How to Know When Your Law Firm's First Hire is Ready

Your law firm's first hire is the scariest decision you'll make. What happens when your gut says go but your marketing agency says wait?

Tom tried to compete in Melville with 11 backlinks and 12 reviews against firms sitting on 500+ reviews and thousands of backlinks. It wasn't working.

So instead of grinding it out, he made a gutsy call—relocated his Google Business Profile to less competitive territory and did the math on his first hire. We're talking $25K/month break-even to cover salary, benefits, marketing, and overhead. That's the real number.

In this episode, Tom will walk us through his hiring math while navigating a real tension: his marketing agency recommends one path, but his business instincts say something different. We break down how to handle that conflict.
