How to Make a Return on Investing in Mass Tort Cases
Most law firm owners hear “mass torts” and think opportunity.
What they don’t see is the risk, the noise, and the number of firms quietly losing money.
In this episode, Moshe sits down with Kate Hoffman, founder of Smart Reviews, to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes — from how firms are using mass torts as a growth and tax strategy, to where things are breaking down with bad leads and fraud.
They walk through how to evaluate opportunities the right way, what separates a smart investment from a costly mistake, and why due diligence is the difference between strong returns and wasted spend.
This isn’t about chasing the next big case.
It’s about understanding how this space actually works so you can make better decisions with your time, money, and firm.
If you’ve ever considered mass torts — or you’re already investing and want to do it more effectively — this conversation will give you a clearer lens on what to look for and what to avoid.
Listen now to learn how to approach mass torts with more confidence, better judgment, and a strategy that actually supports your firm’s growth.
