Delegation is the key to scaling your law firm, and yet, so many law firm owners struggle to let go of tasks.

In this week’s episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I dive deep into why delegation is so cri...

We all know that getting leads is one of the most exciting parts of growing your law firm—your marketing is working, and your phone is ringing! But here’s the problem: just because you’ve got leads doesn’t mean you’ve got clients.

So many law firms struggle with the next step: converting those leads into paying clients. You might have the best marketing in the world, but if you don’t know how to take that initial ...

We’ve all heard that social media marketing can make or break a brand—and this is even more accurate in today’s virality-obsessed society. 

This is why finding the right balance between interesting and informative content is a must for most companies… yes, even law firms.

So if you think social media marketing is not for you, let me break it to you: you’re wrong.

I get it, you're spending time and money driving traffic to your site, but if it’s not working for you, that’s a problem.

Most law firm owners treat reference calls as a formality. Something you do at the end of the process, not something that actually matters. But you're missing a massive opportunity to get the real story behind your candidates if you do so.

In this episode of Crushing Chaos with Law Firm Mentor, I break down exactly why most reference checks fall flat and how to fix them. You’ll learn:

Ever wondered why hiring the right people feels like an endless struggle?

It’s not just about finding someone who can do the job—it’s about finding someone who can hustle when the going gets tough. Someone who can think on their feet, solve problems without constant direction, and, most importantly, get things done.

If you’ve ever struggled with building a team that delivers results withou...

I once thought that growing a law firm was just about working harder and hitting the next revenue milestone.

But after reaching that lifestyle law firm level, I found myself asking: “What now? What comes after success?”

I used to think compensation was simple: pay people fairly and keep it moving.

But the more my law firm grew, the more I realized that compensation can make or break your business.

I never thought that trusting my team would be harder than building the business.

But when I took my law firm remote, that’s exactly what happened.

Running on caffeine, adrenaline, and the dream of “just pushing through,” I thought hard work alone would build the business I wanted.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right… but the numbers still don’t add up?

You’re bringing in clients. The work’s flowing. But somehow, your bank account and your peace of mind don’t reflect your daily hustle.

If you’ve been questioning whether you’re building something that’s truly sustainable or just keeping up appearances, then this episode is exactly what you need to hear.

So many lawyers find themselves overwhelmed by the amount of new clients they’re getting—but they don’t want to turn anyone away.

If you’re in the same boat, struggling to balance growth with capacity, then this is THE episode for you! Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

So often, growing law firms face a tricky dilemma: they’re finally getting the right leads, but their teams aren’t staffed enough to...

Should you spin the block on past potential hires?

We’re not talking about bringing back legal paraprofessionals or interns. We’re talking about the “ungettable gets”—lawyers with 15+ years of experience, rock-solid reputations, and a sizable book of business. 

If you haven’t revisited those old resumes sitting in your system…it’s time. 

The legal hiring market is shifting—and fast. With firms across the country struggling to find top...

Your best lawyer shouldn’t run your firm.

Yes, they’re brilliant. Clients love them. They win cases.

But here’s the hard truth: being great at law doesn’t mean they’re great at leadership.

Too many law firm owners make the mistake of promoting their top-performing attorney into a leadership role, assuming that intelligence and drive will naturally translate into management success.

It doesn’t.

Because managing attorneys need more than s...

Are you putting your entire ad budget into Facebook or Instagram?

When it comes to law firm marketing, many lawyers think that the best way to get their names out there is through Facebook or Instagram.

But here’s the truth: LinkedIn is the only platform that is indexable by search engines. If you’re relying solely on Facebook or Instagram, your visibility stops where the algorithm ends. 

Let’s also be clear: choosing a marketing chan...

Is your marketing strategy not working for you? Then don’t skip this episode!

Many law firm owners find themselves feeling frustrated, stuck, and unsure why their marketing efforts aren’t delivering the results they want. 

But here’s what they often forget: marketing a law firm isn’t one-size-fits-all. The way you market to a business is very different from how you connect with individual clients.

If your law firm’s intake process feels chaotic or unpredictable, you’re not alone. 

Many law firm owners struggle with turning leads into paying clients, and without the right systems in place, it’s hard to get consistent results.

When lawyers think about building a successful law firm, they mainly focus on client acquisition, case wins, and expanding their team. 

But there’s something many of us often overlook: money. Not just the money we earn, but the culture surrounding money in our firms.

Yes, I know—money is a loaded topic, especially in today’s economic climate. And this is even more true when it comes to discussing money...
