"Transforming Practices goes back to the fundamentals of our humanity to describe a better way to be a lawyer. It actually does more than that. It describes how to be a better human being. Everything else flows from that."

Corporate Legal Times

"An important book for practicing and would-be lawyers, and a healthy antidote for law-bashing laypersons."

Booklist

"Transforming Practices by Steven Keeva is an amazing little book that has the potential to significantly affect the lives of lawyers and their families. . . .Rather than writing yet another book aimed at improving what we do, Keeva has written a book that can help improve who we are and what we are. . . . By writing this book, Keeva has provided a much-needed service to the legal community and has, I hope, initiated a wide-ranging dialogue that could literally save many in our profession."

Trial magazine

"If only I had had this book years ago, it might have sped my transition to my life as a happy lawyer."

The New York Law Journal

"Keeva. . . . describes the transformational journey of lawyers from many different kinds of practices who have found that elusive quality of joy in their work by returning a spiritual focus to it. The book presents neither wishful thinking nor legal practices that only sandal-clad, soybean-eating monkish lawyers could endure. The lawyers highlighted by Keeva are practicing criminal defense, personal injury, disability, family and corporate law in a way that honors, respects and arises out of their own humanity, the client's and the profession's.

"If you don't like what you've become, if your life seems empty, sterile or diminished. . . . if you'd like to turn away from the wreckage the adversarial system creates and help clients make not only intellectual, but emotional and spiritual sense of their predicaments, and if you've ever desired a more fulfilling life in the law, then read this book!"

The Pennsylvania Lawyer

"A remarkable aspect of Keeva's work is that it empowers a lawyer to unilaterally claim for himself or herself a joyful and fulfilling professional life by internally utilizing the suggested principals despite external resistance. The vast majority of Keeva's suggestions can be implemented by a lawyer while practicing in a hostile environment with difficult people. . . . .I strongly urge that every lawyer and law student in America read this book, study it, savor it and make it a constant companion. Faithful application of Keeva's principles will dramatically change a lawyer's life."

Texas Lawyer

"For attorneys who once truly enjoyed the study or practice of law but now have become dissatisfied with their careers, Steven Keeva's book can help find the passion for practicing law once again."
