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!
