On this episode of The Wellness Esquire Podcast, Ariella Cohen Coleman sits down with Samah Abukhodeir, founder and managing partner of The Florida Probate & Family Law Firm.
How do you build a 50-person law firm without burning out your team—or yourself?
Samah shares how she created a culture-first firm where employee wellbeing, clear client boundaries, and smart systems drive real growth. From growing up on food stamps to running a multi-million dollar practice, she breaks down the mindset, structure, and decisions that made it possible.
They also get into what it actually takes to scale while raising two young kids, why she chose to merge firms with her husband despite the risks, and how ignoring outside noise became one of her greatest advantages.
If you’re rethinking the billable-hour model, struggling with burnout, or trying to grow a firm without losing your life in the process—this conversation will challenge how you think about success in law.
