In 2015 Kirby Gamblin Joseph founded Strategy4Success, a Law Practice Management Consulting group. Kirby provides consulting services to law firms interested in changing the way that they practice law. Kirby’s personal desire to create balance in her own life, without sacrificing law firm profitability, sparked her quest to improve the systems in her own law firm, motivate employees to be the best that they can be, and improve client services. This success led to the desire to help other law firms to achieve best practices to maximize law firm potential and success without sacrificing client services. She has developed systems and formulas that have improved efficiency, and has developed compensation systems that reward hard work while acknowledging that today’s employees seek greater work/life balance. She is an expert in law firm management, revenue generation, law firm systems, strategic planning, branding and marketing, employee hiring and retention, and management systems. She is asked to speak frequently both locally and nationally on law firm practice management and represents law firms of all sizes throughout the United States.
In addition to her rewarding career, Kirby is the mother of two sets of twins, and enjoys participating in their activities, volunteering at their schools, donating her time to nonprofit work, cooking, traveling, and outdoor activities.
