Integrity First: Why We Refunded a Lawyer Who Took Our Course

This is what's needed in 2025 to build EEAT:

‍

When I started 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer, I knew I wanted to do things differently. Not just in how we teach estate planning, but in how we run the business.

‍

There’s a lot of noise in this space. Big promises, slick marketing, and — let’s be honest — some questionable business practices. Some coaches flat-out disallow refunds under any circumstances. You pay thousands of dollars, and if it’s not the right fit? Too bad.

‍

We believe in doing things differently.

‍

From day one, I made it clear: if you buy our Signature Course and it’s not what you expected, we’ll give you your money back. No hard feelings. No hoops to jump through. Just a simple, human policy that treats people with respect.

‍

We’ve sold over 550 spots in the course over the last three years. And until last week, not a single person had ever asked for a refund.

‍

Then someone did.

‍

They weren’t upset or difficult — the course just wasn’t right for them. So I issued the refund the same day. Not because I’m sitting on a giant pile of cash that makes refunds painless (I’m not), and not because the course isn’t valuable (it is). I did it because I gave my word.

‍

And that still means something to me.

‍

That’s how we operate. That’s how we’ll always operate.

‍

We’ll be opening enrollment for our September cohort soon. If you’ve been on the fence about learning estate planning, join one of our upcoming sales calls to see how 2HLL helps lawyers launch a virtual estate planning practice they can run from anywhere.
