Struggling to scale your family law practice? In this interview, I sit down with Deidra Haynes, who transformed her Indianapolis firm from $129,000 to $2.1 million in just three years—with projections of $3.7 million in 2025. 

We tackled her incredible growth about:

  • How a single Facebook ad and a $1 investment changed everything when she had no clients
  • The counterintuitive "Mentor Mindset" that led her to study elite PI attorneys despite practicing family law
  • Her strategic evolution from answering calls herself using different names to building a sophisticated intake team
  • The critical CEO transition that took her from working early hours with a full caseload to complete removal from casework
  • How faith-driven decision making gave her courage to make bold investments others would consider reckless

Listen in for practical insights from someone who has walked the path from struggling solo practitioner to building a thriving firm. Deidra's authentic journey provides actionable strategies whether you're trying to break six figures or scale into the millions.
