Driven, focused and passionate about helping attorneys to reach their full potential, Steve Fretzin is regarded as the premier business coach, trainer, and speaker on business development and marketing for attorneys.
Over the past 14 years, Steve Fretzin has devoted his career to helping law firms and lawyers master the art of business development and branding to achieve their financial goals and the peace of mind that comes with developing sustainability in the legal space.
In addition to writing three books on legal business development, Steve has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Crain’s and Entrepreneur.com. He has appeared on NBC News, WGN Radio and has written articles for Attorney at Law magazine, the National Law Review, the American Bar Association, and the Illinois State Bar Association.
Barry has been licensed to practice law since 1993. His practice consisted of plaintiffs’ employment and personal injury cases. Shortly after relocating to Chicago in 1998, he began to sell Westlaw.com and Findlaw.com websites to Chicagoland law firms. He helped attorneys “get online” for the first time.
His passion for helping lawyers build their brand online has led him to become the Director of Marketing for FRETZIN, Inc. and able to provide digital and other marketing services to law firms nationwide.
On top of all of his “academic” expertise, Steve is an extremely valuable in-the-trenches networking partner. He will teach you the theory of networking. That is part of what you are hiring him for. His network and “give first” philosophy come as an unexpected and welcome bonus.

Steve is the consummate professional, and thus well positioned to advise other professionals. I decided to leave my comfort zone and attend the Consumer Electronics Show to find new clients. Steve gave me the confidence – and the strategy – for making this venture a major success. His advice was concrete, practical and – best of all – effective. Hats off to Steve!
