Things Marshall Believes
  1. Lawyers with ADHD will dramatically change the legal profession—for the better—in the next 10 years.
  2. Lawyers are behind the curve in running law firms as businesses. They work too hard, with too little relief, for too little reward.
  3. The legal profession has largely ignored lawyers with ADHD. That has exacted a huge toll from real people and our profession as a whole.
  4. ADHD lawyers see new ways to improve in places other lawyers often don’t. They help law businesses operate and succeed more like other, non-legal, businesses do.
  5. Law firms employing ADHD lawyers reap sizeable rewards from their novel problem solving, eye for gaps, and creativity about how to fill them.
  6. Habits are the only thing that create lasting change in our lives and our businesses (thank you, James Clear).
  7. Hourly billing is (almost always) terrible for everyone involved.
Facts about Marshall Lichty
  1. I once stabbed myself in the forearm with a utility knife while all alone at 1:30am. I fixed it with duct-tape.
  2. I remember the night Tupac died.
  3. I love a good crowd, but two of the most embarrassing moments of my life have been on stage.
  4. I’ve sent the perfect email.
  5. I’ve helped save a boy from a bear attack.
  6. I’ve held a grown man’s fake eyeball in my hand.
  7. I’ve held a different grown man’s severed big toe in my hand.
  8. I have crippling imposter syndrome.
  9. I picked on a kid named Dale when I was in 1st grade, and I feel shame about it at least once per week.

Quotes & Testimonials
Marshall was enthusiastic and energetic and kept the audience’s attention throughout the presentation even though they had eaten a full lunch beforehand. From an event organizer standpoint, Marshall was prompt in getting me the information I needed for our registration notice and brochure; he arrived ahead of schedule on the day of the presentation and was ready to go on time. Marshall took the time to answer questions from the audience afterwards but didn’t go over his allotted time allowing us to keep on schedule. Overall, it was a great experience and I would look forward to having Marshall speak at a future event.
