In this episode, Jim, Tyson and podcast host Nick Werker discuss how Maximum Lawyer began and its growth in popularity, the biggest financial mistakes new lawyers can make, how attorneys should react to the recent acceleration in AI technology and much more! About our guests: For more than a decade, Tyson Mutrux has had the privilege and pleasure of providing personal injury services for Americans from all walks of life. Having built his practice from scratch, and now managing multiple office locations and a team of 22, he's completed a crash course in scaling and growing a successful firm - with more mistakes and wins than you can count. Now, having built and implemented systems to improve his own law firm, he's motivated to support fellow attorneys and practice owners so they can avoid making the same time-consuming mistakes he did. Jim Hacking graduated in 1997 from the Saint Louis University School of Law. He opened his own practice in 2007. He was named the Best Lawyer in St. Louis by the Riverfront Times (twice). In the 15+ years of running his own practice, he's dedicated his time and energy to immigration law and helping those less fortunate than himself to become citizens of this great country. He is passionate about uniting families and protecting rights, and has made it his mission to uphold those values for those who can’t fight for themselves.
