Most PI firms handle settlement planning and lien resolution in-house, creating bottlenecks and frustration at the most critical stage of client experience. In this episode of Personal Injury Mastermind, Jason Lazarus and Brian Adair reveal why specialized expertise in these areas doesn't just save time and money - it transforms client satisfaction and drives better reviews.
