Unique Honor Given To Law Firm Management Expert
California State Bar’s Law Practice Management and Technology Section Gives Out Their First Lifetime Achievement Award

Venice, CA: (November 3rd, 2010) – Edward Poll, principle of LawBiz® Management, received the honor of the first ever Lifetime Achievement Award given by the California State Bar’s Law Practice Management and Technology (LPMT) Section. The award, which was named after him, was given due to his extraordinary level of service, enthusiasm, and vocal advocating for small firms and solo practitioners.

“Ed deserves the award because he epitomizes what this section is about,” says Robert Brownstone, the chair of the LPMT executive committee. “He has such a tremendous amount of experience and displays so much genuine passion to give back to the legal community. He’s been a mentor to all of us.”

The LPMT section, which has been operating for nearly 32 years, works to help lawyers practice more profitably and ethically. It’s the only section in the California State Bar that focuses solely on the practical aspects of growing a law practice.

The section’s committee is composed of 15 members as well as a few Special Advisor positions. Each year, the Special Advisor positions are open to committee election. For the last five years Ed has served as a Special Advisor. The reason for his continued participation is largely due to his extensive knowledge and commitment to promoting outstanding practice management.

In over 25 years of experience as a practicing attorney, Poll has lectured at UCLA and done countless speaking, coaching, and training engagements. He’s written over a dozen books and is a syndicated columnist for the Lawyers Weekly publications. He is one of the most active members in the legal profession on the web, posting regular YouTube videos, Blawg entries, and newsletters. Poll’s efforts have literally helped thousands of lawyers create more rewarding practices.

“I was surprised and extremely honored to have received the award,” says Poll. “It was very humbling to be honored by the committee and to have the award named after me. This is truly one of my greatest achievements!”
