About Brita

Hi, I’m Brita Long and I am an attorney, Amazon bestselling author, teacher/coach, entrepreneur and all-around happy person.

Brita Long

For over 22 years I practiced law and saw how peoples lives, including other attorneys, were negatively affected by complexity, a lack of purpose and a miss match between what they said was important in their life vs what their behavior showed was important in their life.

I myself struggled for many years to create a life that fit me and that I love. A life of being honest with myself (or at least giving it a good go), valuing myself and my work, and being true to myself.

So now I teach/coach other attorneys on how they too can identify and then reduce or eliminate the thought patterns, and behavior that is getting in their way and preventing them from living the life they truly want to live.

If you are ready to begin crafting a life that fits you and that is absolutely superb then let’s get started.

For Attorneys

I am an AV rated attorney who helps other attorneys live a simpler, more authentic, and fulfilling life through teaching what I know. And when I say “know” I mean up, down, left, right and center.

In 2018 I began writing my first book and found that I loved writing, speaking and teaching. So, after over 22 years of practicing law I took a sabbatical from practicing law and started writing, teaching and building The Happier Attorney. I also focused on my own personal development.

I know flat fees, mindset, and personal development.

I know flat fees. I used flat fees for well over a decade, including in family law litigation. As with anything new there were issues. I made the mistakes, so you don’t have to. I addressed the issues, learned from them, and developed a method in which I never worked over 25 hrs a week and still brought in 35k + a month. Had I wanted to work 40+ hrs a week or more my income as a solo practitioner could have easily topped over a million a year.

With some simple strategies and to do’s, you can start getting paid for your judgment, your knowledge, and your superior work product, not how many hours you spend drafting a pleading. You will be able to leverage your experience to make more money than you have dreamed possible without working ½ of what you are used to working. No more working in the evenings or on the weekends unless you really want to.

Through my YouTube channel, coaching membership program, and my speaking engagements, I teach other attorneys how to not only simplify their practice and life, but to create a life that fits them and that they love. While being honest with themselves, addressing any self-sabotage, and learning how to see things perhaps in a different light in order to address any issues that get in their way.

I have been practicing since 1997 and am licensed in both Washington State and Texas. I have had my own practice since 2000. I currently live and practice in Seguin Texas.

As far as what you can expect from me, I tell it like it is, try and keep things as simple as possible, swear every now and again, and at times will challenge you to dig deeper and create a life you never dreamed was possible.
