I want the ace of spades.” Dirk believes the ace of spades is jury focus groups. He believes this, because Derrick Law Firm has conducted 400 juries since 2019 and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. “Right now, we've got people signed up in every county in the state, so we’re gonna take it statewide so that we also have cases on almost every county in the state,” he tells Pearl Carey , on the firm’s professional staff,  As Dirk explains, focus groups take away the leverage that insurance companies have typically held over plaintiffs. He envisions a time when the firm will have enough data from focus groups to benefit the entire state by curbing the flow of unnecessary litigation.
