How do you decide where to open a new family law office? In this episode, I sit down with Tony, my partner who led our growth from a single location to 4 regional offices and 20+ satellite locations.
Drawing from data-driven analysis, Tony reveals:
- The specific metrics we use to select territories — including marriage rates, income levels, and population size
- Why understanding "normative drive time" dramatically impacts success (and why we failed in downtown Chicago)
- The surprising truth about rural vs. urban locations
- How to select the actual office space once you've chosen your territory
Listen in for a practical blueprint on how we expanded strategically using data instead of guesswork. This formula has helped us grow to 25+ attorneys and $15M in revenue — and it can work for your firm, too. Hope this helps you grow your practice!
