Ken Hardison is the founder and president of PILMMA (Personal Injury Lawyers Marketing and Management Association). He is an attorney who built not one, but two multi-million-dollar law firms before selling them at age 52. Ken created PILMMA to share his attorney trade secrets to build a profitable and successful law practice. Rooted in a deep-felt commitment to help lawyers avoid the mistakes and pitfalls Ken encountered while building his own firms – his goal remains the same: “To help as many lawyers as possible create the practice of their dreams.
