info_outlineThis weeks guest is Jeremy Cohen who describes himself as the luckiest lawyer on earth, because he runs a practice that helps pet dog owners by advocating for their pets rights.
Jeremy developed a great work ethic by helping out in his parents bakery, serving coffee, making bacon and running the till at just 8 years old!
He earned his way through high-school working part-time at a local roast beef restaurant, and continued this job as he followed his dad and brother into law school.
After passing the bar exam he worked in insurance for a number of years before starting up his own practise in 2018 servicing debt collection, which in Jeremys words is the lowest rung of the legal ladder.
A chance recommendation to help with a dog bite case sent Jeremy's career on a totally different path. He gradually did more and more work with pets until his collection business was sold, he went all in with Boston Dog Lawyers which enabled him to unleash his passion for helping pet dog owners and pet businesses.
In this enlightening interview you will discover;
- Why niching in the pet industry is one of the scariest but profitable decisions you will ever make!
- How Jeremy got addicted to saving dogs lives because it gives meaning to his role as a Lawyer.
- The customer service lessons Jeremy learned working at a drive through that he now applies to his legal practice.
- Why a thriving buisness is dependant upon the quality of clients, NOT the quantity of clients.
