Advertising for Attorneys was invented by Mr. Harlan Schillinger and for that I am greatly indebted. It is a sincere joy to talk with him about the many different aspects of Attorney Advertising and how a volume practice requires a different set of Management skills that most Attorneys are not prepared for. Over the past few years we have discussed many different ways that Attorneys could grow their Practice with both Advertising and improved internal systems that would lead to overall exceptional growth. I recommend to anyone looking to grow their Law Firm to talk to Harlan first – and that’s probably all you’re going to need.

I’d like to commend Harlan on his efforts and abilities. I’ve known Harlan for about 7 years and have come to understand that there are very few people within the legal personal injury world who know, and care, as much as Harlan Schillinger.

Every year, he is an integral part of organizing the National Trial Lawyers Summit where some of the most well known attorneys in the country are in attendance. And every year he provides a wealth of knowledge, expertise and guidance for those attorneys/law firms looking to expand or refine their practice.

Thank you Harlan for always bringing insight, substance and value.

I have had the opportunity to work with Harlan on mutual client projects, have see him speak at numerous events and have contacted him numerous times just to pick his brain and get his expertise. He is always open and willing to share what he knows and help anyone who asks.

I’ve known Harlan for many years, almost as long as I was at AAJ (19 years); he was our main point of contact for purchasing advertising and other such services from us. Harlan is a very astute marketing professional, as well as a tough but fair negotiator. When you spoke with Harlan, you had to be on your toes and know your stuff, because he knew every nuance of his business and yours. The best thing about working with Harlan was his incredibly positive attitude about his business, and his excitement over what he did in his job every single day. It’s hard to find someone who is that dedicated to what he does – and I know this carries over into serving his clients of Network Affiliates as well. This is a man you want on your side!

Harlan is an true original. While I would say he is terrific salesman, he doesn’t really sell. He creates opportunity. And when he does, people tend to jump at it. Harlan knows his market and he knows who and what he’s talking about. He can recite the latest market trends at the drop of a hat. The other great thing about Harlan is that he knows the importance of having a life outside the office. And he’s pretty good at that, too. I truly enjoyed working with Harlan and look forward to doing it again real soon.

Almost immediately his passion for his profession was demonstrated reflected in his sincere interest in how our small, privately owned Physical Therapy clinic was doing in the ever changing world of healthcare. He quickly was able to pinpoint some things we could change easily, resulting in an increase in patient referrals. Since then, we have taken his advise to the next level and have experienced significant growth and, what is more important, are building an excellent name in the (healthcare) community. I cannot thank Harlan enough for opening my eyes to the importance of marketing and everything related to it!
