It’s hard to run a law firm. So much is asked of you, and you have only so much time to accomplish it all. Maybe you don’t always know the answers, but you’re afraid to show weakness. How do you delegate and trust people to get the job done right? J.L. King has the answers.J.L. King, II, is an experienced civil trial lawyer in Georgia. He primarily represents catastrophically injured victims and the families of individuals who have died as a result of negligence. Before he chose this focus, J.L. worked for one of the premier insurance defense firms in the southeastern United States.On this week’s episode, Maria speaks with J.L. about his small-town upbringing, how you can be a good lawyer and a good marketer, being a good delegator, why things don’t always have to be perfect, and the ins and outs of managing your staff.Key TakeawaysYou can’t be the best at everything. Recognize your limitations. Even the most successful people have things they aren’t good at. They accept it and learn where to put their focus to best benefit the company. There’s no shame in asking for help.Consider part-time employees. Staffing can be highly stressful. Hiring, firing, and questions about overstaffing and understaffing can all be overwhelming. Consider hiring someone part-time who can fill a gap or jump between departments when needed. They can be a help at the most stressful moments.Delegate. Delegate. Delegate. Hire people that complement your weaknesses. Not good at marketing? Hire a marketing manager. Not good at writing? Hire a copywriter. Trust those people with their tasks, and don’t micromanage. This kind of trust can take a lot of weight off your shoulders.To connect with J.L., visit https://kingtriallaw.comTip The Scales WebsiteTip the Scales InstagramTip the Scales TikTokTip the Scales YoutubeMaria Monroy InstagramMaria Monroy LinkedInLawRank WebsiteLawRank InstagramLawRank TikTokLawRank X / twitterLawRank FacebookLawRank LinkedInLawRank YouTubeThe King Firm WebsiteThe King Firm FacebookThe King Firm X / twitterThe King Firm LinkedInThe King Firm YouTubeOther episodes you might enjoy:7.

Are mass torts something you're interested in, but haven’t had the time to learn the ins and outs of? Maybe you’re already acquainted, but just need some advice on how to move forward. Either way you’re going to come out of this podcast with everything you need to know about mass torts.As CEO of The Search Engine Guys (TSEG), Chris Massaro oversees the company’s growth in its operations and sales, as well as managing key accounts for single-event and mass tort law firms. TSEG is a legal marketing company that has expert knowledge in mass tort advertising.On this week's episode, Maria sits down with Chris to discuss mass torts. What are they? How do you advertise? Why should you invest? How do you invest? How do you protect your money? And how do you avoid unscrupulous offers? They also discuss the unusual way Chris got into marketing and why social media hates lawyers.Key TakeawaysDon’t call out sick from Dave & Busters. If Chris Massaro had called in sick that day, he may have never found success in his current career path. You never know when fortune might strike, so try to take advantage of every opportunity presented. Most importantly, make sure to be honest about your hangover.Encourage your employees’ success. Find joy in your employees’ accomplishments. Think about how each business decision affects not only you, but also your staff. Closing that next lead means more money for the business, which allows you to pay higher salaries, which leads to an employee closing on their first home. Think twice before you decide to go home early and skip that call.Be smart about your investment. Mass torts can be profitable, but only with the right guidance. Beware of scams and people just trying to make a quick buck. Do your research, and make sure to vet the people you work with. Don’t let yourself fall victim to the wrong person.To connect with Chris, visit the TSEG website at https://www.tseg.comTip The Scales WebsiteTip the Scales InstagramTip the Scales TikTokTip the Scales YoutubeMaria Monroy InstagramMaria Monroy LinkedInLawRank WebsiteLawRank InstagramLawRank TikTokLawRank X / TwitterLawRank FacebookLawRank LinkedInLawRank YouTubeTSEG WebsiteTSEG InstagramTSEG FacebookTSEG X / TwitterTSEG LinkedInTSEG YouTubeOther episodes you might enjoy:5.

Having tons of energy can be a great thing if you know how to put it to use. Say yes to new opportunities, make light of yourself on TikTok, buy a new Rolls-Royce, or even build your own private courthouse. How are these all related? Kevin Kennedy did them, and they all, in one way or another, led to the growth of a successful law firm.Kevin Kennedy is the founder of The Kennedy Law Firm in Clarksville, Tennessee. They are a Christian law firm that provides counsel for everything from personal injury to estate planning.

They are reflected in his personal and business decisions. Whether it’s religion or your own personal values, have a touchstone you can go back to when you're struggling and need help.Don’t say no. Should you say no to purchasing a Rolls-Royce? Probably not. Kevin Kennedy didn’t, and that Rolls got him a case that covered his purchase in just ninety days. Maybe you don’t need a Rolls-Royce, but try taking a chance on something that may not make sense at the time, because you never know what it may lead to down the road.Don’t burn bridges. It’s never a good idea to burn a bridge, no matter how good you think it will feel. Down the line, you may run into the person you collided with in a situation where they have all the cards.
