Description

Guest: Leonard Scheiner – CEO of Geek House, a law firm marketing agency helping attorneys grow predictable revenues and become the go-to authority in their niche.

Background: Leonard started in the legal world as a marketing intern and never left. Over the past 10+ years, he’s worked with solo attorneys and small-to-medium firms across the US, turning legal professionals into trusted brands that actually get found.

Why Listen:
If you’re a lawyer (or any niche service provider) wondering why your phone isn’t ringing despite your credentials – this episode will slap you with some hard truths. Leonard breaks down why lawyers struggle with branding, how to outshine the competition without “shouting”, and why being a great attorney isn’t enough to grow your firm.
