The Grow Law Firm podcast brings you insightful conversations with leaders of law firm business support who bring practical ideas that will help you grow your law firm, expand your reach, generate more revenue, and make your law firm business more valuable.
Most law firms grow 3 to 5% a year. This one grew 100% in 2024. In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with A.J. Bruning, co-founder of The Bruning Law Firm, who started his firm in 2016 with four people and has since built it into a nearly 100-employee operation closing in on $50 million. A.J. breaks down why his first big decision was getting himself out of practicing law entirely, how one unusual hire gave them a huge edge in Google Ads (you have to hear this), and how he cut average case time from 18 to 10 months. They also dig into the private equity wave now hitting the legal industry. Is your firm on PE's radar? It might be! Tune in now.
📰 About A.J. Bruning:
A.J. Bruning is the co-founder of The Bruning Law Firm, the personal injury practice he launched in St. Louis in 2016 alongside his father and brother, starting with just one paralegal and a handful of cases. A former prosecuting attorney who tried 30 jury trials in four years, A.J. shifted out of the courtroom to focus on the firm's marketing, technology, and operations. Under his leadership, the firm adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System, built its own case management system on Salesforce, and has landed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies. Today he's focused on turning the firm's data into what he calls a "layer of intelligence" powered by AI.
👉 Sasha and A.J. explore:
— How A.J. stepped away from practicing law to do this — and how it set them on track to hit $50M.
— How adopting the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) made every department rigorously consistent
— Why buying leads across the entire state of Missouri (not just St. Louis) led to cheaper cases in less competitive markets
— How A.J. made an unusual hire to run Google Ads, and why it became one of their smartest recruits
— Why A.J. is building a "layer of intelligence" powered by AI on top of his firm's data
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your case data by stage. A.J. cut average case age from 18 months to 10 just by tracking it consistently.
— Map your BHAG backward. Write down where you want to be in five years, then work backward to today's systems, headcount, and marketing spend.
— Build a "layer of intelligence" on your data this quarter. Clean, organize, and centralize your data before layering AI on top of it.

Lawyers bill an average of just 1.8 hours a day. Where do the other 6 hours go? In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with David Freeman, J.D., who has coached 10,000+ lawyers. David explains the single-most important skill you were never taught: how to turn relationships into revenue. He breaks down the "memory matrix" system to never lose a referral source, the "bio problem" costing lawyers new business, and the ChatGPT prompt to turn 2 referral sources into 10. BONUS: Hear the $100 bill trick that stopped millionaire partners from showing up late to meetings. Tune in today.
📰 About David H. Freeman:
David H. Freeman, J.D., is the founder of David Freeman Consulting Group and the creator of Lawyer BookBuilder®, an online training and accountability system built to turn lawyers into rainmakers. Over more than 30 years, he has trained and coached over 10,000 lawyers and worked with more than half of the Am Law 200. A member of the National Law Journal Hall of Fame, David has been voted the #1 business development coach and consultant in the U.S. for multiple consecutive years and has authored or co-authored 14 books on law firm growth and leadership. He's also the creator of BD Buddy, a gamified platform that sends lawyers weekly business development check-ins.
👉 Sasha and David explore:
— Why you must forget "success measures" (revenue) and focus on "progress measures" (the actions that drive it)
— David's "memory matrix" system to never lose track of a referral source
— The #1 thing your law firm bio is missing (it’s costing you new business)
— Why a quick video is far better than an email to build client relationships
— The $100 bill trick that stopped millionaire partners from showing up late to meetings
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your referral sources this month. If you have two or three, David's benchmark is to build toward ten over the next few years.
— Schedule one recurring block each week for a single business development habit, and track it with a simple yes/no check-in.
— Identify one relationship you've been managing entirely over email, and send a short video message instead this week.

Most law firm owners ask, "How do I get more clients?" This CEO asks, "Why am I losing the people already calling me?" In this episode, Sasha Berson welcomes Shireen Hilal, Founder and CEO of Maior Consultants, who grew one national firm's revenue by 20% and profits-per-partner by 30%. She exposes an uncomfortable truth: Most law firms drop the ball with intake after blowing thousands on ads. As she puts it, “Leaky buckets are an expensive way to gather water!" Shireen also reveals her one-page FAQ trick that instantly upgrades your client experience, and the genius move of hosting an intimate 6-person dinner that makes you the go-to lawyer across your entire market. Don’t miss this!
📰 About Shireen Hilal:
Shireen Hilal is not your typical consultant. She spent 10 years as an AmLaw100 litigator, then walked into some of the biggest professional services firms in the world, leading operations for a $1B KPMG division, driving growth at BDO, and serving as COO of a national law firm where she grew revenue by 20% and profits-per-partner by 30%. Today, she runs Maior Consultants (maior means "bigger" in Latin), helping law firms of every size (from 4-attorney boutiques to 300-lawyer organizations) build revenue, fix their profit margins, and achieve their most ambitious growth targets.
👉 Sasha and Shireen explore:
— The #1 intake mistake that scares away prospects in the first 30 seconds, after you've already paid to reach them.
— The one-page FAQ trick: How you can avoid getting chased by frustrated clients for answers on their case.
— The genius referral dinner strategy that costs nothing and works with just 2 employees.
— (Important!) The Four Seasons vs. Motel 6 question you must answer before spending another dollar on ads.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your intake this week: have someone call your firm during business hours and test pickup rate, warmth, and ability to answer basic questions — then fix what's broken before spending another dollar on ads.
— Identify your top 3 referral sources and arrange a private dinner around them. Show up with a one-page branded FAQ they can hand to their clients.
— Run a profit margin reality check: if net profit is below 20%, map your top cost line items — labor, rent, marketing — and set a concrete goal to reach 30–40% within the next 12 months.

What if you could DOUBLE your revenue in under 18 months? Get ready, we’re dropping the exact blueprint! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Krystal Champlin-Gerage, consultant to 250+ law firms across the U.S. and Canada. Krystal and Sasha expose the leaky bucket that almost always drains your law firm revenue (can you guess what it is?), why you must hire B-players over A-players, and a clear $2M to $10M growth roadmap you can steal today. Bonus: Discover why 90% of her most successful clients hired someone else to run their firm. Tune in now.
📰 About Krystal Champlin-Gerage:
Krystal Champlin-Gerage is the CEO of RJH Consulting and one of the most sought-after law firm consultants in the country. Over the last 15 years, she has worked inside 250+ law firms across the U.S. and Canada (from solo practitioners to multi-million dollar firms) consistently helping them double revenue, plug operational leaks, and build businesses that run without the attorney at the center of everything. She is a Certified Executive Coach, DiSC Trainer, Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, and Six Sigma Lean certified. Her philosophy is simple: great law firms are built, not born.
👉 Sasha and Krystal explore:
— The "leaky bucket" problem that is bleeding your law firm dry.
— Why solo and small firms are sitting on revenue that's 1-2 years old, and how to go collect it.
— The 4-part formula for growing your law firm (planning, processes, people, profit).
— The exact $2M to $10M roadmap — leads, intake, client journey, and watching profit margins before scaling.
— Why 90% of Krystal's most successful clients hired someone else to run their firm.
— The #1 hiring trick: Why B-players are far better than A-players.
— Why you must hire a business advisor (or two), no matter how experienced you are.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your intake today. Call your own firm. Fill out your own contact form. See how long it takes to get a response.
— Pull your aging receivables report. If you haven't looked at it recently, you're likely sitting on revenue that's 6, 12, even 24 months old that you can still go collect.
— Get an advisor. Not a friend, not a colleague, not another lawyer, but someone who has built businesses, knows numbers, and will tell you the truth.

What if you could raise settlement values by 20-30% automatically? It’s possible! In this episode, Sasha welcomes Kenny Eliason, CEO of Quilia, who interviewed 100 attorneys before building Quilia. His genius AI tool eliminates PI's #1 headache: unresponsive clients who derail cases. Kenny reveals the "suffering data" that most demand letters miss (and Quilia catches), how his app saves case managers 2-4 hours every day in client-chasing headaches, and why firms with 3 case managers are now running efficiently with just 1. And yes! Quilia plugs into your existing case management system in minutes! Tune in now.
📰 About Kenny Eliason:
Kenny Eliason is the CEO and co-founder of Quilia. As a former case manager turned tech entrepreneur, Kenny spent nearly a decade in personal injury law, then built a successful marketing agency before going all-in on LegalTech. After interviewing 100 attorneys, he created Quilia: the AI client portal that automatically reminds clients about appointments, tracks their treatment, collects documents, and syncs everything back to your case management system. Quilia delivers an astonishing 20-30% higher settlement value, and 2-4 hours of saved staff time every single day.
👉 Sasha and Kenny explore:
— How Quilia reminds clients, tracks appointments, logs pain scores, and syncs everything to Clio and Filevine.
— The "suffering data" in every PI case that gets missed, and how Quilia captures it to add ~20-30% per settlement.
— Why firms with 3 case managers are now running with 1, and where that freed-up budget should go.
— Why solo attorneys are the biggest winners, and how Quilia lets them compete with firms 10x their size.
— Why "optimize or die" is not just a warning for PI firms. It's already happening and the clock is ticking.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Ask your top 3 case managers about their biggest daily frustration. If it’s client chasing, calculate the daily hours lost, then multiply that by your average hourly cost per employee.
— Head to Quilia.com and book a free 12-minute demo to see if Quilia is the right fit for your firm.

Your best cases are hiding... in your referral network! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Delisi Friday, Founder of First Call Friday, who scaled a PI firm from 7 to 8 figures and grew staff from 3 to 30, with ZERO ad spend. How? She engineered referrals! Delisi reveals the 4-part referral system your law firm needs, the 5 lawyers you must have in your network, and why "November is the new December" to send holiday cards (this is game-changing). BONUS: Hear how lawyers are making MORE money from rejected cases. Tune in now.
📰 About Delisi Friday:
Delisi Friday has been helping law firms grow since she was 15. Her father, a trial lawyer with 200+ trials to verdict, had her spend her summers answering phones at his firm. That hands-on upbringing turned into a 20-year legal career where she scaled a boutique PI firm from 7 to 8 figures and 3 to 30 staff through referrals alone. She has worked in four 8-figure businesses, 3 of them law firms, and helped build a company to $50M in 18 months. Today, as Founder of First Call Friday and host of the From Coffee to Cases podcast, Delisi trains lawyers across the country to turn their network into a robust referral machine.
👉 Sasha and Delisi explore:
— Why "November is the new December", and how this timing trick ensures you never get lost in the crowd.
— The 5 lawyers every attorney must have in their referral network (+ the practice area that generates the MOST referrals).
— The FREE app that hands out lawyer referrals every single week (almost nobody in legal is using this).
— The exact script to stay in touch with 100 referral partners without sounding salesy, pushy, or desperate.
— How the cases you reject today could actually become a huge revenue stream (yes, really!)
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Open the Nextdoor app and search "lawyer" or "attorney." Respond to anyone asking for a recommendation in your practice area and city. It's free and takes 10 minutes.
— Pull your last 90 days of rejected cases and identify which ones qualify for a shared attorney fee referral. Call those lawyers today, refer the cases, and start building a second revenue stream.

Legal Marketing, Law Firm Growth, Business Growth, Legal Industry Insights
Every PI law firm sounds exactly the same. “No fee till we win. We're the best.” Guess what? Clients don’t care! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Stuart Foster, Co-Founder of Law Firm Fractional CMOs, who reveals his 3-step framework to find your TRUE differentiator or “your unique color jacket.” He breaks down the marketing strategy that took one firm from 30 to 600 qualified leads in 9 months, and why 40% of your marketing budget is being wasted. Bonus: You must hear his intake horror stories of one lawyer taking his own calls, and another redirecting them to untrained offshore speakers. Tune in now.
📰 About Stuart Foster:
Stuart Foster is not your typical marketing guy. As former VP of Global Brand Marketing at Hilton and CMO of Topgolf, he's driven hundreds of millions in revenue for some of the world's most iconic brands over his 30+ years in business. Today, as Co-Founder of Law Firm Fractional CMOs, he's bringing that same Fortune 500 firepower to law firms, helping them build robust growth engines, slash wasted spend, and stand out in a “sea of sameness.” He’s taken firms from 30 to 600 qualified leads in 9 months, and is committed to ensuring you achieve success in your own firm.
👉 Sasha and Stuart explore:
— His 3-step process to find your TRUE differentiator that competitors can't copy.
— The "pay peanuts, get monkeys" philosophy… why trying to save money with a junior marketer is costly!
— How 40% of your law firm’s marketing budget is probably being wasted.
— How one firm signed 600 cases without spending a single extra dollar on marketing!
— The only KPI you must demand from your marketing team (Hint: It’s not “impressions” or “clicks”)
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Pull up your last marketing report — if it shows impressions, clicks, and traffic but not leads and signed cases, you need to demand accountability from your team.
— Over the next 6 months, ask clients two questions: "Why did you choose us?" and "What would you tell a friend about us?" — the pattern in those answers is your differentiation point.

“Why won’t private equity touch my law firm?” Because you may have nothing of value to sell! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Jordan Couch, partner at Palace Law, who has acquired 6 law firms. His take is extremely BRUTAL: “Everything you have of value… cannot technically be sold.” Your clients can leave. Your lawyers can leave. And your “systems” are probably just in your head… meaning they’re worthless during an acquisition. Jordan exposes what buyers actually look for in 2026 (it’s surprising!). If you want to sell your law firm at a SERIOUS profit, press “Play” today.
📰 About Jordan Couch:
Jordan Couch is a partner at Palace Law and a plaintiff-side attorney who has acquired 6 law firms — giving him a rare, inside look at what actually makes a firm valuable! With 10+ years in practice, Jordan has built systems that allow his firm to scale, streamline operations, and convert clients with brilliant strategies like “one call hiring.” He’s the author of 411 Tips for Solo and Small Firm Lawyers and a recognized leader in the legal space, serving 8+ years in WSBA leadership roles. His mission: turn lawyer-run jobs into real, sellable businesses that buyers are eager to invest in.
👉 Sasha and Jordan explore:
— Why most law firms are NOT sellable, and the brutal reason “your talent and clients” don’t count as real value.
— How Jordan evaluated and acquired 6 law firms, and the exact strategy he used to turn their case pipelines into HUGE profit.
— The “gas pedal” problem: why most law firm marketing stops working the second you stop paying.
— The risk of employee turnover during acquisitions: why one firm lost everyone overnight while another retained its ENTIRE team!
— How to systematize what’s in your head (using AI) so your firm can grow and sell for a bomb even without you.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Decide today: are you going for more clients (volume) or higher-value clients (premium)? Then align everything (pricing, intake, marketing, client experience) to that one path.
— Review your intake process. Are you making prospects wait days to hire you? Create a script, train your team, and aim to convert qualified leads on the first call.

Most law firm owners NEVER scale past $1M. You can be the exception! In this eye-opening episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Andy Goldstrom, Managing Partner at Midcourse Advisors and author of Grow Like a Pro, whose clients grow at an average of 40% per year (that’s 8X the industry norm!). Andy breaks down the main reason why 96% of firms plateau before hitting $1M, how one client went from $20K to $200K/month in under 18 months, and why "doing everything" is the real saboteur of your growth. P.S. You do not want to miss Andy's blueprint for turning a $10M law firm into a $13M exit, by design, not by accident. Tune in now.
📰 About Andy Goldstrom:
Andy Goldstrom is the Managing Partner of Midcourse Advisors and now the lead advisor at Grow Law, where he helps law firm owners grow their practices quickly and profitably. A two-time Inc. 500 business owner, Andy built a real estate brokerage division from a single employee to 500+ with 30%+ margins, then took over and scaled a national recycling company before both companies were sold to Fortune 500 acquirers. He has hired over 500 people, run a $100M+ firm, taught entrepreneurship as a university professor, and spent the last decade coaching law firm owners to grow on average 40% a year — roughly 8x the typical pace. He's also the author of Grow Like a Pro, with a new edition built specifically for law firm owners releasing this week.
👉 Sasha and Andy explore:
— Why Andy's clients grow at 40% a year while most firms crawl at 3–5%
— The one-client focus that took a firm from $20K to $200K a month in 18 months
— Why only 4% of firms reach $1M, and just 1% sustain it past two years
— The 7-year service life cycle, and why getting "comfortable" is where your growth dies
— Why most law firm advisors are one-hit wonders, and what three real exits actually teach
— The lieutenant-vs-specialist test for spotting your next leader
— Why even great operators keep two advisors on call, never just one
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Pick one core client type this quarter and pour your marketing, networking, and systems into it. Focus, not hustle, is what unlocks 40% growth.
— Run the "lieutenant test" on your team: a real leader says "I've got this — it's already underway," a specialist waits for instructions. Identify which you actually have.
— Start your exit prep now, not six months before you sell. Build the pipeline, systems, people, and succession plan an investor will pay a premium for.

How do you go from 0 to 300+ cases in just 26 months? Break the rules! In this episode of the Grow Law Podcast, Sasha Berson sits down with Lee Rudin, founder of Rudin Law and creator of the “Get Rude” brand. Lee breaks down why referrals alone are risky, why you should invest at least ~10K in ads to see results, and (yes!) his #1 trick to LOWER client acquisition costs. Lee also shares a story about how being called an “ambulance chaser” made him create one of his BEST social media campaigns ever. Tune in now.
📰 About Lee Rudin:
Lee Rudin is the founder of Rudin Law and the force behind the bold “Get Rude” brand. Based in New Orleans, he grew from 0 to 300+ cases in 26 months by moving away from traditional SEO and PPC-heavy strategies and going hard on bold branding and social media. Known for his unconventional approach, Lee helps clients fight back, and shows lawyers how to ditch “spray and pray” marketing and build a unique brand that brings in cases.
👉 Sasha and Lee explore:
— Why it’s not worth investing in paid ads unless you can commit ~$10K/month.
— How being called an “ambulance chaser” turned into one of Lee’s BEST marketing campaigns.
— How Lee went from 15 to 30+ cases a month with bold social media content.
— Why referrals are RISKY and what you need instead to build a predictable, scalable case flow.
— How branding (i.e., showing your face and message over and over) lowers your cost per case over time.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Before hiring a PPC vendor, write this down: cost per case, monthly budget, and expected return. Then ask your agency: “Can this realistically work within my budget?” If the answer is vague, proceed with caution.
— Choose one (social, PPC, referrals) and commit. If it’s social: post consistently and don’t worry about being too professional.
— Take a common criticism or stereotype in your industry and flip it into content (like Lee’s “ambulance chaser” video). Don’t play it safe.

In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Andy Goldstrom, Managing Partner at Midcourse Advisors, whose clients grow at an average pace of 40% per year (not a typo!). He explains why most law firm owners are stuck at $2-3 million, why hiring A-players is your biggest mistake, and why your intake process is crushing your growth. P.S. You do NOT want to miss how even a modest-sized law firm can create a $10 million exit. Tune in today.

What if we told you… you’re significantly overpaying on your tax bill? In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Moshe Amsel, CPA, enrolled IRS agent, and tax strategist, for a jaw-dropping conversation about how high-earning attorneys are legally slashing their tax bills (some by as much as $250,000!) and building generational wealth. Moshe breaks down the strategies most CPAs have never heard of, and drops eyebrow-raising insights on how Donald Trump was able to tell the world, “I pay $0 in taxes.” How much are YOU leaving on the table every single year? Watch now.
📰 About Moshe Amsel:
Moshe Amsel is the brilliant founder and CEO of Profit with Law, on a mission to empower law firm owners to build significant generational wealth. He has spent decades helping high-earning attorneys like you legally slash their tax bills and see tremendous success in growing their business. Inspired by his grandfather (a Holocaust survivor who built generational change for 36 grandchildren), Moshe brings a powerfully personal approach to helping lawyers keep more of what they earn, forging a legacy they can pass on.
👉 Sasha and Moshe explore:
— The critical difference between a CPA and a tax strategist (confusing the two is costing you).
— The Augusta Rule: how to turn $52,000 of personal expenses into a legal business deduction.

— Why waiting until November to think about taxes could cost you 5-10 tax savings options.

— The real reason building assets (not maximizing your income) is the move every attorney needs to make.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

— If you're earning over $494,000 as an attorney, ask a tax strategist this week whether you're losing your QBI deduction.
— Open a Roth IRA for your child this week. If they're earning any income — even working in your business — they're eligible.

Your margins are shrinking fast. Your associate is about to become… AI! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Colin Levy, a 17-year legal tech expert, for an eye-opening conversation about how AI is rattling the legal world, shrinking profit margins, and threatening legal jobs. Colin gives law firm owners a jarring wake-up call: “The fastest way to become LESS in demand is to pretend the world isn’t changing.” How do you plan to stay relevant over the next 3–5 years? This episode is your wake-up call! P.S. It isn’t doom and gloom. Think of it as pessimistic pragmatism. Watch now.

👉 Sasha and Colin explore:
— How junior associate work is already disappearing as AI takes over legal research, drafting, and routine case tasks.

— How backend software (intake, billing, workflow, client portals) will free lawyers to focus on higher-value work.
— The biggest advantage in an AI-driven legal world: operational discipline paired with human relationships.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Map your client intake from first contact to signed agreement. Cut one step that creates friction or delays in onboarding.
— Assign one person to own tech adoption in your firm. Schedule a live training session instead of sending another tutorial link.

How did one lawyer go from a silent phone to a wildly successful probate firm? Come find out! In this episode, Sasha Berson chats with Darren Findling, brilliant founder of The Probate Pro. They talk about his journey from working in a tiny closet office to leading one of the most successful probate firms in the U.S. Darren breaks down his growth formula: skipping billboards and consumer ads, building a B2B referral engine instead, and focusing on real, authentic relationships. His approach to “making the phone ring until it smokes” paid off big time! Tune in now.

Darren Findling is the highly accomplished founder and President of The Probate Pro.

👉 Sasha and Darren explore:
— How billboards, radio, and consumer ads cost more than the case itself (and why B2B referrals are better!)
— How not to let ego kill your business: pick a name after your service (e.g., Probate Pro), not yourself.
— The #1 leadership mistake: assuming the best lawyers make the best managers.
— How AI is now the arbiter of knowledge. Make up for this with genuine relationships (this can’t be outsourced, only DIY’ed)
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Pick one professional referral partner (CPA, attorney, realtor, financial advisor) and book a coffee meeting with them this week. Ask how you can support their business first.
— Write down the one idea you’ve been avoiding because it’s uncomfortable (asking for referrals, following up, speaking up). Do it this week.
— Identify one leadership role currently filled by a lawyer that should be filled by a non-lawyer operator.

👉 Sasha and Micki explore:

— Strengthen your referral engine: add post-case follow-ups, anniversary messages, and client surveys.

Is a 20-25% profit margin only a dream? Not for the top firms! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with fractional CFO Ryan Kimler to figure out what separates “meh” firms from the 4% that cross $1 MILLION. Ryan explains how smart owners reverse-engineer their growth, starting with their take-home pay. They dig into some math (it’s fun, we promise), like payroll, overhead, and marketing, to hit that golden 20–25% profit margin. Tune in today.
📰 About Ryan Kimler:
Ryan Kimler is the founder of Net Profit CFO, with a highly impressive track record. He partners with law firm owners to increase net profit margins by 52%+ and unlock 6 figures in additional owner distributions — often within 90 days! Ryan is also the creator of the Profit Clarity Blueprint™, a system built to replace reactive financial decisions with clear profit targets, cashflow forecasting, and CEO-level visibility. You can find Ryan at The Legal CFO podcast, where he teaches lawyers how to run firms that actually pay them back.
👉 Sasha and Ryan explore:
— Why only 4% of businesses cross $1M — and how to model a profitable, scalable firm after them.
— Why start with take-home pay, then reverse-engineer your profit, staffing, and revenue.
— Ryan’s law firm benchmarks: ~20% overhead, ~45% payroll, and 10–15% marketing.
— Why your billable staff must generate 3–5x their total compensation.
— Why chasing revenue without profit margin backfires ($1M more work can mean just $13K in profit).
— The CEO shift that creates 7-figure law firms.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your expenses using Ryan’s benchmarks: aim for ~20% overhead, ~45% payroll, and 10–15% marketing to unlock 20–25% profit.
— Run the ROI test: every billable team member should generate at least 3–5x their total compensation.
— Shift into CEO mode: block weekly “thinking time” on your calendar to focus on strategy, systems, and growth (not cases).

Cameron Herold is the wildly talented founder of the COO Alliance and host of the Second in Command Podcast. He’s often called the “CEO Whisperer” — the guy leaders call when their company is growing fast and starting to feel messy. Cameron helped scale 1-800-GOT-JUNK from $2M to $106M in 6 years, then spent the years after teaching CEOs and COOs how to grow without burning out. He’s written 6 best-selling business books, spoken in 29 countries, and teaches leaders how to step out of the way and let their firms grow without them.
👉 Sasha and Cameron explore:
— How delegating low-value work yields better decisions at the top.
— What the 2-hour rule is: If you could only work 2 hours a day, what would you focus on?
— How to split vision and execution. This CEO–COO advantage is your biggest growth accelerant.
— Why hiring a strong operator pays for itself within the first few months… even with a $240K salary!
— Why firms that scale too fast are forced into painful turnover later.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Run Cameron’s 2-hour thought experiment: if you only had 2 hours a day to work, decide exactly what stays on your plate.
— Separate vision from execution: Assign one person full ownership of bringing your ideas to life (even if that starts part-time).
— Reframe how you look at senior hires. Evaluate their impact after the first payroll, not the first year.
— Block weekly thinking time on your calendar and treat it as non-negotiable work.

Do you panic when leads aggressively drop? One lawyer lost 160 leads/per month, and grew his revenue by 59%! In this episode, Sasha Berson and Eric Gros-Dubois bust the myth that “more leads = more money”.

— Audit the last 30 days of leads by source and identify which channels actually produced profitable clients.
— Raise your minimum retainer (or package price) and watch how client quality, stress, and closing conversations improve.

Eager to scale past $5M? It’s going to be stressful and deeply uncomfortable. In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Luis Scott of 8 Figure Firm Consulting, who’s helped 30+ firms jump from low 7 figures to $10M, $20M… and even $100M+. They break down 3 vital growth stages, why 50%+ growth should feel chaotic, and what you must change today if you want to scale to $10M. Tune in now.
📰 About Luis Scott:
Luis Scott is the founder of 8 Figure Firm Consulting, where he helps law firm owners break through growth ceilings and scale from low 7 figures to 8 figures and beyond. As a former managing partner and COO, Luis understands that real, meaningful growth is disruptive. He has personally helped 30+ law firms double, triple, and reach $10M–$100M+ in revenue.
👉 Sasha and Luis explore:
— Why most ambitious law firm owners stall at $2–$5M
— The 3 distinct growth stages, and why 50%+ growth is chaotic by design
— What actually breaks when firms scale fast: leadership, systems, sales, and control
— Why marketing may not be your problem… but sales or leadership is
— The hidden cost of breaking through to $10M+ revenue that no one warns you about
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Define your growth stage (0–25%, 25–50%, or 50%+) and align your expectations for stress.
— Audit before increasing your marketing spend. If leads exist but conversions don’t, the issue is likely sales.
— Set your growth pace intentionally for the next year. Choose controlled growth (25–30%) or prepare for disruption if scaling faster.
— Get an outside business diagnosis. Most owners overvalue their firm’s health; an advisor will surface blind spots quickly.

Scale too slow… and you stall. Scale too fast… and you break! Where’s the sweet spot? In this episode, Sasha Berson welcomes Mary Ellen Murrah of Vista Consulting to talk about org charts, mid-level leadership, and the systems your law firm needs to grow faster. You’ll discover how to create a strong accountability culture, build KPIs, and (as a bonus!) run a really cool “vacation test” for your employees. Watch now!
📰 About Mary Ellen Murrah:
Mary Ellen Murrah is a brilliant law firm strategist and Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at Vista Consulting Team. Drawing on 16+ years of experience working with personal injury firms across the U.S., she helps owners resolve their intake breakdowns, build rock-solid leadership layers, and grow their firms with way more clarity and control.
👉 Sasha and Mary explore:
— Why most law firm owners struggle to scale (hint: a broken org chart is usually the culprit)
— How intake leakages are quietly destroying your marketing ROI
— The real meaning of “manage by numbers”: which reports actually matter
— Why mid-level leadership (COO, Director of Intake, HR) is your ticket to freedom and growth
— How to choose a sustainable growth pace (do not compare to the firm down the street)
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Run the “vacation test.” Step away for a few days and track what breaks — that’s where your org chart needs fixing.
— Audit your intake conversion. Small improvements can dramatically lower your cost per signed case.
— Stop managing by gut feel. Identify 3–5 core numbers (intake, conversion, case flow) and review them weekly.
— Add one layer of leadership. Even a single mid-level role (intake, ops, or HR) can free up time and stabilize growth.

AI was supposed to make life easier… so why is it burying some law firms? In this episode, Sasha Berson chats with law firm coach Brian Glass to expose the hidden downsides of AI: how it’s quietly killing your visibility, complicating SEO, and steering prospects toward competitors. But don’t panic. You’ll also learn how Brian’s firm generates 80% of revenue from one GREAT lead source, and (as a bonus!) how he lowers case acquisition costs.
📰 About Brian Glass:
Brian Glass is a personal injury attorney and partner at Ben Glass Law in Fairfax, Virginia.

— Why over-automation is killing trust by replacing humans a little too quickly.

— If offline marketing is back: use simple tools like postcards, lunches, and advisory relationships to drive leads.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your AI visibility with a tool like AI Grader to see whether tools like ChatGPT are recommending your firm.
— Call your own intake line (or have a friend do it) to check response speed, tone, and follow-through.
— Schedule referral lunches with high-trust professionals (chiropractors, doctors, CPAs).
— Review your client touchpoints and replace one automated or AI-generated interaction with a real human moment.

Most law firms are bleeding talent — especially women — because Big Law is still obsessed with 80-hour weeks. In this episode, Sasha Berson chats with Leslee Cohen, who built a powerhouse Chicago firm by hiring top lawyers with one shared deal-breaker: they refused to sacrifice life for their career.

👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

— Fix recognition gaps by implementing weekly shout-outs or wins
— Stop résumé-gap bias by recruiting on experience and alignment, not perfect timelines
— Measure retention like a profit metric (track tenure, replacement costs, lost productivity)

Profit. Taxes. Exit. Your future hangs in the balance. In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Emil Abedian, a 20-year accounting veteran, to talk profit, taxes, and the tough reality of scaling. From his early days in Sweden to advising multimillion-dollar firms in Los Angeles, Emil has seen it all. Today, he shares how law firm owners can borrow smart, hire faster, and plan their exit — while making tax planning more profitable!
📰 About Emil Abedian:
Emil Abedian knows what keeps law firm owners up at night — taxes, cash flow, and growth. As the founder and CEO of Counsel CPAs, this 20-year accounting pro helps law firm owners keep more of what they earn and exit richer.

👉 Sasha and Emil explore:
— How to break free from the “high-paying job” trap
— How to budget, borrow smart, and scale from $2M to $5M
— How to make taxes (i.e., your #1 expense) actually profitable with strategic planning

— The three-year roadmap to exit your firm without getting crushed by a 40% tax hit
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Fire yourself from daily tasks; your firm should run without you.
— Budget your growth: every $1M in revenue usually needs about $150K in marketing fuel.
— Meet your CPA quarterly, not yearly — tax planning only works before April.
— Start exit planning 3 years in advance to avoid handing 40% of your sale to the IRS.

Most law firms never crack $10M. Tim Semelroth did. In this episode, Sasha Berson unpacks how Tim went from college mock trial student to managing partner of a 17-lawyer, multi-office PI firm. Along the way, Tim ran his own PPC and TV ads before making a game-changing hire that scaled RSH Legal into one of Iowa’s top firms.
📰 About Tim Semelroth:
Tim Semelroth is the trail–blazing managing partner of RSH Legal, Iowa’s largest PI firm with 17 attorneys across three offices.

What if you could handle 50% more cases without hiring? In this episode, Sasha Berson chats with Manny Griffiths, co-founder of Hona, a game-changing communication tool for busy law firms. Most attorneys waste 2-3 hours a day on status calls, emails, and repetitive updates. Manny reveals how smart firms are clawing back nearly 10 weeks a year with Hona.
📰 About Manny Griffiths
Manny Griffiths is the co-founder and CEO of Hona, a game-changing legal tool. After nearly a decade in legal tech, he grew tired of watching attorneys burn hours on mind-numbing client updates.

Legal directories probably aren’t something you think about very often, but you should. Why? Because when done right, they can be a hidden growth engine for your law firm. And in this episode, Sasha Berson talks with Jason Craver of Attorney at Law Magazine, one of the sharpest minds in legal marketing, to unpack exactly how to use directories to your advantage.
📰 About Jason Craver:
Jason’s been in the legal marketing world for over a decade. He’s been running legal directory strategy for Attorney at Law Magazine for the past 6+ years, and he’s studied the entire landscape, from Avvo’s fall from grace to the rise of Justia, Super Lawyers, and FindLaw. The guy knows the legal SEO game inside and out, and he doesn’t sugarcoat what works today.
👉 Sasha and Jason explore:
– The biggest shifts in directory SEO since Google started prioritizing local results.
– Why measuring ROI on directories is tricky, and what not to do.
– Which directories are worth your time and money, and which are dead weight.
– How to build a smart, layered digital marketing strategy that includes directories as one of the pillars.
– Why so many lawyers miss the mark by expecting directories to deliver direct leads.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
– Use legal directories to boost your SEO, not as your main lead source. Treat them as authority builders, not magic lead funnels.
– Track ROI the right way, look for improvements in search rankings, not just calls or form fills.
– Focus on the 3-4 directories that dominate Page 1 in your market (like Justia, Super Lawyers, FindLaw). Skip the rest.
– Build your law firm referral network early, use that cash flow to fund smarter long-term marketing plays like SEO and directories.
– Audit your directory listings twice a year, make sure info is up-to-date and your profile is fully optimized.

Liz is the go-to consultant for law firms who want to stop leaving money on the table and start converting more leads into paying clients. She’s a sales coach for attorneys, without the sleaze.

Join Sasha Berson as he speaks with Dorna Moini, CEO and founder of Gavel
👉Sasha and Dorna explore:
— How to use no-code technology like Gavel to scale your law practice by automating workflows and documents. This saves time and allows firms to take on more clients and cases.
— Specific examples of workflows estate planning and bankruptcy attorneys have built-in Gavel to streamline repetitive tasks. This frees up lawyers to focus on higher-value work.
— Tips for turning your legal expertise into products and services using tools like video explainers and client portals. This allows you to serve more clients in an efficient way.
— Pricing strategies to make legal services more affordable and accessible to reach a wider audience just like Gavel's pricing model. Volume with lower pricing expands your market.
— The power of systems and automation for gaining flexibility and planning for retirement or selling your firm. With processes that don't rely on you, you open up options.
— How efficiency and automation enable attorneys to work less and practice law on their own terms, whether that's spending more time on cases or with family.
👉 Main takeaways from the episode:
— Gavel provides a no-code platform that allows lawyers to efficiently automate workflows for client intake, document generation, client portals, and billing to scale their practice.
— Automating routine legal tasks like estate planning documents can reduce the time spent per case from 5 hours to just 30 minutes, translating to hundreds of hours saved per attorney annually.
— The time savings enable firms to take on more clients each month, pursue more complex cases, or generate new revenue streams through online legal service products built on Gavel's platform.
📰About Dorna Moini:
Dorna Moini is the founder and CEO of Gavel.io. As an attorney herself, Moini found that much of her time was spent on routine and repetitive tasks rather than practicing law. This frustration led her to build the initial version of what became the Gavel platform. The product allowed Moini to automate document drafting and realize significant time savings in her practice within the first weeks. Through her experience, Moini identified legal automation as key to enabling attorneys to focus more on client services and complex work.
