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 is the real deal in coaching attorneys and developing business. I know this from experience. I am an attorney in practice for 36 years, whom he has been coaching for about three months. He has gotten me organized and educated about business development far beyond where I was before meeting him. With Steve’s guidance I have developed dozens of new contacts.
Andy Robert Norman

Steve revamped our website and put a marketing plan in place. He works tirelessly and has a very hands-on approach. He’s been coaching our attorneys on how to market our services and reach out to new clients.

Steve helped to clear out that clutter, got me focused on a systematic approach to developing the business by working the relationships I already have, and helped me find language that fit my style and personality. I have found myself more aware of marketing opportunities and the ways I can seize upon those opportunities. The future looks much brighter.

Steve is a fantastic resource for attorneys looking to improve their business development skills. Over the past few years, Steve has been an invaluable resource and coach for me in growing my book of business. His advice and guidance has also helped me become more efficient and productive at networking thus saving time while increasing results. Highly recommended!
Justin Strane
I was uncomfortable seeking new business, but I’ve always liked helping people. Steve gave me the tools and comfort to see business development not as sales but as an offer to help. Changing my approach over the last six months has led to a jump in my new originations, two-fold last year, and I’ve already surpassed that figure in the first two months of this year.
Phillip Barengolts
Partner
Steve’s process is straightforward and really helped me refine my approach with clients.
Jim Interlandi
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.
Charlie Stewart
Owner
Steve is an excellent coach in every sense – a teacher, strategist and motivator just to name a few qualities. Steve has given me the knowledge, structure and confidence to effectively expand my marketing efforts and capture business in competitive situations. I would highly recommend Steve if you are serious about growing your practice.
Ronald A. Nyberg, Esq.
Partner
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.
Erica Minchella
Real Estate, Short Sales & Foreclosure Defense
Steve has helped me to focus on my marketing efforts and develop a concrete and practical business plan. My goal was to become more organized with marketing, and Steve helped me to achieve that goal. The bottom line is that my business has grown substantially this year and Steve is one of the main reasons for this growth.
David J. Feinberg
Principal
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.
Sean C. Burke
Personal Injury Lawyer
I have been working with Steve for the better part of the year and his system and insight has more than paid for itself. He is readily accessible and provides thoughtful and caring advice. If you are looking to grow your business, Steve is your man.
Rodal Law
I can’t overstate the value of working with Steve. His thoughtful, systematic approach to business development directly led to immediate returns for me that more than justified the investment I made in his program.
Eric Guth
Attorney
Steve gave a concise, chock full of useful tips presentation on Lawyer Coaching at a recent Chicago Legal Marketing Association meeting. As a member of the Chicago LMA Board, I greatly appreciate his generosity in sharing his hard-earned knowledge and the time it took for him to pull together his presentation.
Jennifer Schaller
Steve Fretzin is an incredible guy. His class and overall training was instrumental to my success. He separates himself from the others by truly caring and investing in his clients. He is committed to the success of each and every person that he works with. Taking his class has given me a new perspective on marketing, sales and networking. It was a great investment for me.
James Wideikis
Litigation Principal
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.
Greg Grove
Private Equity & Venture Capital Attorney
I’ve had the privilege to work with Steve to increase my productivity and overcome my reluctance when in group networking situations. Steve was able to break the process down for me, which helped me grow my confidence level and generate new business.
