Time is Money
by Jon Broder
Money is the most valuable thing to an attorney. Right?
I disagree. Time is the most valuable commodity to an attorney.
A potential client recently asked me how MyMotionCalendar would improve his practice. I asked him what his goals were for the year. He fumbled, he didn’t have a clear goal for the year. So I asked him if he wanted to make more money. He of course said “Yes.” I asked him how he intended to accomplish this goal. Again, he was vague in his response.
I then asked him how he spent his time. His answer was predictable: “It depends on the week and what I need to get done.” This was an excuse… Read more.

MyMotionCalendar CEO Jonathan Broder provides essential information to Claims Journal
Claims Journal Magazine, the nation’s foremost authority on the insurance industry, turned to Jonathan Broder to offer insight on ways insurance companies can reduce legal costs by use of contract counsel. The magazine printed his article “Contract Counsel Provide Fiscal Edge, Local Agility to Carrier, Law Firms” on its home page this month.
As the founder of MyMotionCalendar, Jon was able to offer compelling advice and information on how appearance attorneys can save significant dollars. Local lawyers offer excellent service in a far more economical business model.
“Companies and law firms have long used contract attorneys for document review projects and utilized overseas legal processing outsourcing services,” he writes. “The growing use of attorneys to provide ‘hearing coverage’ is a relatively new category of alternative legal services, but has long been used in certain practices…. The insurance industry is an ideal application for the use of appearance counsel. Claims arise in every market an insurer serves. Services that provide appearance counsel often oversee a national network of attorneys who are screened, qualified and experienced.”
Jon’s expertise and understanding of the legal industry crosses many industries. Claims Journal understood the value of his perspective. Read more here.
