ABOUT THE LAWYER
Liz Smith
Liz Smith’s hometown of Juneau, Alaska is remote. But NLBM helped Liz build her hybrid practice into one of the most sought after in the area.
THE PROBLEM
Far Out
Liz Smith began her career working for the State of Alaska, with grand hopes of being a longstanding public defender. Those hopes ended five years later, leaving her exhausted and needing a career change. She took a job as a health coach, while contemplating a private practice in the remote part of Alaska she lives in.
THE SOLUTION
Finding Her Place
Seeing the need in her city of Juneau, Alaska, for trusted estate planners and recognizing her own need for training, guidance, and help to build her practice, led Liz to find NLBM in 2019. She enrolled quickly, encouraged by both the program and the leadership of NLBM’s Founder, Ali Katz.
Liz began to build her practice, first in Juneau, then traveling to the neighboring towns and communities to serve a larger clientele base. Best of all, she was building the practice she wanted and using her time the way she knew was most beneficial to her clients and those she loved most.
THE OUTCOME
Success in the Wild
Liz has continued to grow her practice, expanding to five staff members and seeing an average of 15 clients per month at an average fee of over $4000 each. Most importantly, she loves her work and feels that she is making a difference in her community - incredible for a former public defender in one of the most remote parts of the world.
