About Jeff Hughes:
We operate Sterling Law daily with the conviction that we must empower clients enduring a family legal crisis, which are some of the most painful, bewildering moments of life.”
When someone utters the word “divorce,” specific images pop to mind. Expensive and never-ending bills, uncaring lawyers, and drawn out cases ending in heartache, to name just a few.
But why? Family law is supposed to be about serving people during some of the difficult moments of their life when they need a helping hand the most.
Jeff Hughes chose law as the platform to impact his community and the families in it. After working as a lawyer for many years, he saw that the status quo was broken, and radical changes had to be made.
As a co-founder of Sterling Law Offices, he turned his focus to obliterating the archaic family law “old school” system.
First, and this may strike you as crazy radical – Jeff does not want you as a client of the firm. He would much rather live in a world where families never broke apart. Sadly, that is not reality. The truth is that good, loving people find themselves in a family legal crisis.
Consequently, Jeff’s core belief is simple: “When people in my community find themselves in a family legal crisis, we desperately want to serve them. They need us. So, we are obsessed with creating a modern firm that focuses on them and their families. I have this unshakable conviction, that if we build a client-centered firm, we will be wildly successful. If we empower clients, we will dominate.

On this episode, host Darren Wurz gets candid about the real-world pros and cons of hiring a financial advisor—especially for independent, high-achieving attorneys and law firm owners.

Darren breaks down why so many lawyers choose the DIY route, the hidden costs of going it alone, and how professional advice might be the leap from “just getting by” to lasting wealth. He also shares exactly what to look for (and what to run from) when choosing an advisor, plus the red flags that could cost you big time.

The Wealth Secret No One Talks About–Make Saving a Bill (Ep. 112)
For most law firm owners, managing unpredictable income and the never-ending demands of the practice often means that saving becomes an afterthought. You might find yourself waiting for a “good month” or hoping there’s something left over at the end, only to realize those moments are rare.
On this episode, Darren lays out the psychological and practical barriers facing law firm owners when it comes to saving. Most of us prioritize immediate needs—firm expenses, payroll, and recurring bills—while treating savings as optional. However, your future self has real, unavoidable bills coming: healthcare, retirement, family obligations, and more.
By making savings as mandatory as rent or mortgage payments, you build a habit that removes emotion and inconsistency from your financial life. Darren doesn’t just talk theory—he provides direct examples from his own experience and those of his clients, and recommends straightforward tools to make saving automatic and sustainable.
 
Darren discusses:

* The psychology behind making savings a priority.
* How to overcome the hurdle of irregular income.
* Why law firm owners struggle with savings?
* Practical strategies for automating your savings.
* The downside of treating savings as an afterthought
* The importance of paying yourself first, in business and personal finances.
* How smart banking tools can transform your financial future.

About our guest:
As founding partner at Gang & Associates, Eric Gang’s service-focused approach and strategic vision have produced the nation’s premier firm for veterans’ disability law, serving veterans and their families across the country. Having practiced law for over 25 years, Eric has litigated more than 1,000 appeals at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, winning some of the largest VA awards on record. He attributes his long-standing reputation as an aggressive and tenacious veterans’ advocate to his being raised in a large and competitive family, instilling a balance of diligence, dedication, compassion, and respect.
Eric is renowned for his calculated representation of veterans with complex VA claims and appeals involving PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and other psychiatric illnesses. His high-level advocacy results from a deep understanding of the interrelationship between psychological and physical illness in veterans. With a noted wealth of medical acumen, Eric’s ability to apply the interrelationship between body systems in the legal setting has allowed him to develop strategic pathways to victory in cases that VA has repeatedly denied for decades. Simply put, Eric’s team wins cases others deem impossible.
Outside of law, Eric is an avid adventurer and explorer. He is married and has four children.
