Our Process 
Focus groups used to be a time-consuming, expensive, and laborious process. And some still are. But they don’t need to be. Legal Focus Group has brought this process into the digital age making it more efficient, more cost-effective, and more reliable.
We tailor each session to your needs – jurisdiction, demographics, timeline, etc. We pull from a pool of qualified and verified participants based on your parameters. Each session includes six-12 participants and lasts about 90 minutes. They are held online in a secure video conference room, which means people don’t have to find your office, and we can get right down do it.
Our process provides all the advantages of a traditional focus group, while making is faster, easier, more flexible, more affordable, and more reliable.
Subscription Options
We offer rates on a case-by-case basis or through a subscription service. Most all our clients end up utilizing our services over and over. Many firms handle at least a dozen cases per year with estimated case value or exposure greater than $25,000.
A subscription allows you to save on a service you will use throughout the year. The annual subscription option starts at 18 hours, i.e., 12, ninety-minute sessions with 12 participants per session.
Our goal is to save you time, resources, and provide better insight into the issues and value of the case at bar.
