Testimonials
“I wholeheartedly recommend the services of Jury Impressions. I used Mr. Cantor and his Company for the purposes of conducting a Focus Group for a complicated medical malpractice case pending in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond. For our Focus Group, Irv and his team recruited an excellent and representative panel of individuals that resembled what you typically find in a Richmond jury. The process that he uses allowed us to investigate and test the theories in our case. Since the case involved four (4) different defendant healthcare providers, in different subspecialties, the videotaped Focus Group discussions were invaluable in not only pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of our case, but also provided helpful information that we used in successfully mediating a substantial settlement for our client. Mr. Cantor’s services definitely added value to our case. I highly recommend Mr. Cantor and Jury Impressions to you for Focus Group Services.”

“Jury Impressions has been invaluable to the success of my cases, and is often the most important “discovery” you will do. On many occasions, we have learned specific weaknesses in our cases that we could address early on by meeting with our witnesses, or with experts, and turning these weaknesses into strengths that were ultimately critical to resolving our cases successfully. Irv Cantor and his staff do a fantastic job, and I would strongly recommend that you use them whenever possible in your cases.”

“Jury Impressions is an affordable, extremely professional jury consulting company that is indispensable to testing damages, lay and expert witnesses, venue, and audio–visuals, among innumerable other trial variables. Moreover, the experience, insight and guidance of Irv Cantor is invaluable. Our law firm’s Catastrophic Injury Group will never submit a significant case to trial without first employing Jury Impressions to conduct multiple jury focus group panels.”

“I was very pleased with Jury Impressions’ facility in conducting a virtual focus group. My firm will likely return to Jury Impressions for virtual focus groups because I foresee ‘social distancing’ likely a part of our lives for the foreseeable future.”

“As a trial lawyer, I enjoy working with Irv Cantor and Greg Boyajian when I need to pull together a focus group for a significant personal injury case. Jury Impressions will do all the work–and the result is an unbiased view of my case, together with information that I would not be able to obtain on my own. Putting on a focus group tells you how lay people see your case. In one of my cases, the focus jurors did not have a problem with the amount I sued for, making it easier for me to ask a jury for that same amount. And guess what? The jury returned a verdict for the same amount. I was pleased, as it was the highest verdict of my career!! Thanks to Irv and Greg. I appreciate all that you do for us as trial lawyers!”

“Well worth the investment. Jury Impressions helped us focus in on the most important themes and facts that were crucial to our trial presentation. Watching jurors react to and discuss the case allowed us to emphasize important aspects of our case and also anticipate defense arguments that resonated with the jury. Additionally, we were able to directly communicate with the jurors after their decision and ask specific questions about our case and their verdict. The information that we learned from the focus group was woven into voire dire, opening statement and our examination of witnesses.”

“I have used Jury Impressions on several occasions to test themes and value for my cases. They do fabulous work in arranging a representative pool of mock jurors from the venue and put on a presentation well worth the investment. The videos from the deliberations provide excellent ammunition for convincing adjusters of the verdict value of your case. Irv Cantor’s vast experience as a trial lawyer is a value multiplier. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”

“Jury Impressions, Irv Cantor and his staff are great. I needed help to focus on a very complicated medical malpractice case and they gave me exactly what I needed. Rather than a pat on the back for how well I had lined up my case, I got the constructive criticism I needed to re-tool my evidence and experts. Irv and his staff made this a very easy process and were sensitive to costs during the entire process. The presentations and deliberations were videotaped for us to dissect later at our leisure. And, although they worked with us on a very liberal time-line in terms of the trial date (because of a continuance), they were also willing to do back flips on short notice before the continuance. I would not hesitate to use and/or recommend Jury Impressions in the future. The bottom line is that this worked out tremendously well for my client, for which I give a large measure of credit to the focus group conducted by Irv and Jury Impressions.”
