We're back with Tom Hartin for month seven of his family law startup journey on Long Island. March brought his second-highest revenue month at $10,242 — crossing that significant $10K threshold, though his bottom line is temporarily down due to increased marketing investment. 

In this episode, Tom shares:

  • His detailed roadmap: $16K monthly revenue in 3 months, $30K in 6 months
  • Why he's exploring a PI attorney's networking group despite his already packed schedule
  • How he's handling no-show consults (and why paid consultations can't come soon enough)
  • The search for a reliable call answering service before his upcoming Disney vacation

Listen in to learn about strategic investments and the growing pains of a family law practice hitting its stride while preparing for expanding your firm.
