For attorneys seeking additional revenue sources in their practice, joining the ARAG attorney network offers a supplemental stream of clients with no fees to join or participate. In fact, some attorneys have even described their experience with ARAG as a “side-hustle.”
The experiences of solo practice attorneys Patience Kaysee, Kaysee Legal Group, Georgia, and Dorothy Paul, The DP Law Firm, Georgia, illustrate how adding ARAG as a side-hustle can be a game-changer for solo practitioners and small firms.
Building a Foundation for New Legal Services
Starting a solo practice brings excitement – but also uncertainty about building a client base. Traditional marketing efforts can fall short, prompting attorneys to seek alternative solutions. For example, joining the ARAG attorney network provided a way to attract new clients with no fees and build momentum for Patience and Dorothy.
Dorothy said, “The impact of receiving ARAG clients early on, with no fees for the referral, was crucial to gaining momentum as a solo attorney.” It allowed her to focus on delivering quality legal work rather than worrying about marketing and how to pay the bills.
Patience echoed similar sentiments, adding that because ARAG network attorneys can choose the practice areas they receive cases in, “ARAG helped me ’niche down’ into the practice areas I enjoy most.” This flexibility helped her build confidence and expertise in the areas where she wanted to expand her practice, like real estate and immigration law.
ARAG as a Side-Hustle for Attorneys
For attorneys seeking a secondary revenue generator, ARAG requires zero fees to join or participate, and guaranteed payments for covered matters. Patience and Dorothy both found the payment system to be straightforward and consistent, ideal for those building a solo practice or small firm.
ARAG’s clear fee structure allows Dorothy to reliably predict revenue from ARAG cases, which in turn ensures her time is optimized. And Patience appreciates that ARAG pays attorneys directly for covered matters, removing the hassle of chasing down client payments. Whether handling quick-turnaround cases or more complex matters, ARAG provides a flexible and clear-cut way to earn extra revenue without impacting the rest of your practice.
Advice for Attorneys Considering ARAG
Dorothy’s advice is simple: “Just try it! There’s no downside – no fees to join. You’re going to get paid. It’s a great way to be exposed to a new group of potential clients.
“Don’t spend so much time being anxious about money and being able to pay the bills. Put the energy into being a good attorney and doing good work – because then the money will follow.”
Patience added “ARAG offers attorneys the opportunity to service a wide range of practice areas and clients, helping us discover what kind of lawyer we want to be and how to manage our time effectively.”
ARAG has proven to be a valuable supplemental source of clients for attorneys like Patience and Dorothy. It offers flexibility, supplemental revenue and new clients to grow your practice without spending time and money finding clients yourself.
