Success doesn't always look glamorous—it often starts with a hard conversation, a bold decision, and a leap of faith.
At TLTurner Group, we get a front-row seat to the quiet courage of Law Firm owners. The ones who reach out not because things are going great—but because they know they need to change.
The ones who admit, “I don’t really understand my numbers,” or “I’m scared to look at the books,” and do it anyway.
This post is a celebration of them.
These aren’t just client stories. These are real-life transformations—made possible by clarity, courage, and customized strategy.
From a $500K Loss to a $32K Monthly Profit
Not long ago, a criminal defense firm came to us in crisis.
They had lost over $500,000 in just one year and were surviving on loans and credit cards. The stress was immense. Cash flow was bleeding. Confidence was shot.
What We Did:
We started with a Financial Health Checkup & Planning Session.
Identified hidden financial risks.
Created a clear, custom turnaround plan.
Coached them monthly on execution and accountability.
The Results:
Went from losing $41,000/month.
To profiting $32,000/month (after salaries + expenses).
No more debt-fueled survival—just smart, sustainable growth.
They didn’t need a miracle. They just needed a strategy and a team they could trust.
Small Shifts, Big Gains: The Lawyer Who Finally Raised Their Prices
One solo practitioner had been charging under market rate for years. She worried that raising prices would drive clients away.
But her caseload was overwhelming—and her profit margins were paper thin.
What We Did:
Ran a case profitability analysis.
Calculated her break-even point per case.
Helped her restructure her pricing model.
The Results:
Increased average case revenue by 43%.
Reduced her caseload while doubling her take-home profit.
Clients stayed—and valued her more.
She went from burnout to balance. All by charging what her work was truly worth.
Hiring with Confidence: Building a Scalable Team
Another firm was stuck between too many cases and too few hands. They needed to hire—but weren’t sure if they could afford it.
What We Did:
Used our Salary-to-Profitability Calculator.
Built a model showing exactly how much new revenue was needed.
Created a 90-day on-boarding + financial accountability plan for new hires.
The Results:
Hired a new associate confidently and sustainably.
Revenue and case throughput improved.
Owner finally took their first two-week vacation in years.
They didn’t just hire a team—they bought back their life.
What Do These Stories Have in Common?
They all started with one thing:
A Decision to Take the Leap.
To look at the real numbers. To ask for help. To do the uncomfortable thing for a more sustainable tomorrow.
