Margaret advised and executed in areas ranging from partnership tracks and attorney compensation models to human resources and insurance organization and best practices. Margaret is an experienced law firm management professional who really cares. She was always available to jump in and get things done. Her experience at a high level helped us with the big picture while not losing track of the details. Margaret is a pleasure to work with and an expert in running a successful law firm.

Sallen Law, LLC
"I can't stress enough how much Margaret has transformed my law firm's Estate Planning practice. When I first started, I was struggling to manage my growing firm without losing my personal life. I desperately needed guidance in implementing procedures and structures to ensure success. The workload was overwhelming, and it was taking a toll on my personal life. That's when fate stepped in, and I was introduced to Margaret through a recruiter that I hired to find new staff. At first, I was hesitant about working with a consultant, but I decided to take a leap of faith and brought Margaret on board for a trial period. From the very beginning, I was blown away by her experience, dedication and genuine interest in my success. She went above and beyond to understand my goals and challenges, and in no time, she started making a significant impact."

Peridot Family Law
"MB Law Firm Consulting did a fabulous job helping our firm host our very first out-of-office retreat. Margaret and Laurin helped us to hone in on what makes our firm unique and helped us to zero in on the "why" we provide the services we do. The retreat experience helped us to plan a roadmap for the upcoming year, including future personal and professional planning goals for all staff. It was a day well spent and my only regret is that I wish I found them sooner! Well worth the time and investment. I highly recommend!"
