Patrick D. Kelly is a lawyer and the Chief Executive Officer of one of his former clients.  During his career in private law practice with a top 100 law firm, Pat served for ten years as the managing member of one of the firm's largest offices, was elected to the firm's executive committee for three terms and served as "marketing partner."  In these various positions, Pat worked with many young professionals and observed firsthand the challenges that they face in developing a book of business.

        Pat faced those same challenges after graduating from law school and searched for resources to help him develop the competitive edge that he needed.  Nothing was available.  It was at this time that he conceived the idea of writing a book that focused on practical ideas that anyone could implement to develop a client base.

        Pat has drawn on his twenty years of legal practice, service as general counsel to a governor and leadership positions on numerous boards and commissions to create his book Rainmaking 101.
