Build a successful law firm with strategies that actually work—I’m sharing the gritty details of growing Sterling from zero to $17M and 27 attorneys.

No fluff - just the systems, pivots, and hard lessons that built our $17M firm.

This isn't another highlight reel story. I'm sharing the raw details of how we nearly failed at 18 months, made the painful pivot to focus and fixed fees, and built the law firm systems that work.

You'll get the real mistakes, the expensive lessons, and the specific strategies we use to help family law firms scale sustainably.
