320. Trial Ready (Without a War Chest): Virtual Focus Groups Help Small PI Firms Get Max Case Value


Listen Later

When a high-value case walks through your door, you know this could be the catalyst that transforms your practice. But without substantial resources, you're faced with difficult choices: refer the case out for a fraction of its value or risk your entire practice.


Elizabeth Larrick discovered a third option.


In this episode of Personal Injury Mastermind, learn how virtual focus groups provide an innovative solution for small and mid-sized personal injury firms. Elizabeth explains how this approach allows firms to maximize case value without requiring the extensive resources traditionally needed to handle high-value cases.


Key insights:

  • Virtual focus groups can help firms identify case strengths and weaknesses early in the process
  • These cost-effective alternatives to traditional focus groups help small firms make strategic decisions about whether to litigate or settle
  • The approach allows attorneys to identify blind spots before major depositions and expert testimony
  • Focus groups can be conducted throughout the case timeline - as short as one hour early on, with longer sessions as trial approaches

  • Guest Details

    Elizabeth Larrick works primarily with solo practitioners and small to mid-sized firms, helping them make strategic decisions about high-value cases without requiring the traditional "war chest" that larger firms maintain.
