The J. Sterling Hughes Show
I share how my team and I have grown our family law firm, Sterling Lawyers, from zero to 25+ lawyers and $15m a year in revenue since 2014.
The purpose is to document what's working and not working so you can re-contextualize for your practice and shorten your success curve.
We are so open about what we are doing because we want to help other lawyers build a beautiful law firm, even if you "compete" with us.

Steal Our Powerful Law Firm Culture Tool - #81
I’m excited to take you behind the scenes of how we've crafted a thriving and cohesive culture at Sterling Lawyers, despite the challenges of having 75 teammates spread across three states and three countries.
We've discovered a powerful tool that brings us together—our bi-weekly meeting known as "The Summons."
This 30-minute gathering, held over the lunch hour, has become more than just a meeting. It’s a space where connections are strengthened, a common language is developed, and our shared vision is reinforced.
Here's what I describe:
- The origins and evolution of "The Summons"
- How it fosters team connection and a shared vision
- The light and fun agenda that includes:
- Shoutouts to team members
- Celebrating birthdays and anniversaries
- Playing Sterling Jeopardy and other interactive games
- Firm announcement
- Business project descriptions
- Joke-offs, talent showcases, and more!
The show concludes with one of our unscripted Summons for you to watch and see how it works.

I’m here to share my law firm’s secrets, tactics, and strategies of how we have grown from 0 to 25 attorneys and over $15m in revenue in our first nine years.
Yes! It’s true--even if you compete directly with us. I want to tell you the gritty truth on what worked, what failed, and where we are aiming next.
Here’s why.
My teammates and I envision transforming how family law clients are served.
And we can’t transform the practice of law all by ourselves. We need more lawyers growing their practice, kicking butt / taking names, and winning along with us.
So, follow me and ring that bell up top to get all my latest disclosures.

I also love me some fishin’ as often as I can. It’s also occasionally fun to catch a fish too!
