Are you an attorney who is thinking about owning their own firm? In this podcast episode, Jim and Tyson delve into Jim's personal and professional growth as the head of Hacking Immigration Law. 

Jim provides some insight on how he grew his firm to where it is now. In order to have a successful law firm, it is important to invest in yourself and that of the firm. Jim emphasizes the importance of searching for people who have expertise and bring a different type of value to the firm so it can become the best of the best. Investing in yourself involves learning and coming to terms with things you are not good at. For Jim, that was getting comfortable with being confrontational when it is appropriate.


Jim and Tyson dive into the challenges of running an immigration firm. Many immigration lawyers struggle because of the nature of the business. Immigration law involves helping people with their status, which can affect their families and their futures. Jim shares how many colleagues in the field are wrapped up in just completing cases and don't think about why they are doing the work. It is important to understand the work you are doing as an immigration lawyer and why it matters because people’s lives are on the line.
