  • Still Worth It? The Long-Term Value of Legal Directories in 2025 with Jason Craver
    2025/08/13
    Legal directories probably aren’t something you think about very often, but you should. Why? Because when done right, they can be a hidden growth engine for your law firm. And in this episode, Sasha Berson talks with Jason Craver of Attorney at Law Magazine, one of the sharpest minds in legal marketing, to unpack exactly how to use directories to your advantage.📰 About Jason Craver:Jason’s been in the legal marketing world for over a decade. He’s been running legal directory strategy for Attorney at Law Magazine for the past 6+ years, and he’s studied the entire landscape, from Avvo’s fall from grace to the rise of Justia, Super Lawyers, and FindLaw. The guy knows the legal SEO game inside and out, and he doesn’t sugarcoat what works today.👉 Sasha and Jason explore:– The biggest shifts in directory SEO since Google started prioritizing local results.– Why measuring ROI on directories is tricky, and what not to do.– Which directories are worth your time and money, and which are dead weight.– How to build a smart, layered digital marketing strategy that includes directories as one of the pillars.– Why so many lawyers miss the mark by expecting directories to deliver direct leads.👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:– Use legal directories to boost your SEO, not as your main lead source. Treat them as authority builders, not magic lead funnels.– Track ROI the right way, look for improvements in search rankings, not just calls or form fills.– Focus on the 3-4 directories that dominate Page 1 in your market (like Justia, Super Lawyers, FindLaw). Skip the rest.– Build your law firm referral network early, use that cash flow to fund smarter long-term marketing plays like SEO and directories.– Audit your directory listings twice a year, make sure info is up-to-date and your profile is fully optimized.If you enjoyed today’s show, please leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    Gabriel is a systems thinker, legal tech founder, and former law firm COO who saw a massive hole in the referral process and built Lexamica to fill it.

    — The hidden revenue stream you already have but probably aren’t using

  • How to Create Effective Landing Pages That 3x Your Conversions – with Mary Blackiston
    2025/07/23

    What if your website is actually turning people away instead of converting them into clients? In this episode, Sasha sits down with Mary Blackiston, a conversion copywriter who transforms dry, robotic law firm content into persuasive, human-centered copy that actually converts.


    📰 About Mary Blackiston:

    Mary is a copywriter with a deep focus on conversion. She helps law firms ditch the generic “we fight for you” language and finally sound like real people that clients actually want to call. Her superpower? Making service pages, homepages, and bios sound human, emotional, and persuasive.


    👉 Sasha and Mary explore:

    — Why most law firm websites are leaking leads because of bland content

    — How Mary turns “meh” content into magnetic, high-converting copy

    — The danger of sounding like every other lawyer online

    — Real examples of law firm copy that actually books more consults

    — How to tell if your current content is helping or hurting your business


    👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

    — Start by auditing your homepage and law firm landing pages to make sure they don’t sound like every other firm.

    — Eliminate legal jargon and tired phrases like “aggressive advocate” or “we fight for you,” and replace them with clear, emotional language that connects.

    — Write your website copy the same way you’d talk to a potential client in person – like a human, not a legal textbook.

    — Shift the focus of your content from your credentials to your clients’ needs by showing empathy and understanding their pain points.

    — Read your content out loud and ask yourself if it makes you feel anything; if it doesn’t, rewrite it to inspire trust and action.

  • The $10M Law Firm Framework Every Owner Should Know with Hamid Kohan
    2025/07/16

    What if you could turn a $1M/year firm into $2M in annual profit, without adding 80 hours to your week or guessing your way through it? In this episode, Sasha Berson hosts Hamid Kohan, a Silicon Valley engineer turned legal-tech mogul who’s helped scale nearly a thousand law firms. They break down the exact blueprint, from virtual staffing to backend systems to AI, that law firm owners can follow to explode profitability.


    📰 About Hamid Kohan:

    Hamid Kohan is the founder of LegalSoft, MedVirtual, Presence360, Practice.AI, and several other companies that serve the legal and medical industries. His work focuses on helping firms grow through a combination of staffing, systems, and technology. He also co-owns a law firm in California, operating under the state’s non-attorney ownership model.


    👉 Sasha and Hamid explore:

    — The surprising reason most $1M law firms never cross $2M in profit.

    — Why chasing more leads is not the answer (and what to fix instead).

    — How virtual staffing actually works, and why your skepticism is costing you millions.

    — The fastest way to scale to $10M in revenue and $2M in personal profit.

    — What law firm owners must understand about the 50/50 split between front-end and back-end growth.


    👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

    — Build both your marketing engine and operational backend in tandem, as scaling requires both sides growing together.

    — Hire virtual staff the smart way. Don’t just “outsource”, integrate them into your workflow to free up your attorneys and boost capacity.

    — Plug in AI tools to automate intake, records summary, and document drafting.

    — Shift your mindset from “lawyer with a business” to “business owner who runs a law firm”, then act like a CEO.
