348. The Client-First Strategy Behind 25% More Personal Injury Cases w/ Monty Cain

The result: more signed cases, stronger case value, and referrals that snowball. You’ll learn: The intake shift that increased signed cases ~25% without extra ad spend. How asking better questions surfaces mild TBI in 15–20% of crash cases—and what to do next. Turning client experience into a marketing channel (reviews, returns, and referrals).
