Recruiting
More cases than hours in the day?
Growth usually means hiring. It isn't our main line of work, and we won't pretend otherwise, but at times we help the firms we work with find the people they need.

The short answer
If you read one part of this page, read this.
When a firm's case flow steadies, the next problem is usually people: someone to answer the phone, run intake or take on files. One family law solo went from feast-or-famine to hiring two assistants and another lawyer.
At times we help with that side too. It depends on the role and the firm, so we decide case by case. If you're hiring, mention it when we talk and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Who it's for
Is this right for your firm?
It usually comes up in one of a few situations.
A good fit
- Leads now outnumber the hours in your day, and you need intake or admin help.
- A stretch of steady growth means it's time for another lawyer.
- You're opening a second office and need people to run it.
Probably not the right fit
- Firms looking for a full-time recruiting agency. That's not what we are.

Before you book
What owners ask us first.
What owners ask about this, answered straight.
“I don't have time to hire.”
That's usually why it comes up. We can't interview for you, but we can help you get clear on the role and make sure your intake is ready, so the new person has something solid to work from.
“Should my first hire be a lawyer or intake?”
It depends on where your time goes. For many solo lawyers it's someone who answers the phone and runs intake, because that's where cases slip away while you're in court.
“How do I know a hire is working?”
Faster callbacks, more consultations handled, and the person still there months later. If intake is measured, you'll see the first two in the numbers.
The next step
30 minutes, and a straight answer.
It's a conversation about your firm, not a presentation about us. Here's exactly what happens on it.
You tell us how cases come in today
Your practice areas and market, what's running now, what you've tried before, and what didn't work.
We tell you what we see
Where the gaps are, what we'd start with and why, and what it would need from you.
You get a straight answer
If we can help, we outline what working together would look like. If we can't, we say so.
“He was a thoughtful listener and quickly grasped the unique aspects of my practice. The plan he outlined was cohesive, insightful, and felt highly actionable.”

Common mistakes
Where firms go wrong.
We see these when growth arrives faster than the team.
Hiring in a panic
A rushed hire when you're drowning often costs more than the overload did.
Hiring before the system is ready
If leads, follow-up and the pipeline aren't set up, a new intake person has nothing solid to work from.
An intake hire who can't call fast
Speed to lead decides cases. Whoever runs intake needs to reach new leads within minutes.
FAQ
Questions lawyers ask us.
Straight answers to what comes up on almost every first conversation.
Do you recruit for law firms?
At times, yes, for the firms we already work with. It isn't our main service, so we decide case by case and tell you honestly whether we can help with a given role.
Can you help me hire an intake person?
Ask us. Intake is the part of hiring we know well, because it's where so many leads are won or lost.
Who should a growing law firm hire first?
It depends on where your time goes. For many solo lawyers, the first hire is someone who answers the phone and runs intake, because that's where cases slip away while you're in court.
Do I have to use your other services to get hiring help?
It comes up with firms we're already working with, since that's when we know the firm well enough to be useful.
