Focus Groups

For Legal Case Strategy

At PowerHouse Mediation, we offer high-impact legal focus groups to help attorneys test case themes, uncover blind spots, and fine-tune trial strategy—long before stepping into a courtroom.

Whether you’re evaluating a civil claim, exploring settlement posture, or preparing a high-value matter for trial, our focus group sessions deliver meaningful insights straight from neutral participants. These sessions can help you sharpen your arguments, validate key themes, and assess how a diverse audience may interpret your case.

What is a Legal Focus Group?

A legal focus group is a pretrial tool where a panel of laypeople reviews selected aspects of a case—such as facts, arguments, or key exhibits—and provides candid feedback. Attorneys use this input to: Assess strengths and weaknesses Identify how jurors may perceive parties, issues, or damages Refine themes, witness prep, or opening statements Guide settlement decisions with data-informed insight At PowerHouse, our neutrals and consultants facilitate both live and virtual focus groups for attorneys and law firms across the U.S.
