Welcome to episode 345 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Bert Parnall, Founder of Parnall Law. Bert shares how he helped grow Parnall Law from a small personal injury practice into a firm with 19 attorneys and more than 110 team members.
The conversation focuses on the practices behind sustained growth, including building a strong culture, hiring selectively, developing leaders, strengthening intake, and creating disciplined planning rhythms. Bert also explains why a client-first mission, clear core values, and a commitment to team development have helped the firm generate more referrals and scale without losing focus on the people it serves.
