The J. Sterling Hughes Show
All about the practice of Family Law - insights, interviews, news, developments, real life case studies. My mission is to Empower Family Law Attorneys.
I share how we have grown our family law firm, SterlingLawyers.com, from zero to 25+ lawyers and $15m a year in revenue since 2014.
The purpose is to document what's working and not working so you can re-contextualize for your practice and shorten your success curve.
We are so open about what we are doing because we want to help other lawyers build a beautiful law firm, even if you "compete" with us.

From struggling solo to breakthrough month—Tom Hartin just hit $24,000 in revenue with 4 new clients after 9 months of building his Long Island practice. In this episode, we witness the dramatic turnaround that every startup attorney dreams about.
We dive into his explosive May success:
- Why his lead-to-consult conversion rate hit nearly 100% and what that reveals about his market positioning
- The strategic office move that gives him space to hire while maintaining his dominant Massapequa map rankings
- His bold hiring decisions to accelerate his path from practitioner to business owner
- The real math behind associate hiring: billable monthly hours monthly he needs to cover salary plus overhead
Listen in as Tom wrestles with the classic law firm owner dilemma—playing it safe with steady growth versus taking calculated risks to reach his vision faster.
