Let's face it...
We know you're unhappy being a lawyer. We've been there too,
and we know how you feel...
You're sick and tired of...
-
Feeling trapped and doomed to be a lawyer forever.
-
Feeling incompetent in your role as a lawyer.
-
Doubting your own abilities and skills to the point that you don't ever think they'll be transferable to a job outside of law.
We know what you're thinking:
All I feel I can do is be a lawyer...
These are common worries. You've spent time, money, blood, sweat and tears to become a lawyer. And now you might feel like you've invested too much of those things to not keep doing it even though you hate your profession. You might have even enjoyed law school, but being a lawyer is the bane of your existence. You may hesitate to leave the law because you feel you don't want to lose your identity as an attorney.
How will I pay the bills if I'm not an attorney?
Your salary as an attorney is dependent upon a lot of factors, but you probably feel like you couldn't make money ANY other way. You might even feel like it's simply not possible with your large sum of student debt. You likely feel that you can't make any real money in a job outside of the law. That the only way to make money is to be an attorney. But there are multiple ways you can make as much, or even more, out of the law.
I wouldn't know where to start if I left law...
You feel it in your bones, that being a lawyer is NOT for you, but where would you even start? You've wanted to give it all up and pursue a higher purpose but you're stuck. While many professionals, and especially attorneys like you, may feel bored or frustrated or anxious with their current job, research shows they don't even know where to begin to find a career they love.
And maybe you constantly ask yourself questions like...
-
Can I really be happy in a career out of the law, or is that a pipe dream?
-
Will I burn bridges if I leave the law?
-
Everyone knows me as a lawyer, what if I lose my identity?
-
What would my strengths even be outside the law?
It's possible to leave the law, be successful, and feel better...
You honestly don't have to feel like your law career is sucking your soul. Your future could be as bright as you make it!
Feel EXCITED
Imagine feeling excited about what you actually do. Every single day.
Feel RESPECTED
Imagine being respected and proficient in the job of YOUR choosing.
Feel HAPPY
Imagine feeling HAPPY and never having "Sunday night anxiety" from your job ever again.

I was anxious about leaving the security of the law behind, but now I earn even more money than I did as a lawyer. My "lawyer" skills have been a perfect fit for these "non-law' jobs - I've been promoted three times and my career growth upside seems limitless... On top of that, I am a much happier, calmer and motivated person. I even look forward to work on Mondays!
Like a lot of people, I went to law school because it was the thing to do.
The programs are so well organized and the community is so incredible that I'm simply thankful that LLB gave me my life back!

I knew within the first month of law school that law wasn't for me. By following the Modules step by step, I was able to quickly learn and build on Casey’s leave the law concepts with minimal questions or frustration.

Founder
Casey Berman
Casey Berman (University of California, Hastings College of the Law ’99) is the founder of Leave Law Behind, a career coaching program to help attorneys transition out of the law and land “non-law”, alternative careers.
Leave Law Behind grew out of the reality that not every lawyer should continue to practice law … and that an attorney’s skill set can be applied to other industries to add value. Leave Law Behind helps attorneys who want to leave the law to showcase how their “legal” skills are actually transferable to alternative, non-law job in which they can add value and create a new life for themselves.
Casey Berman graduated University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1999 and after five years of software licensing and transactional work, he left law behind to create a number of different enterprises.
The Hastings career services office asked him to speak about his professional experience in branching out from the law in July 2009 during its summer speaking series. After speaking to a packed room of lawyers and law students, Casey hatched another business idea – Leave Law Behind.
Since then, from his home base in San Francisco, He's been on a mission to help other unhappy, unfulfilled attorneys create their own alternative, dream careers out of the law like he has. He's helped hundreds of people through their course, LEAVE LAW BEHIND.
Head trainer
Adam Oullette
Adam practiced law for 20 years in South Florida (Ft Lauderdale), until he realized that he wanted to follow his heart and connect with his true life purpose.
Adam practiced real estate law, real estate litigation, family law, guardianship, business litigation, business law, and commercial real estate, commercial real estate closings. He represented lenders and banks in their residential and commercial closings, contract law, wills, trusts and probate.
For many year he worked as a lawyer and it wasn't fulfilling until he decided to start focusing on what he loved doing, and the world opened up!
Despite the nice income, Adam had done it all and was bored working in the law! He began to have some amazing success and decided to listen to his intuition and teach others full time through online videos and classes.
He is what some would call a “student of life,” since he was always asking questions about life, business, and the law on an everyday basis. As a result, he read thousands of books (usually 3 to 5 a week), went to any seminar he had time for and took a bunch of online classes.
The key was not just studying a bunch of stuff, but IMPLEMENTING those strategies into his life. He's part of the LLB team to share with you all he's learned and how you can use it to move toward your ideal life in every way.
Is this honestly even for me?
This course is obviously for ANYBODY that's actually ready to leave the law profession, however we always want to make sure everyone's a good fit.
This coaching and course IS
for you if:
-
You're unhappy practicing law
Law might tick boxes, or give you income, but you still feel unhappy practicing. You wonder why you can't just "learn to like your job" but it's your source of anguish.
-
You're lost on how to begin changing careers
You feel like you've lost direction. You're tired of floating through life and you can't get your bearings.
-
You feel incompetent in your job as a lawyer
The feeling of incompetence you have in your job is unbearable and you absolutely hate it.
-
You KNOW there is a better way to live
You might know that there's a way out of law, you just don't know which way is the right way.
-
You know NOW is the time to act
You know that decisions are meant to be taken and when it comes to your own happiness, the decisions you take are even more important.
-
You dream about not being a lawyer
If you literally wake up from dreams about your life out of law, then it goes without saying that this course is for you. We literally have plenty of students in this category!
This coaching and course is NOT for you if:
-
You don't want to do the work
You think this is going to be easy, and you want everything handed to you. That type of mindset won't work in this course. You're not a good fit.
-
Complaining is an artform for you
We LOVE and value open communication but you won't be successful if you view this community as a place to only vent.
-
You're looking for a quick fix
You want results quick and think this is the quick-fix to all of life's problems. It's not. Life is hard, and while we have some amazing students that have gotten quick results, they've worked incredibly hard to do so. Nothing can fix you but you.
-
You're chasing shiny objects
You might not be sure you want to leave your job in law and the idea of this course is something entertaining just like the other 20 courses you purchased last year. If you lack focus and commitment, this course is not for you.
-
You'd rather be right than happy
This course is life changing. We push each other to challenge our beliefs. If you are resistant to being self-reflective, then this course is not for you.
Frequently asked questions
You've got questions? Well, we've got answers!
How do I start to leave the law?
A good place to start is right here on this page. Check out the video at the top of the page that explains, in detail, how to land a dream career outside of the law.
Why can't I do this on my own?
You can do whatever you want. If you want to leave the law and could have done so on your own, wouldn't you already have done it? We are here to offer you guidance and support throughout your journey. To show you how WE did it, so that you can do it yourself
How will I ever find out what non-lawyer job is right for me?
In our course we give you a formula that will help you overcome your fears of leaving the law and provide you with resources and materials on how to find your transferable skills and align those skills with non-law jobs using our exact steps.
What if I feel I need some one-to-one or group career coaching?
Personal Leave Law Behind coaching is always available.
You can sign-up anytime, whenever you need it (for an additional fee) for one-to-one coaching with me, Casey, or attend one of our exclusive Leave Law Behind group Live Trainings & Office Hours. We are with you each step of the way.
What if I've got too much work and need to take a break from the course and coaching?
Well, the beauty of Leave Law Behind Program is that it’s fully accessible from anywhere at anytime, and you can do it at your own pace.
I don't want my boss or anyone to know I'm looking for a job outside of law. Is this program confidential?
No one needs to know you are enrolled in the Leave Law Behind course. If you do not want to join the Members Forum or Live Training (and connect with other LLB Members), you do not need to. Or you can join the Forum and Live Training under your initials or other non-self-identifying "handle" and just read and review the content.
Am I too old (or too young) to even consider leaving the law?
You're never too old or young to make a change with your best interest at heart. Don't let age stop you from getting into a career you'd love.
Will I be guaranteed to leave the law?
We can’t promise you specific results for your career change in a specific timeframe. Nobody can. And I’m not sure I’d trust anyone who does make this type of promise.
Why?
Because I have no idea what level of experience you’re starting at. And I have no idea how much effort you’re going to put into this program. We all start this process at different stages, with different mindsets and different levels of energy and desire. If you’re disciplined, methodical, and follow the baby steps we’ve laid out, you will likely see results.
What I can promise you is that with the Leave Law Behind course, you truly can leave your law practice for a “non-law” job career you love.
But I can also promise you that if you purchase the program and never even spend a single hour going through the course, you aren’t going to make any progress in leaving the law and changing your life for the better. I hope that’s obvious.
Like I said, this isn’t some “get rich quick” or scheme.
It all comes down to taking action.
I'll say it again: You do have to put in effort if you want to see results with the Leave Law Behind course.
The good news is it’s a lot easier to put in effort when you’ve got the help of a well-designed, premium step-by-step course that does the majority of the “heavy lifting” for you.
How much time do I have to dedicate to this program?
As much time as you want. That’s the beauty of the Leave Law Behind course.
Our goal with this course is to give you the structure, information, and tools you need to leave the law and create a “non-law, alternative” career that supports you and your lifestyle.
But if you want to start out leaving the law in your free time (even if that's just 5 hours a week) then that is perfectly fine.
Sure, you'll advance quicker by investing more time and effort into leaving the law, but it's always better to build some momentum than to put it off and wait for the "perfect time." Because sadly, that perfect time will never happen.
You can start leaving the law in your free time… whether that’s after work… or even on the weekends.
Eventually, you will gain more and more momentum in leaving the law, and in turn will tan to start dedicating a serious amount of time to it.
What if I have no experience with non-law careers, or self-development or career transition?
If you knew all that … what would you need the Leave Law Behind course for?
We designed the program specifically so that it would work with unhappy attorneys leaving the law for the first time.
Now, at the same time, the material we cover inside the course is some of the most in-depth, advanced, and valuable material we have ever released.
But we made sure to include content that will get you up to speed in no time, even if you've never dabbled finding an “alternative” career.
In the Leave Law Behind course we give you the “formula” for things like overcoming your fears of leaving the law, how to feel more comfortable with a new professional identity, understanding your transferable skills and what “non-law” jobs are out there beyond transactional work and litigation roles.
It’s as simple as following our step-by-step instructions in our videos and our worksheets that give you the exact actions to take.
What happens after I sign up?
After you enroll in the Leave Law Behind course, you'll get instant access to all of the contents on the course immediately! Adam will also reach out to you so you can book your first coaching call.
We specifically designed this as a 10 Module step-by-step course, where we give you bite-sized chunks of information to consume ... along with the necessary simple assignments so that taking action is not only easy ... but becomes a habit.
