  • How Systems Replace Hustle in a Scalable Practice With Allison Williams

    How Systems Replace Hustle in a Scalable Practice With Allison Williams
    Jan 30 2026
    Welcome to episode 316 of Grow Your Law Firm. In this episode, Ken is joined by Allison Williams, a longtime practicing attorney turned law firm growth coach and founder of Law Firm Mentor. Allison shares her personal journey from burnout and near disaster to building multiple seven-figure businesses by systematizing every part of her firm and eliminating what she calls "crushing chaos."

    The conversation explores why being a great lawyer has little to do with being great at running a business, how lack of systems keeps firms stuck in overwhelm, and why working harder is often the worst possible strategy. Allison and Ken dig into practical, realistic ways law firm owners can regain control of their time, improve profitability, and build firms that support both professional success and personal life. The discussion also tackles AI's growing role in law firms, where it adds leverage, where it creates risk, and how it can dramatically reduce training time and operational costs when used correctly.

  • Rescuing Missed Cases: How AI Is Fixing Law Firm Intake With David and Hayden Haskins

    Rescuing Missed Cases: How AI Is Fixing Law Firm Intake With David and Hayden Haskins
    Jan 16 2026
    Welcome to episode 314 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken is joined by brothers Hayden and David Haskins, co-founders of SPEED.AI, a platform built to solve one of the most expensive and overlooked problems in law firms: lost leads during intake.

    The conversation dives deep into how AI can finally give law firm owners real visibility into what actually happens on intake calls, why traditional call audits fail at scale, and how missed details on a single call can mean losing six- or seven-figure cases. Hayden and David explain how SPEED.AI analyzes every intake call in real time, flags "lead leaks," rescues rejected cases, and gives firms a second chance to capture revenue they already paid to generate.


    What you'll learn in this episode:
    1. Intake as a Hidden Revenue Leak
      - Why firms lose valuable cases during intake without realizing it
      - How small mistakes on calls can cost six- and seven-figure fees

    2. AI-Powered Lead Rescue in Action
      - Identifying rejected or mishandled calls that should have been signed
      - Recovering high-value cases within minutes of the intake ending

    3. Why Traditional Call Audits Fall Short
      - The limits of manual reviews and CRM records
      - How AI provides real visibility into what actually happens on calls

    4. Improving Intake Performance at Scale
      - Using call analysis to coach agents and spot training gaps
      - Tracking performance trends without listening to hours of recordings

    5. Maximizing Marketing ROI Through Intake Optimization
      - Protecting the leads firms already paid to generate
      - Why intake efficiency matters more than ever in a competitive market
