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.

How to Objectively Measure Attorney Skills and Promote Fairly with Robin Esch - #125
Growing a family law team is hard - especially when lawyers have no clear path forward. In this episode, I sit down with Robin Esch, our HR leader, to explore how we've solved one of the most vexing problems in scaling a law firm: developing attorneys from associates to partners.
Robin shares:
- The innovative competency matrix that removes subjectivity from promotions
- How this tool creates clarity for lawyers at every stage of their careers
- The collaborative assessment process between attorneys and managing partners
- The unexpected benefit of helping non-fits "raise their hand" rather than forcing difficult exits
Listen in to learn how this system has transformed our ability to develop lawyers with consistency while creating a sense of fairness and ownership. As Robin puts it, lawyers feel both excitement about having a career path and relief knowing expectations won't be a moving target. Hope this helps you grow your practice!
