What if the secret to building a seven-figure practice isn't spending millions on ads but becoming the go-to regional referral partner for out-of-state powerhouses?


When Travis Meltzer left insurance defense to launch Valley Injury Law, he had zero clients, zero funding, and nothing but a laptop. Within six months, he had 200 cases. His secret? Not a massive ad budget, but a revolutionary approach to becoming the go-to regional referral partner for powerhouse firms.


We discuss:

  • The unexpected strategy that brought 200 cases in just six months
  • How cold outreach created a "first call" status with major out-of-state firms
  • A counterintuitive approach to case management that clients love
  • The digital tool that's transforming how small firms acquire cases
  • Why hiring decisions make or break a firm's growth trajectory
  • Finding the sweet spot between local identity and regional reach
