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.

Do you need massive budgets, billboards, or TV ads to grow? Not quite! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Laura Ramos James, a brilliant Texas PI lawyer who built a multi–million dollar law firm on an initial $20,000/year marketing budget, and NO office or staff. Laura breaks down how Facebook groups, nonprofits, and identity-driven branding became her secret weapon to earning 6- and 7-figure cases.

📰 About Laura Ramos James:
Laura Ramos James is an award-winning personal injury attorney and founder of Ramos James Law.

👉 Sasha and Laura explore:

— How to land 6- and 7-figure cases through Facebook groups

— The identity-based marketing strategy that builds valuable connections

— Spend 3–5 hours weekly in local Facebook groups correcting misinformation and answering questions.
— Partner with nonprofits and offer free education; small rooms often outperform big budgets.
— Build a multi-channel foundation early so your brand isn’t dependent on a single marketing source.

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. He has coached 100+ law firm owners, helping them build practices that deliver real profit, predictable referrals, and a better quality of life. Known for landmark results (including Virginia’s largest DUI punitive verdict), Brian’s mission is to help lawyers thrive inside and outside the office.

👉 Sasha and Brian explore:
— How to survive in a world where AI is rapidly shrinking visibility on Google.

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

— How 60% of cases and 80% of revenue could come from trusted relationships.

— Why low-budget SEO is a trap — $2,500 retainers rarely move the needle.

— 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.

Think you need more leads? Think again. In this episode, Sasha Berson connects with Michael Patrick Strauch, a leading legal sales expert, to expose the hidden gaps that are silently killing your signed case numbers. Michael breaks down how top firms consistently convert 2–3x more clients from the same lead flow by changing how their intake teams connect, communicate, and close.

📰 About Michael Patrick Strauch:

— Why most intake teams never ask the right questions
— The hidden cost of “hot transfers”… and what converts better

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. Big Law said no. Leslee said yes — and it changed everything. She reveals how her team delivers elite work, maintains sky-high retention, and has a culture people genuinely love.

📰 About Leslee Cohen:
Leslee Cohen is a brilliant corporate and M&A attorney with 30+ years of deal-making experience, including 20 years in Big Law on Wall Street.

Her mission: help founders raise capital, scale fast, and land life-changing exits, without the burnout.

👉 Sasha and Leslee explore:
— The main reason women leave Big Law, and how your firm can be the solution

— A zero-turnover hiring model that any firm can copy

— Why flexibility is now a competitive advantage in the legal world

— How to attract elite lawyers without paying Big Law salaries

— The culture shift that makes teams “go the extra mile” automatically

👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

— Audit your team’s flexibility needs (confidential 1:1 convos — ask what they actually need)

— 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)

— Allow ownership to let your team suggest improvements, and implement the good ones immediately
