Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneMolly Kremer is a certified life coach and former Biglaw litigator. As a high-achieving lawyer for 16 years, she made mistakes in how she approached billing her time which resulted in unintended and unsatisfactory outcomes. When she pursued her life coaching certification in 2021, she started understanding the real reasons behind her unhelpful billing practices and retrained herself to bill more consistently and contemporaneously. Now as a billing coach, Molly helps attorneys go from stressfully struggling with their billing (and hating the process) to finally solving all of their unhelpful billing habits. Through her proven models and strategies, her clients effortlessly keep track of their hours and earn more money while reducing stress and anxiety. WHAT’S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT HOW TO STOP LOSING BILLABLE TIME! It’s the end of the month, and you haven’t billed your time. You can’t remember which case or client you worked on and for how long, and you are feeling all kinds of anxious and perhaps even working overtime to make up for untracked time. For many lawyers, this isn’t a hypothetical scenario, it’s a recurring nightmare. The billing struggle is real, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck in this cycle forever. In this episode of The Lawyer’s Edge podcast, Elise Holtzman speaks with Molly Kremer, a former Biglaw litigator turned life and billing coach, about how to capture and count more of your billable time, so you can increase your earnings, reclaim your time, and build confidence in your practice.
