Darren Wurz is the founder and CEO of The Lawyer Millionaire®, a flat-fee, fiduciary advisory firm for law firm owners. He and his team manage both of an owner’s balance sheets together: the firm’s and the family’s. Business strategy, tax planning and personal wealth are handled in one engagement, not split across separate advisors.

He is the author of The Lawyer Millionaire: The Complete Guide for Attorneys on Maximizing Wealth, Minimizing Taxes, and Retiring with Confidence, published by the American Bar Association. He also hosts The Lawyer Millionaire Podcast, which is approaching 200 episodes on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Darren speaks regularly to bar associations, law firms and legal organizations nationwide, including CLE programs.

Darren built the firm around a gap he kept seeing. Law firm owners were advised by people who each saw only part of the picture. Investment advisors focused on the portfolio. Insurance agents focused on the policy. Business coaches focused on growth with little attention to tax or wealth. For most owners, the largest asset is the firm itself. The decisions that build their wealth happen inside it: pricing, payroll, profit and, eventually, the exit. His work follows The Three Conversions: turning a practice into profit, profit into capital, and capital into freedom.

Today, much of that work is with owners in the later stages of building a firm. He helps them increase what the firm is worth, plan a succession or sale, and turn what they’ve built into a retirement that doesn’t depend on them showing up to work.

Before financial planning, Darren was a teacher, and he still approaches every client relationship as an educator first, with clear numbers and plain language. He is also an entrepreneur running a fully virtual firm, so he makes the same decisions about hiring, profit and cash flow that his clients face.

Darren is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and holds a master’s degree in financial planning from Golden Gate University. He is a member of the American Bar Association and the Financial Planning Association. Connect with him on LinkedIn.
