Most law firms never crack $10M. Tim Semelroth did. In this episode, Sasha Berson unpacks how Tim went from college mock trial student to managing partner of a 17-lawyer, multi-office PI firm. Along the way, Tim ran his own PPC and TV ads before making a game-changing hire that scaled RSH Legal into one of Iowa’s top firms.
📰 About Tim Semelroth:
Tim Semelroth is the trail–blazing managing partner of RSH Legal, Iowa’s largest PI firm with 17 attorneys across three offices. A board-certified truck accident lawyer and lifelong trial advocate, Tim turned three “lucky strikes” into game-changing opportunities — streamlining his marketing, building systems, and scaling through acquisitions.
👉 Sasha and Tim explore:
— The three “lucky strikes” that shaped Tim’s career and firm growth
— How hiring a full-time marketing director became a major turning point
— The acquisitions and systems that helped RSH Legal scale past $10M
— How trial lawyers can balance case work with building a business
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Stop doing all your own marketing. Identify one task that you can delegate this week.
— Audit your caseload: if trial work is putting marketing on the back burner, it’s time to hire or outsource.
— Build systems that run without you (from intake to marketing) so your firm isn’t capped by your personal bandwidth.
