the law
• You don't think you'll be good enough in a new (non-law) role
• You think you'll disappoint everyone in your life if you were to leave

Now this all really comes down to the main fear we attorneys (and honestly all humans) suffer from. And that is the fear of the unknown. As the great writer Joseph Campbell pointed out, “Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tigers lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us.”​

And your fear of the unknown is really unfounded. I mean, c'mon ... look at all of the great things you've attempted and accomplished in your life, that at one time were considered "unknown" to you: Going to college, taking the LSAT, going to law school, taking on law school student debt, signing up for a bar prep course, taking the bar, getting a lawyer job, practicing the law, getting married, having children, taking on a home mortgage, relocating to a new city, caring for a sick parent, and on and on and on. 

You have done so many big things in your life, and taken on so many obligations, and succeeded. While any of the above tasks may have seemed large at the time, you still did them because you had a plan and you knew the steps to take. 

And while it seems loaded and scary, transitioning to a new career is the exact same - it's totally doable for you, with the right plan and guide. 

And that's where Leave Law Behind comes in. To make finding your dream career even easier, Leave Law Behind is that guide for you. We're here to help and steer you each step of the way. 

Leave Law Behind is a coaching program that helps unhappy lawyers find and transition to their dream jobs in different fields. 

We take unhappy lawyers like you through a 5 module program to help you figure out how to overcome the blockers you have to leaving the law, understand what you are good at and how to provide value, how to pick a fulfilling career, and then transition to that dream job.

Instead of rash decisions, we help you take calculated, strategic steps to determine the right “alternative” career for you.

Here's how it works:

You'll get years of recorded live coaching videos from ex-attorneys who've been through the same struggles. 

At the core of the Leave Law Behind program is a 5-module course that will guide you through the three big questions that shape a healthy career move out of the law:

1. How do I overcome the fears and blockers preventing me from making the move?

Here, you'll identify the actual fears, beliefs and obstacles that are getting in the way of you making this positive life change. It could be your fear that your network isn't big enough. Or your fear that you'll never make money out of the law. Or it could be your fear of disappointing your family and friends.

We'll help you isolate the fear, shine a light on it and help you take the steps to move forward in spite of it.

2. What are my strengths?

Most lawyers have never truly explored what their real skills and interests are, and do not know how their strongest traits are transferable to other fields.

We'll guide you through a structured discovery and experimentation process (what we call your "Unique Genius") in order to find your biggest advantages and how they map to new careers and roles.

3. How do I make the jump from law to a new field? 

This is the scariest part for most attorneys. We'll show you how to leverage your best qualities (and legal experience) into a specialized role where you'll feel energized to go to work every day.

And we have done most of the heavy lifting for you - we have proven, "non-law" job resumes and cover letters for you to download and begin using.

Hi, we are Casey Berman and Adam Ouellette, former-attorneys-now-career-coaches at Leave Law Behind. And we are your teachers and guides to help you leave your law practice and land your dream, "alternative" career. 

We've both been called "crazy" and "irresponsible" to leave our successful respective law practices ... but we each did so because we knew practicing the law was not a fit for us, did not make us happy and even was bad for our health. And we also realized that while you can make a good living as an attorney, you can also make a lot more money (and help many more people) doing something else.

We have taken our 20+ years of experience in helping people leave the law, and packaged it all for you in the Leave Law Behind Career Coaching Program.

You may feel like you are all alone in your unhappiness as an attorney, but you are not. We are here to guide you through the process.

The Leave Law Behind program will rid you of the constant feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, stress and loss of potential. 

Leave Law Behind will teach you how to change your mindset, overcome your fears of a new career, and know how to reposition yourself (and your resume and cover letter) to land that new, dream job you've always wanted (but didn't know how to identify or get.)
