Why I Founded the 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer™ Community

I want to share why I created the 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer™ (2HLL) community.

2HLL was born in 2022, not just from an idea, but from my reality.

By then, I had built a firm that worked — a thriving estate planning practice in ultra-competitive New York City. I had also transitioned my practice to a fully virtual model out of necessity during March 2020, and I saw firsthand that it could be done — and done well.

At first, I thought the mission would be simple: teach other lawyers the basics of estate planning and how to run a modern practice.

And for a while, that’s exactly what I did.

I gave them the tools, the templates, the workflows — everything that had helped me succeed.

But something became clear very quickly.

Lawyers needed more than materials.

They needed empowerment.

The truth is, most of what we teach — the technical pieces of estate planning, the mechanics of running a virtual firm — could probably be found online if someone looked hard enough.

What lawyers really needed was more than just information. They needed it curated, simplified, demystified. And more importantly, they needed it taught by someone who was living it — someone who could say, "I’ve been where you are, and here’s how you move forward."

One moment especially stays with me.

At the graduation of our recent Winter Cohort, a lawyer stood up and said:

"Before 2HLL, I didn’t feel like I had options. I didn’t feel like I had control over anything. Now, I feel empowered."

‍

I almost cried hearing that word: empowered. There’s no greater gift than helping another lawyer recognize their own potential — to see that they are capable, that they have options, and that they can create a career and a life that truly align with who they are.

At 2HLL, we’re here to empower every lawyer we work with, by providing the tools, the support, and the community they need to build a practice that fits their goals, their values, and their vision for their future.
