The LinkedIn Lawyer

By Olga V. Mack (CEO, Parley Pro)

“Staying on your A-game requires constant improvement. You must check and double-check your progress, as well as keep up on industry standards — and that’s just the base level of what you’ll need to do. If you really want to get ahead, you need to follow industry innovators as much as the standard practices. I have had the privilege of engaging with such trailblazing individuals regularly on my podcast, Notes to My (Legal) Self. And it is from these conversations that I would like to share some crucial tips.”

Ramos’ New Website is Built to Benefit Beginning Lawyers

By Jim Ash (Senior Editor, Florida Bar News)

“In his 2018 book, ‘The Future of Law,’ veteran Miami attorney and author Frank Ramos proved eerily prescient.

’If you take anything from this book, take this,’ Ramos told a reviewer for the Defense Research Institute. ‘We’re on the cusp of a new age and a new reality, and the practice is radically going to change.’

Ramos says he had no idea at the time that a lethal COVID-19 pandemic would threaten the planet and spur a rapid pivot in the legal profession to home offices and remote technology. Now the managing partner at Clarke Silverglate, P.A., acknowledges that the crisis has brought some of his predictions — ‘the day will come when we will be able to operate our firms from our phones’ — closer to fruition.”

Want To Be a Successful Marketer? Be Professionally Generous; Words from the Masters

By Dan D. Kohane, Esq. (Senior Member, Hurwitz & Fine, P.C.)

“In my posting yesterday, I wrote about Professional Generosity.  There is nothing more rewarding and little more personally satisfying, as a lawyer, than helping others—other lawyers individually, or through bar activities; presentations and roundtables; helping clients through training; and helping young lawyers through mentoring.

Over the next two days, I am going to offer you commentary from some of the finest lawyers in the country, men and woman who distinguish themselves in so many ways.  In particular, I selected individuals who I know understand the concept of Professional Generosity, contributions of time and talent, gratis, to members of the bar, to the community, to clients and to others. If you don’t know these lawyers, your professional and personal life will be enhanced if you read their fine words and even more so, if you get to meet them.”

Ramos Has a Passion for Mentoring Young Lawyers

By Jim Ash (Senior Editor, The Florida Bar)

“Beginning lawyers are facing fewer jobs and fiercer competition as automation shrinks the legal marketplace and raises client expectations.

As he marks his 20th year in the profession, South Florida attorney and author Francisco ‘Frank’ Ramos can’t remember a legal landscape this challenging.

‘More hands are chasing fewer bread crumbs and it’s just tough all over,’ Ramos says. ‘Law firms can pretty much hire and fire at will. And clients are putting a lot of pressure on firms to charge less and find more creative ways to bill. It’s become a lot more stressful environment.’”

A Digital Conversation with Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Attorney Mentor and Educator, & High-Stakes Litigator Frank Ramos

By Larry Ebner (Founder, Capital Appellate Advocacy PLLC)

“Francisco ‘Frank’ Ramos, Jr., is incredibly dedicated to mentoring, educating, and promoting his fellow attorneys throughout the United States and globally, and in so doing, advancing the legal profession. Frank’s service as Managing Partner at Clarke Silverglate, P.A. in Miami, where he participates in the firm’s high-end litigation practice, is just the beginning. He posts daily LinkedIn practice and business pointers for his more than 50,000 followers. He also has authored more than a dozen books, and edited others, on topics ranging from the legal process, to attorney marketing, to professional development of young lawyers, as well as published hundreds of articles for lawyers and business professionals. And Frank has recorded more than 90 podcasts in his ‘A Conversation With . . .’ series with members of DRI-The Voice of the Defense Bar.

After Frank recently recorded ‘A Conversation With . . . Larry Ebner’ about my career, appellate litigation practice, and professional interests, I was anxious to reverse the flow of questions by asking Frank about his myriad activities on behalf of the defense bar and the broader legal profession.”

Want to Create a Social Media Following? Here's How Miami Lawyer Frank Ramos Jr. Did It

By Raychel Lean (Reporter, Daily Business Review)

“It was the fall of 2016 when Clarke Silverglate managing partner Francisco “Frank” Ramos Jr. resolved to use his social media accounts to post lawyering tips and anecdotes every day, including weekends and holidays, reasoning that eventually it would became second nature.

Almost four years on, Miami litigator Ramos has 51,000 followers on LinkedIn, regularly features in legal webinars and podcasts and is working on his 16th book. And with a little perseverance, Ramos says anyone can replicate that success.”
