Law Firm Lead Gen Playbook with Davina Frederick
Tue Feb 03 2026
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.
If you feel stuck in a referral rut, overwhelmed by marketing noise, or unsure how to scale without doing more yourself, this conversation offers clarity and direction.

Why referral-based firms almost always hit a revenue ceilingThe mindset shift required to scale beyond solo hustleWhy staying “in the question” unlocks better strategy and decisionsHow AI can expand thinking instead of replacing expertiseWhy marketing is data, not failure or successHow to choose marketing channels that fit both your audience and youWhy copying other firms’ strategies rarely worksHow to build a client attraction system that doesn’t depend on youThe difference between vision, strategy, and executionWhy your real job as a firm owner is being the visionary
💡 Featuring:
Karin and Davina explore how law firm owners get trapped by outdated ideas of authority, visibility, and control. They discuss why modern clients arrive informed, how AI and Google have changed trust dynamics, and why firms must show up as credible humans, not untouchable experts.
