Margaret worked with my firm to help manage and implement a range of firm improvement initiatives. Margaret advised and executed in areas ranging from partnership tracks and attorney compensation models to human resources and insurance organization and best practices. Margaret is an experienced law firm management professional who really cares. She was always available to jump in and get things done. Her experience at a high level helped us with the big picture while not losing track of the details. Margaret is a pleasure to work with and an expert in running a successful law firm. As a founder of a growing family law firm, I found her experience and willingness to roll her sleeves up, impactful and effective. Margaret and I continue to collaborate and I am thrilled to have her on my team.

I can't stress enough how much Margaret has transformed my law firm's Estate Planning practice. When I first started, I was struggling to manage my growing firm without losing my personal life. I desperately needed guidance in implementing procedures and structures to ensure success. The workload was overwhelming, and it was taking a toll on my personal life. That's when fate stepped in, and I was introduced to Margaret through a recruiter that I hired to find new staff. At first, I was hesitant about working with a consultant, but I decided to take a leap of faith and brought Margaret on board for a trial period. From the very beginning, I was blown away by her experience, dedication and genuine interest in my success. She went above and beyond to understand my goals and challenges, and in no time, she started making a significant impact.

As we embarked on this transition, we realized the importance in aligning our people, shaping a positive culture, and effectively announcing the launch of our new firm. Her deep understanding of the legal industry, coupled with her can-do attitude and professionalism has been instrumental. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Margaret, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.

Margaret Burke is the best law firm organizer I have ever met! She took charge of my transition when I joined Smith Buss & Jacobs LLP and moved from a solo firm into to a 40 plus organization with three different offices, Margaret set up checklists and procedures for all aspects of the move, to integrate our files, computers, billing, clients, announcements,, media coverage, the whole nine yards! She is a pleasure to work with, her staff is patient and helpful and I cannot recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and get a professional like Margaret when you have anything that needs a strong, competent organizational hand.

MB Law Firm Consulting did a fabulous job helping our firm host our very first out-of-office retreat. Margaret and Laurin helped us to hone in on what makes our firm unique and helped us to zero in on the "why" we provide the services we do. The retreat experience helped us to plan a roadmap for the upcoming year, including future personal and professional planning goals for all staff. It was a day well spent and my only regret is that I wish I found them sooner! Well worth the time and investment. I highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Margaret Burke and MB Law Firm Consulting for about six months last year, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the start, she took the time to understand our firm’s operations, goals, and challenges, and provided practical, well-thought-out guidance that we could actually implement. Margaret's insight into law firm management and growth strategies was incredibly valuable. She was extremely responsive, professional, and consistently brought new ideas and solutions to the table. Her recommendations and guidance have made a meaningful difference in how we approach several aspects of our practice.

I recently opened a solo law practice and can say with certainty that I would not have been able to do it without MB Law Firm Consulting. When I set out to create my firm, I knew my subject matter and the type of firm that I wanted to build. What I didn't know was how to build it or how much I didn't know yet.

Kirsty, Vienna and Ashton helped me identify priorities, anticipate obstacles and put the right infrastructure, processes and tools in place. I am incredibly grateful to this team.
