Pick a good tort and set up advertising. I assume you’ll want to refer cases (most or all). If so, you need a certain volume before the top firms will take your referrals.

Proceed with caution.

We’ve been in the space for almost ten years. I’ve seen a lot of referral firms chasing the unicorn and lose over a million dollars easy.

Having the right relationships is everything and can make or break you.

Also it’s a big budget investment. Minimum of six figures a year.

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

The offer from the large firm is for a pre-suit position, base salary of $100K - is this salary pretty standard for this kind of position?

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!

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.)
