Most law firm owners don’t have a leadership problem—they have a leadership gap they never intentionally built for.

And that gap quietly shows up as:
 growth that stalls, teams that depend too heavily on the owner, and a firm that can’t scale without burning you out.

In this episode of Profit with Law, Moshe Amsel sits down with leadership expert Julie Lancaster, President of Lancaster Leadership, to break down what’s actually missing inside most law firms when it comes to building strong, scalable teams.

Julie brings decades of experience and hundreds of performance evaluations to lay out what it really takes to move from “everyone does the work” to a firm that runs on real leadership layers.

Most law firm owners hear “mass torts” and think opportunity.
What they don’t see is the risk, the noise, and the number of firms quietly losing money.

In this episode, Moshe sits down with Kate Hoffmann, founder of Smart Reviews, to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes — from how firms are using mass torts as a growth and tax strategy, to where things are breaking down with bad leads and fraud.

They walk through how to evaluate opportunities the right way, what separates a smart investment from a costly mistake, and why due diligence is the difference between strong returns and wasted spend.

This isn’t about chasing the next big case.
 It’s about understanding how this space actually works so you can make better decisions with your time, money, and firm.

If you’ve ever considered mass torts — or you’re already investing and want to do it more effectively — this conversation will give you a clearer lens on what to look for and what to avoid.

Listen now to learn how to approach mass torts with more confidence, better judgment, and a strategy that actually supports your firm’s growth.

You know you need to raise your rates, but every time you think about charging more, you feel that pit in your stomach…

And you can’t figure out why.

Because pricing is not just a numbers issue. It is a belief issue.

In this episode, Moshe sits down with pricing expert Linda Hunt, founder of SumSolutions and author of The Money Conversation, to unpack the real reason so many law firm owners underprice their services. It is not just about strategy. It is about whether your mind and body are actually aligned around the value you bring.

When you do not truly believe your services are worth more, that shows up in your pricing, your sales conversations, your confidence, and ultimately your firm’s profitability.

The Money Conversation by Linda Hunt

Reflection Prompts

• What comes up when you imagine saying your rate out loud to a client?

(Chest, throat, belly, jaw, breath — be specific.)

• What thoughts tend to follow that sensation?

(Stories, fears, assumptions, or familiar narratives.)

• What would help your nervous system feel steadier in that moment?

(Breath, a pause, a script, a reminder of your process, etc.)
