Law Firm Lead Gen Playbook with Davina Frederick

Most law firms don’t have a lead generation problem.

They have a dependency problem.

In this episode of Counsel Cast, host Karin Conroy sits down with Davina Frederick, Florida licensed attorney, two-time author, and founder of Wealthy Woman Lawyer.

Together, they unpack why referral-based growth quietly caps your firm, how mindset directly impacts marketing effectiveness, and why most lawyers struggle to scale past their own personal hustle.

Davina shares how law firm owners can move from unpredictable referrals to a systematic, scalable client attraction model, without relying on being everywhere, doing everything, or burning out in the process.

This episode bridges strategy, mindset, and modern marketing realities, including AI, social platforms, ads, and delegation, to help firm owners step fully into their role as visionary leaders.
