Most people think you need billboards, TV ads, or a massive budget to build a law practice.
Chris Montes de Oca proved otherwise.
He started with no clients, no ads, and no connections—just grit, gratitude, and a willingness to outwork everyone else. Nearly two decades later, he’s resolved cases worth tens of millions, including a recent $45 million settlement.
In this AlderTalk episode, Chris and I talk about: 👉 How to grow a practice from zero through relationships and sweat equity 👉 Why trial experience (even in criminal defense) is the best training ground 👉 The mindset shifts that help lawyers handle pressure, setbacks, and big moments 👉 The role gratitude and resilience play in both practice and life
Chris’s journey is proof that small, consistent actions over time build the foundation for extraordinary results.
