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.

Is Your Law Firm Culture Toxic? - #96
Ever promoted someone only to watch your firm's culture crumble?
In this raw episode, I share one of my biggest leadership blunders and its far-reaching consequences.
I take you behind the scenes of our law firm's year-long struggle to recover from a toxic culture shift, sharing hard-earned wisdom that could save your practice.
Here’s what I discussed:
- The impact of promoting the wrong leader and the warning signs I ignored.
- How a toxic culture can develop subtly and quickly, often going unnoticed.
- The necessity of implementing a zero-tolerance policy on toxic behavior, including a pivotal incident involving bullying.
- The long-term benefits of cultivating a positive and collaborative atmosphere.
- Actionable strategies for leaders to set clear expectations and maintain a healthy culture.
Listen in for real-life insights on how to prevent toxic culture from taking root in your firm—and how to fix it if it already has.
