How to Build a Law Firm That Runs Without You with Josh Nelson


Listen Later

In this powerhouse episode, Sasha sits down with Josh Nelson, a guy who might just be the most business-savvy law firm owner you've never heard of. Josh runs a wildly successful estate planning and probate firm that brings in just under $12 million a year, and he built it from scratch with a business mindset that’s rare in this industry.


📰 About Josh Nelson:

Josh is the CEO of Nelson Elder Care Law, a high-volume estate planning law firm that helps over 150 families every month. He’s scaled the business beyond himself by building a leadership team, ditching billable hours, and focusing on real business metrics, things like cost per acquisition, average case value, and conversion rate.


👉 Sasha and Josh explore:

— Why hiring more lawyers won’t scale your firm and what to do instead

— The real cost of the acquisition trap at $1M/month revenue and how Josh is solving it

— How to structure a team that runs without you, and frees you to lead

— The surprising trick that keeps their clients’ loved ones safe in nursing homes

— His no-BS roadmap to replicate this model from scratch in any market


👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

— Stop doing everything yourself – delegate, automate, and focus on leadership.

— Build your marketing engine before you hire a big team, revenue first, then scale.

— Hire A-players and pay them well, it’s cheaper than constantly replacing people.

— Track only the law firm KPIs that actually move the needle, like booked consults per day.

— Invest in mentors or coaches who are 10 steps ahead of you, shortcut your growth.
