What was the main reason you almost didn't work with Lisa Fraley?

The #1 reason I almost didn't join Lisa Fraley was because as someone who had never started my own medical practice and business, I didn't really understand how much I needed to have the support of a lawyer, and try to figure things out.

How effective are the resources and templates she provides?

Her templates are easy to integrate into your practice. She really answers the questions that you're already thinking. And sometimes she even answers questions that you don't know you need to know.

What would you say to someone on the fence about working with her?

I 100% recommend that you start working with her. She will definitely let you know if she can help you, and if you are a good fit for her practice. She's just not going to take you on to take on more clients. She's really going to give you the reality of what your practice needs when it comes to law.
