497. The Owned Media Asset PI Firms Are Ignoring—Thousands of Listeners, Peer Referrals, and a Book
A packed main stage at a conference might reach 500 or 600 people. A single podcast episode can reach 5,000 or more. Chris Dreyer, founder and CEO of Rankings.io, makes the case for law firm podcasting, even though he resisted starting a show of his own as a self-described introvert. Six years in, he breaks down why a podcast keeps paying off in a way he hasn’t found in any other channel. In this episode, Chris walks through the five benefits of running a show, from the audience it builds to the relationships and lessons it creates along the way. Then he takes on the three biggest excuses: no time, no budget, and no experience behind a mic. You'll learn: How to start a law firm podcast when you’re nervous, short on time, and have never interviewed anyone. The five benefits of podcast marketing for lawyers, and why they compound over time. How one recording session turns into social content for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels. What a weekly show really costs, from an under-$100 mic to a full-service production agency. How a guest list can grow into peer referrals, a book, and a live event.

496. The $25M Case Every Lawyer Missed — and the Rule of Thumb That Finds It | Brian Chase, Bisnar Chase
A very well-known lawyer missed it. Brian Chase turned it into a $25 million verdict. Brian Chase, managing partner of Bisnar Chase, has spent 33 years in the courtroom and built his niche on auto defect cases that start out looking like ordinary car crashes. He’s back on the show for the first time since Episode 6. In this episode, Brian and Chris Dreyer get into how to spot a product failure inside a routine crash file and why collision avoidance technology is creating a new wave of cases. They also cover what goes into a culture that’s earned a Best Places to Work honor seven years running. Plus: Why law firms should shift their marketing targets away from routine auto cases in five or 10 years. You'll learn: The one-sentence rule of thumb for how to identify auto defect cases hiding in catastrophic crash files. What it costs to try a case against an automaker, and how a track record can shorten the timeline. Why collision avoidance technology lawsuits now cross the intake desk every week, even as the same tech makes cars safer. The case for keeping smaller auto cases in the mix, even when they don’t drive the revenue. How a blind, independent vote reflects law firm culture, and why staff stay for 20 and 30 years.

495. Stop Adding Tools, Start Adding Clarity: The $100M Framework PI Firms Are Missing | Ryan McKeen, Best Era
You could ask AI for a 1,000-page website right now. The real question is whether you should. Ryan McKeen built a three-time Inc. 5000 Connecticut trial firm and won a $100 million jury verdict with one big goal and EOS keeping everyone pointed at it. Now, as co-founder of Best Era, he helps small PI firms build their own law firm operating system with a stripped-down version of EOS for law firms called The Way. In this episode, Ryan and Rankings founder and CEO Chris Dreyer get into why AI has made the “how” nearly free and the “why” more valuable than ever. They also cover how a single goal can decide every yes and no inside a firm, and what new firm owners should focus on before anything else. You'll learn: Why the cost of “how” is approaching zero, and the bigger questions firm owners should ask instead. How to make EOS work for a law firm without director-level hires or a 10-year plan. How a BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) works as a filter for case selection, hiring, and spending, not just a motivational poster. What to do with your very first client when you’re starting a personal injury law firm from zero. Why an imperfect operating system still beats running a firm with none at all.

494. What 50 Years of PI Trials Teach You About Reinvention, Case Selection, and $95M Outcomes | Ira Leesfield, Leesfield & Partners
A $6 part. Twenty years of litigation to get motorcycle makers to install it. Ira Leesfield, founder and managing partner of Leesfield & Partners, has spent 50 years building a Florida trial firm on careful case selection and constant reinvention. The work has taken him into personal injury cases involving cruise ships, carbon monoxide poisoning, Legionnaires’ disease, and e-bikes. Sometimes it has taken him into the legislature to change the law itself. In this episode, Ira and Chris Dreyer get into why the best practice areas often find you and how a firm founded in 1976 still markets with journals and direct mail while landing cases from ChatGPT. They also cover what defense counsel tells the insurer when it sees Leesfield’s name on the complaint. Plus: the confidence gap holding back young trial lawyers, and the free program built to close it. You'll learn: How to choose a niche practice area, and why the strongest ones often start with a single case. Why case selection changes how insurers and defense counsel respond the moment an attorney files a complaint. How lawyer-to-lawyer referral marketing works when people know your name but not what you do. Where direct mail and journal ads still earn their place next to AI search. What Zoom depositions gain, and what they cost.

493. Stop Running Your Firm Like Everyone Else—Tesla's 5-Step Algorithm for PI
Why does your intake ask 25 questions before a client can sign? If the honest answer is “that’s how it’s always been done,” this one’s for you. Chris Dreyer, founder and CEO of Rankings.io, takes Elon Musk’s five-step algorithm, recently broken down by former Tesla president Jon McNeill, and applies it to law firm operations at PI firms. It’s the same framework behind scaling Tesla and SpaceX, pointed straight at your intake, your casework, and your calendar. In this episode, Chris walks through each step with real PI examples, from the first call to the final check, and makes the case that speed may be the most valuable thing a firm can offer. Plus: a one-question performance review, a shorter answer to the 90-minute L10, and an idea borrowed from J.G. Wentworth that could change how clients get paid. You'll learn: The five steps of Tesla’s Algorithm, and why automation comes dead last. Which requirements to question first if you want to streamline law firm intake. Why the real goal of law firm process improvement isn’t fewer employees. How to reduce time on desk, and why speed shapes the client experience as much as the settlement does. What to automate the moment an e-sign goes out.

492. Building a Litigation-First PI Firm: 95% of Cases Filed, Attorney Training, and Referral Growth | Rachel Flood, The Flood Law Firm
A $30,000 offer. A million-dollar verdict. That gap is exactly why The Flood Law Firm files suit on roughly 95% of its cases. Rachel Flood, director of operations at The Flood Law Firm, helped grow the Connecticut firm from four employees in 2014 to more than 100 today, with a litigation strategy built into every case from day one. She and her husband, trial attorney Brian Flood, have spent years proving a firm can excel in the courtroom and grow its business. In this episode, Rachel and Chris Dreyer discuss what changes when nearly every file is headed for suit, from how the pre-lit team builds cases to the in-house training that turns new attorneys into trial lawyers fast. Plus: how a firm built almost entirely on attorney referrals started advertising and kept the referrals coming. You'll learn: The post-accident checkpoint where cases move into suit, and what the pre-lit team builds before it arrives. Why soft tissue cases often pay more in litigation, and how personal injury bad faith claims can turn a $25,000 policy into a million-dollar verdict. How to train trial lawyers in-house with an annual program built on cases that already went to verdict. Why trial attorneys don’t get quotas, and what replaces them as the measure of a good result. How to add TV and billboards to an attorney referral practice without scaring off the lawyers who send you cases.

491. The AI-Native PI Firm: Generative Search, Medical Records, and Demand Letters Under One Strategy | Gina DeBoni & Michael Cerasa, Romanucci & Blandin
A question about a 2017 medical appointment came up in the middle of a team meeting. Thirty seconds later, the answer was on screen, linked to the exact record, and the meeting never broke stride. In this webinar replay, Gina DeBoni and Michael Cerasa of Romanucci & Blandin, a national trial firm, share what AI looks like when law firms take cases to trial. John Lowe of Rankings.io, who works with firms every day on how clients find them in AI search, joins them. The panel follows the client journey from first search to final review: how AI decides which firm to recommend, where it frees up real time inside the case, and the moments that a machine should never handle. You'll learn: How AI search engines recommend law firms, and the three-step framework that makes your firm easier for them to choose. Why decades of reputation and word of mouth may not matter when an injured person asks AI who to hire. What AI medical record review looks like in a case with banker’s boxes of files and nearly a decade of litigation. The pre-suit workflow that has a demand letter almost ready before the attorney is. Where AI stops and human judgment takes over in negotiations, demand letters, and client care.

490. $500M in 5 Years: Low Case Inventory, Trial-Ready Systems, and the New Product Liability Frontier | Brian LaCien, Smith LaCien
Over the past five years, Brian LaCien can’t recall a single one of his cases that settled before litigation. That’s not a flaw in the model. It is the model. Brian is a founding partner of Smith LaCien, a Chicago trial firm whose low-inventory approach to law firm growth has produced more than $500 million in results since 2020. The firm takes on the catastrophic, complex cases that rarely come with an easy settlement. In this episode, Brian and Rankings founder and CEO Chris Dreyer get into what it really takes to run a trial-ready firm, from mentorship and internal systems to knowing the medicine better than the defense’s own experts. Then they look ahead at the next wave of cases taking shape in self-driving vehicles, telemedicine, and AI-assisted healthcare. You'll learn: How to build a trial law firm that wins catastrophic cases, starting with where great trial lawyers actually come from. Why a low case inventory is a deliberate growth strategy, and the caseload where results start to slip. The internal systems that keep a lean trial team consistent without boxing lawyers in. What makes self-driving car product liability cases different from anything that came before. Where telemedicine malpractice risk really lies, and the standard of care that applies when doctors perform no physical exams.
