For Lawyers
What if your argument is weak, but no one told you?
FOCUS KC provides you with objective jurors, so you can see and hear the unvarnished truth. You will be free of the confirmation bias from doing your own focus groups.
Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art cameras and microphones. You get a real-time feed in a private, comfortable setting, allowing for discreet observation of deliberations and instant feedback.
Our jurors will tell you if your argument is strong…or weak.
Focus groups give you and your team insight into juror reactions, questions, and emotions at every stage of your trial. This helps identify biases early.
FOCUS KC’s participant-vetting system allows us to maintain a deep pool of active and engaged jurors, available for single-use or for a series of sessions. Our central Kansas City location provides convenient access for jurors and legal teams.
