"Building a Better Law Practice is written by a lawyer just like you. Mild-mannered, quietly knowledgeable, and generous, Jeremy Richter wrote an unassuming book that will save you years of grief without interrupting your day. Buy it. Take the five minutes a day to read it. You’ll thank me later."
- Ilonka Aylward, Aylward Family Law, North Carolina


"Some of the best advice in Jeremy Richter’s devotional to law practice boils down to (1) don’t lose your sense of humor, (2) common sense and work ethic are just as important in the long run as your knowledge of caselaw, (3) see Number 1. But don’t take my word for it: read the book!"
- Eli Edwards, Research Librarian at Santa Clara University School of Law
