In this episode, Jim and Tyson interview Shawn Hamp, a criminal defense lawyer who lives in the Cincinnati area and has an office in Arizona. They will go over his business and how does he run the law firm remotely. Management, employees, clients, intake, systems, logistics, team communication and more!
A lifestyle decisión:
Shawn and his wife decided to raise their kids in Cincinnati where they’d be close to their family. So he would have to run his law firm remotely...
“It was kind of the second leap that I had to make. The first leap was going out on my own after leaving the county attorney's office.”
There were a lot of steps to make this happen. Some of them:
- Figure out what type of courts that he could appear remotely in.
- Coordinate logistics logistics of computer systems and phone systems.
- Key hires of attorneys that could do the day to day court.
“Basically what I do full time now is work on marketing, intake and administration of the office. It’s business development. Fortunately, that is the kind of stuff that I love doing.”
Also, they will discuss the difference between finding clients remotely in small cities and big cities.
“I have a competitive advantage because I am a big fish in a small pond…Even if it’s remotely”

Hacking’s hack:
A book. Willpower Doesn't Work: Discover the Hidden Keys to Success. by Benjamin Hardy.
It’s about how we need to spend more time setting up our environment for success.
Shawn’s tip and hack:
Hack: An app: BIGVU: A teleprompter video recorder so you can do selfie cam videos while reading the text from the screen of your phone.
BIGVU APP
Tip: Focus on local search. Because everything these days is about above the fold on Google, being on map packs, being on mobile search. Getting reviews. Making sure your name and address are correct. SEO. Traditional content is changing.

I listen to every podcast, Saturday morning shows, HotSeats, etc. The information and ideas I learn from
each one. I may only receive a nugget of information, or feel encouraged that I am not the only one
going through something.

The podcast and fb group has been life altering. I always felt like I would never know enough to hang my
own shingle and employ people, but here I am, killing it. Lots of actionable steps for working on mindset,
business (some I had to go outside of law to learn) and really gathering attorneys who are willing to
share and lift up others, as opposed to tearing other attorneys down. I first heard about the podcast on
Ernie the Attorneys podcast and how they were doing amazing stuff. And they continue to do so. Now if
we could bring back maxlawcon I’d be over the moon.

From Capacity to Capability: Making the Call to Add a Seat on the Bus
The difference between capacity and capability is crucial to knowing when it is time to bring somebody onboard. Capacity is about the numbers. How many people do you have currently and how many tasks are getting completed? Capability is about leveraging the right skills and innovation to grow your business. Focus on hiring someone who will be an asset and will give you the leverage needed to be a better company.
