Kristen is a Los Angeles attorney who decided to use her extensive background in sales and marketing and her legal knowledge to help other lawyers. For the last 4 years, she has been running her business, Web Presence, Esq., a digital media marketing agency geared towards helping lawyers and other legal industry professionals build their online and offline presence in order to be competitive in today’s marketplace.

She dreamed of becoming a District Attorney all of her life but when the DA’s office went on a hiring freeze for a few years, Kristen’s dreams of getting one of those coveted positions were put to rest. So she accepted a transactional position while she waited for a DA position to open up but quickly realized that transactional legal work didn’t challenge or excite her at all. Not wanting to throw away everything she learned in law school, she decided to open her own business, Web Presence, Esq., where she helps lawyers and other legal industry professionals with their branding, marketing, and online presence. This also allowed her to incorporate her undergraduate degree in sales and marketing.

This is a must listen podcast for lawyers
June 10, 2019 by Dina Cataldo from United States
When I was a new lawyer, I didn't feel that I had the support I needed to flourish. This podcast is a great tool for all lawyers - new or seasoned - to begin taking their lives and their practices to the next level. It offers the support to lawyers that I believe more of us need in this profession.
Excellent podcast for lawyers!

This podcast is one of my favs. I get so excited when I see I have a new episode to listen to. The host’s energy is great and I like the style of interviewing. For me, sometimes it’s just nice to hear how other attorneys are living (and hopefully loving) their lives. A perfect balance of different ages, practice areas, and lifestyles represented.
Wow!!

Such great guests, and incredible topics that are covered. All very relative to what everyone is struggling with! The host does a great job of asking great questions as well
Love this show!

My very first podcast I ever listened to, and I still love it! Super energetic and informative. A definite favorite.
A Must Listen for any Entrepreneur Lawyer
November 12, 2018 by Dan Nguyen Esq from United States
TGYL podcast is a must listen to any an attorney that has their own practice or responsible for their own book of business. The guests are top notch and Karima does a great job as a host getting the best information out. I've heard a lot of information elsewhere, but when you hear it one more time from other colleagues in the trenches it has a little more weight behind it and easier for us to take action to take our practices to the next level.
Excellent podcast!

Informative, upbeat, and great podcast for the modern lawyer.
Great stuff - check it out

I work with unhappy lawyers, and it was my pleasure to be a guest on this podcast - I also took the opportunity to listen to a bunch of the other episodes and got hooked. Well worth your time - there's good, useful stuff here.
Great podcast

Even though I'm not a lawyer, I really like this podcast because the host asks questions that can apply to any entrepreneur or small business owner.
Great resource for young attorneys

Very powerful tips and content! Thanks for putting this out Nicole :)
Excellent BUT One Huge Problem
October 13, 2018 by Nietzsche66 from United States
Great content overall. However, the host is too often doing the absolute worst and most annoyingly thing possible for podcast listeners: uttering “yes” or “uh huh” or “yeah” or the like as the person being interviewed is speaking. Do NOT do this!! Just let them speak. I realize it’s a social habit that we use when speaking in a personal conversation, but it’s supremely distracting for listeners in a context such as this. Trust me on this one. You will notice that the best podcast hosts virtually never interrupt speakers/guests. Otherwise keep up the good work.
