Robert Simon · Tom Dickerson

Robert SimonTom Dickerson

Do you have spine cases in your Firm?

Did you know that there are secrets to unlock seven and even eight figure potential on these cases?

Did you know that often, low policy limits in these cases are not a problem, and that can you proceed and collect your entire seven or eight figure judgment?

Spine cases are the most common cases that personal injury attorneys deal with. Bob Simon and Tom Dickerson will walk you through how they identify, build, and try seven and eight figure spine cases. From identifying the cases with potential from the second a client walks into the door, all the way to trial, they will show you how they have obtained seven and eight figure spine verdicts and settlements in their own practices using methods that simply work, even with conservative juries. This will be an extremely practical program where you will be able to take home tips that you will be able to immediately implement in your practice.
