New Law Business ModelReviews of newlawbusinessmodel.com

I joined New Law Business Model in 2020 when I transitioned from a 25-year career as a personal injury attorney into estate planning. That's a significant pivot — not just legally, but in terms of how you run a practice and think about your role as a business owner. NLBM gave me the structure I didn't know I needed. The core membership offers real substance: a framework for building an estate planning practice that is client-centered and sustainable, monthly business coaching check-ins, and access to a genuinely warm and engaged community of attorneys who are navigating the same path. The Facebook group is active and supportive, and the live educational events throughout the year are worth attending — both for the content and for the connections you make. What I appreciated most was NLBM's philosophy of a heart-centered law practice — one that doesn't consume your entire life. That resonated with me, and I believe their systems and guidance genuinely reflect that value. Like anything, results require real effort on your part. But if you're an attorney considering estate planning and you want a proven framework, community, and coaching to help you build something meaningful, NLBM is worth a serious look.

NLBM fell into my lap at a time I needed it the most, and didn't really even know yet to what extent at the time. Prior to getting started, I was initially worried about whether the promises of the program were too good to be true and worth the investment, but NLBM has delivered above and beyond every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about the support and resources they provide to their members, particularly where they are new to estate planning and running a business. While the initial process of being certified as a PFL and passing the assessment feels a bit overwhelming at times, it is definitely doable. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is how things are bifurcated between pre and post assessment. I understand how they want people to be focused on passing the assessment and doing plans the PFL way, but its difficult to get the full picture and start setting up your business and get the tools you need lined up when you aren't given access to all the information. I also feel like most business coaches are remote and in different time zones that don't cater well to west-coast participants which can mean finding time on the calendar that actually doesn't interfere with your time blocked calendar difficult.

Everyone was so responsive to help. There was a plethora of resources.

I have been participating as a certified PFL for more than a year now while struggling with family situations and other stuff preventing me from succeeding. but - last week -From my pilates class I met a woman (Tia) who is a tax preparer and financial (series 7) adviser – We got to chatting and she told me about her clients who actually own property in Hawaii – and have an offshore trust into which they conveyed the property to protect it from liability – but Tia is preparing the IRS return forms and asking questions – so she brought her clients to meet with me – On Monday Yes, they have an offshore trust and several LLCs “in the trust” and land “in the trust” for which they paid some internet lawyer group $40 thousand dollars they Showed me everything – There is an offshore trust And in this offshore trust – there is $ 1 dollar So they have hired me to renovate and fix all of this – and are happy to work with me on my flat fee agreements – offered – WITH CONFIDENCE, Maia – and they did not bat an eye. So, I am learning a lot about owning and protecting real property in Hawaii – client’s grandparents and before -- owned the property before Hawaii became a state! And, Today - Maia – I told you I undercharged these clients who came in today to have me review their wills – And they have hired me flat fee for $3500 to fix their paperwork so it works And They are hiring me to prepare an LAPT for $5K – again, offered WITH CONFIDENCE So thank you both and Ali and all the educators – I think this is starting to “work for me” -- a good day. And a good week IMPROVEMENT Thank you! Amy

New Law Business Model provides clarity, structure, and steady support that keeps lawyers from feeling lost or overwhelmed. The program is built with care, integrity, and a deep commitment to client‑centered practice. Complex legal concepts are broken down into clear, digestible modules, making estate planning accessible even without prior experience. Yaasha Sabba is an exceptional instructor who explains sophisticated legal matters with precision and practicality. David Rowan’s consistent encouragement and coaching are invaluable, and Ali’s leadership is evident in her constant focus on improving the program and providing better tools to make both law practice and business more manageable. I am deeply grateful for this program and would highly recommend it. By teaching lawyers how to truly set themselves apart, NLBM creates real job security and positions practitioners for long‑term success despite increasing competition.

When I first considered starting my own law practice, I was unsure about everything, from how to structure the business to how to confidently charge what my work was worth. Joining New Law Business Model gave me the tools, structure, and confidence to gradually build a practice that I truly enjoy. The program provides excellent ongoing education, and the opportunity to learn from other practitioners who are building their practices as well. The 1:1 and group coaching are extremely valuable. They help me understand that the ups and downs of running a law practice are normal, which kept me from panicking during the early stages and allowed me to stay focused on building the practice the right way. Perhaps the biggest change for me was gaining confidence in my pricing. I went from being hesitant to charge a mid-premium rate to comfortably charging the suggested rates and even beyond as my practice developed. I am very grateful for the support, mentorship, and community the program provides. It truly helped me create a practice that aligns with the work I enjoy and the clients I want to serve.

It seems that some attorneys actually do get some benefit from NLBM. I did not. And from the reviews here, a lot of other attorneys did not as well. It is very expensive and the program seems to be just recorded conversations or transcripts of Ali (the founder) talking. Same for most of the written material. The training sessions were minimally effective in my humble opinion. Of course they may have updated their material since I was part of the program. The cost/benefit analysis for me just didn't work and I quit after one year. Be careful and do not let the auto renewal get you because then you'll be on the hook for another year's worth. Unfortunately, as Ali once mentioned it was a very very expensive learning experience (thousands of dollars, five figures worth). What I learned, going forward, is to be very very careful when you commit to paying five figure sums of money. There are other alternatives that don't fleece you like NLBM. And there are other means to learn how to run a law practice that will not hamper you with the amount of money they take from you (willingly and by contractual obligations that you do not want to breach especially if you are just beginning in the estate planning field.) Good luck. Added 03/30/2026... Yes I am human and indeed I was enrolled in your program. But I feel no need to re-live my experiences with your program by reaching out to you. It appears many other attorneys are satisfied with it from the positive reviews. But there are also others with similar experiences to mine. And prospective attorneys interested in your program should be able to read all reviews and make their own decisions.

I would not be where I am today in my wonderful estate planning practice without NewLaw. They are some of the best people and offer such a great and impactful experience for the lawyers that join. Ali and NewLaw have changed my life! So very thankful.
