    Send us Fan Mail Shownotes can be found at https://www.profitwithlaw.com/554. Most attorneys would drop everything if $10 went missing from their bank account every day. Yet they're leaving $1,200 to $1,500 a day in earned, unbilled work on the table, and doing nothing about it. In this episode, Moshe welcomes back Brita Long, AV-rated attorney, flat fee coach, and author of The Happier Attorney. She has run her practice exclusively on flat fees for more than 15 years, even in family law litigation. Together they unpack why the math behind flat fees is only 5 to 10% of the problem, and what's really keeping lawyers chained to the billable hour.
