Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.
Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need personal injury attorneys, who else gets a call that same week?
Personal injury attorneys sell to individuals and households, and most of the work starts when somebody gets hurt. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Most clients buy once, so the flow of new names is the whole business.
- Injurywhen somebody gets hurt
- Auto collisionwhen somebody gets in a car accident
- Lawsuit or claimwhen somebody gets sued
- Storm damagewhen a named storm comes through

State bar practice sections
Most personal injury attorneys join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Classes, standards, and lawyers who share cases. The exception is across practice areas. Estate and family lawyers refer to each other all the time. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licences, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.
State bar practice sections →Let us be straight with you. For personal injury attorneys, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
Is your seat open?
Prime Time takes one attorney personal injury per chapter. Put in a South Florida ZIP above and we will show you which seats are open.
