Question for the private practice PI attorneys. On average, how many new cases do you have coming in per month? And how many cases are being settled in a month so you can get paid? Trying to gauge what a healthy case number looks like. And if you wouldn’t mind answering, what is your average monthly revenue from these cases? Thanks!

We have about 150 or so active cases in a 2 partner firm with 1 paralegal, we are just finishing up our first full year together (opened summer 2022), we’ve had a growing average monthly revenue but It’s been consistently 80+ the past 6 months, and the cases id estimate are about 5-8 new cases a month right now and settling the same amount, it’s a mixture of smaller settlements and bigger settlements so it helps raise the average

I dunno how to reply so I’ll reply to all above, sorry for delay. Too many years of experience, started at 10 years experience, should have done this 2-3 years ago. I work a lot, prob 50 hours at least, I haven’t taken a full day off since we opened, I have to do work nights abs weekends to keep up. Lastly how do I generate cases- lots of attorney referrals, networking like crazy, and we have a small marketing budget for google.
