Welcome to episode 348 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Anthony Bux, VP, Legal Solutions at Sanguine Strategic Advisors. Anthony explains how Sanguine helps personal injury law firms evaluate lead generation vendors, avoid costly marketing mistakes, and make smarter decisions about client acquisition. The conversation focuses on when lead generation makes sense, what law firms need to have in place before buying leads, and why internal intake infrastructure is often the difference between wasted spend and profitable case acquisition. Anthony shares how Sanguine vets providers, monitors quality, helps firms understand cost per case, and protects lawyers from vendors that may create performance, compliance, or ethics risks. Ken and Anthony also discuss market saturation, rising acquisition costs, legal advertising rules, and why firms need to keep their pipelines full while continuing to build their own brands.
