Attendee testimonials
Here’s what some of our past attendees have to say.
Many years ago, Chris Munley had the vision to create the ATLAS Conference, long before legal consulting groups, coaching programs, and mastermind organizations became commonplace. Chris recognized that successful law firms needed a forum where lawyers could come together to openly exchange ideas, challenges, and solutions regarding management, marketing, technology, and growth.
What began as an innovative idea has evolved into a remarkable community. ATLAS remains true to its original mission: helping lawyers become better business leaders and better stewards of their firms. There is no hidden agenda, only a genuine commitment to sharing knowledge and elevating the profession.
Each year I attend several seminars sponsored by different organizations. I recently attended my first, but hopefully not my last, ATLAS Lawyers conference.
ATLAS was an extremely well-run, well-organized three-day conference that covered many areas of great importance to my office. For example, some of the segments included insightful ideas on how to get more injury cases without incurring large advertising expenditures, personal injury law firm management, meaningful and state-of-the-art web marketing techniques, new case and project ideas, and “Ghost Calling” intake staff (which we have done successfully in the past).
If that wasn’t enough, the Munleys treated everyone like family. Chris is an excellent moderator who kept everything upbeat — he has real potential as a stand-up comic.
As a result of the conference, I went to my New York office, notes in hand, for a full-day meeting with my key staff and started to implement many of the ideas I came away with.
I tip my hat to the Munleys — great job. I’m looking forward to being invited back.
The ATLAS Lawyers conference in Phoenix was one of the best I have ever attended. I have been to over 75 conferences during the past 20 years, and ATLAS is comfortably in my top 10. The program was interesting and entertaining, and it gave me plenty of new ideas to take back to the office and use immediately in our marketing and management departments.
It is always a pleasure hearing the ATLAS family’s insight into what is happening in the industry. It is this real-time connection that allows us to continue to grow and flourish in a down economy, and in a profession that is under constant attack.
I have been attending ATLAS conferences and seminars for small law firms since the days when law firm advertising was primarily done through phone books. Over the years, I have consistently found their conferences to be informative, relevant, and well worth attending. They bring together great speakers who understand the challenges of marketing and growing a law firm.
What I appreciate most is that the information is practical. I make it a point to take what I learn at these conferences and incorporate it into our day-to-day practice—because if you attend a conference but never put what you learn into action, what is the point?
The strategies and ideas I have picked up over the years have helped improve our daily practices, increase our firm’s exposure, and attract better-quality cases. I always leave with something useful that I can bring back to the office and implement.
What sets Chris and ATLAS apart is the honesty. Chris is an open book about what’s working in his firm today, and what isn’t. It’s not a vendor pitchfest. It’s a room full of lawyers who run real firms, comparing notes. Bring a list of the problems you’re working through in your own practice. Someone in the room has dealt with them before.
ATLAS Lawyers was fantastic! Thank you for all the hard work that went into planning it.
ATLAS Lawyers is a more relaxed conference that’s easy to enjoy and is a nice change of pace from some of the larger legal conferences. The atmosphere is fun, and it’s easy to connect and network with other attorneys. Good speakers and useful takeaways.
I very much enjoyed attending the ATLAS Lawyers conference! Thanks for putting it together.
Attending an ATLAS Lawyers conference is a must for personal injury attorneys. ATLAS gives you the chance to network with peers throughout the country and pick up valuable practice tips for maximizing your clients’ recoveries. It also provides access to vendors that offer cutting-edge technology that not only makes your practice more efficient but also increases the value of settlements and verdicts for your clients. Chris Munley and his team put on an interesting, informative, and action-packed program that really hits all the right notes. I cannot recommend ATLAS Lawyers enough.
I have been attending ATLAS Lawyers conferences across the country for more than ten years, and I have taken something positive and useful away from every conference. Whether it is a new idea for managing or marketing my practice, a vendor I later began using in my office, or simply a fresh perspective on running a law firm, the programs have always provided real value. ATLAS has also given me the opportunity to develop strong professional relationships and to meet new people who understand the challenges of operating a successful firm. The conferences strike a good balance of education, networking, and camaraderie, and the social events are always genuinely enjoyable. ATLAS is more than just a legal conference — it is an opportunity to improve your practice, build meaningful relationships, and have a great time while doing it.
I’ve been to several ATLAS Lawyers conferences now, and I have gotten something useful out of every single one. What I like about ATLAS is that it isn’t the typical conference where you sit through presentations, take a few notes, and never think about them again.
My firm has grown quite a bit over the last several years, and some of that growth can be directly attributed to things I learned about or relationships I made through ATLAS. Whether it was software that made the office run better, a new way to market the firm, or a vendor I otherwise never would have known existed, I have always come home with something I could apply right away. You develop relationships with people who are facing the same challenges you are in running and growing a law firm.
There are plenty of legal conferences you can attend throughout the year. ATLAS is different. If you own a law firm and want practical ideas for making it run better and growing it, it is one of the few conferences I can say has had a real impact on my practice.
Thank you for a great conference. It always exceeds my expectations. You can be assured that I will attend the next one.
