- Chris Amos, Director of Business Development, American Association for Justice
“I thought ROI 2010 was simply terrific. I learned a lot, and couldn’t wait to discuss it with my firm. It was an eye opener almost to the point of being an epiphany. Then I came to ROI 2011 – All I can say is WOW!!!!”
- Jeff Liggio, Liggio Benrubi – Florida
“I came down to the last meeting in Tampa cautiously optimistic – I left a true believer. I thought my firm was computer savvy and that I understood the Internet. I found out that what I don’t know about the Internet would fill Mobile Bay. I am totally convinced that this is the future path for law firms like mine.”
- Pete Mackey, Burns, Cunningham and Mackey – Alabama
“I have been going to legal seminars for over 20 years – this meeting provided me with more valuable information about marketing my firm and helping our cause of helping injured people, than any other that I have ever been to. Not to mention the video, the Web analysis, the hospitality and the inspiration! BRAVO!!”
- David Mittleman, Church Wyble – Michigan
“I felt this was the most unique conference/seminar I had ever attended. The speakers were diverse not only in their backgrounds but also their topics and opinions. It was an eye-opening event for me.”
-Tom Hastings, The Hastings Firm – Indiana
“Thanks for another outstanding Radius of Influence Conference. The venue was perfect; the speakers were outstanding and innovative. I have said it before and I will say it again. This is the best, most innovative “out-of-the-box” legal marketing, branding, rebranding, practice development tool on the planet! Keep up the good work!”
- Mark Bello, Lawsuit Financial – Michigan
“Great event! Your hard work and exceptional planning paid off! Thanks for letting us be a part of your wonderful program.”

- Tor Hoerman, TorHoerman Law – Illinois
“ROI 2011 was fabulous. The speakers were fabulous. We also met a lot of great attorneys and had some fun too (maybe too much fun).”
- Jon Lewis, Lewis, Feldman & Lehane – Alabama
“The conference was great, not least for the technical stuff; I was also tremendously impressed by the obvious passion of the organization. The commitment of this group to the concept of justice and to changing the dialogue regarding trial lawyers is very heartening.”
- David Rowell, The Rowell Law Office – California
“This approach has been a tremendous asset to us in terms of cases, referrals and developing lasting relationships with others. It is also a rather unique opportunity to join in the battle of promoting accurate information and guidance to those who need it most. I can certainly attest, based on our experience, that any firm that gets involved and uses its full potential will certainly see the rewards.”
- Brandon Smith, Childers Schlueter & Smith LLC – Georgia
“It was truly an eye-opening experience. You had some terrific speakers and it was a pleasure to meet so many others in the audience. We came back to Rochester with renewed determination and some great ideas, I can tell you.”
- Jim Suk, Suk Law Firm – Minnesota

- Ilona Demenina, The Ferraro Law Firm – Florida
“I want to thank you for inviting me to ROI 2011. Great conference, people and locale. I remain impressed with all you guys do.”
- Tom D’Amore, D’Amore Law Group – Oregon
“It was very refreshing to gather at ROI 2011 with lawyers and share information with those who are like minded and whose primary goal is not to drive you out of business and have you delivering pizzas on the weekend. It was probably a lot like the Florida Academy of Trial Lawyers was 30 years ago. I can’t remember enjoying the company of other lawyers so much, this was a fun bunch of people to hang out with, and some are competitors for the same clients. The amenities were great, the location superb and the staff’s attention to detail was second to none.”
- Steve Lavely, Lavely & Whyte – Florida
“Tom and his crew did a phenomenal job with ROI 2011. Great speakers and content. If you didn’t attend this year’s meeting, you should plan to attend next year.”
- Jason Lazarus, Settlement Law Firm – Florida
“When I was a brand-new lawyer in 1995, I went to a Florida Academy of Trial Lawyers seminar, and after hearing Dale Swope, Jeff Liggio and Richard Shapiro speak, I knew I had found my heroes. After going to ROI 2011 this week – I’ve got that same feeling except it feels like I’ve found my brothers and sisters. If you feel like a little guy in the trenches, doing the lawyer thing mainly because you want to do good, and you are disgusted by where the big tv guys have brought us all (because to the general public we are all the same and the perception of us is not good), and you feel like there’s not much you can do to change where the tides have taken us, brother and sister go check out the ROI conference.”
- Kathryn Fenderson Scott, Scott & Fenderson – Florida
