Are there ways to obtain case valuations without doing a full blown focus group? Perhaps based of a demand letter or thorough written summary of the case? Or are there ways to get focus groups for $2,000 or less? Thanks.

The vast majority of personal injury cases settle without the need for any sort of focus group. Like 95%+. After a certain period of time of practicing you generally know what the value of a particular case is after discovery is done, and sometimes earlier. I only utilize focus groups on 7 figure cases that you know may end up going to trial.

Thank you. My question mainly focused on ways to get valuations outside of focus groups though. Also, the case in mind is potentially a seven figure case or at least very high six figures.

CaseMetrix can provide you with the results of cases that have similar facts. I’ve used them a few times.

Hi everyone, I have recently given interviews to Amazon, and all the rounds went well according to me.

Could you sharks help me out with experience because it’s the first time i am switching a company. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)
