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.

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.
Steve has been a very valuable resource to me with his numerous coaching tips, vast list of contacts and availability to answer questions and offer creative suggestions. My practice has unquestionably grown after working with Steve and maintaining contact with him for many years.

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!

I worked with Steve when I first made a lateral transition 7 years ago. Working with Steve changed my mind set on business development and helped me focus on growing my book of business instead of wasting time. The work I did with Steve and the continual insight from him over the years have really helped me continue to grow my practice and still have time to enjoy life. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who is serious about growing their book of business!

Steve has helped me take my business to the next level through strategic planning and the implementation of the detailed plan he helped me structure. Very knowledgeable in the sales process and motivating. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to take their business to the next level.

I believe I am pretty savvy when it comes to building my business, but there has not been a time when I have heard Steve Fretzin talk that he has not given me some ideas, skills or challenges that were not already in my bag of tricks. I find most people who teach about how to market service businesses to have limited ideas. Steve’s just seem endless.

Steve has taught me how to use his logical, easy-to-follow approach to generating new clients. As a result, my law office has valuable new cases and I have connected with referral sources I would not have found on my own.
