About Derrick Law Firm

Dirk Derrick is the founder of Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers in South Carolina and a pioneer in using large-scale focus groups, AI, and data analytics to uncover and leverage truth in personal injury cases. Frustrated by the leverage insurance companies gain through time, money, and uncertainty, Dirk began conducting large-scale focus groups in 2015 to capture real juror deliberations, discovering that truth reduces uncertainty and creates powerful negotiating leverage.

What began as an experiment evolved into a complete restructuring of the firm. Derrick Law Firm built in-house courtrooms and integrated jury research into cases involving punitive damages, permanency, or disputed liability unless the insurance company paid policy limits. By uncovering the truth early, the firm helps clients recover real value faster.

In the first six years, the firm’s average case value increased 150%, revenue grew 700%, and client intake rose 600%. The firm expanded from five attorneys to 33 attorneys with 10 offices and six in-house courtrooms across South Carolina.

Dirk has gathered data from 25,000+ citizens and 10,000+ juror decisions. Working with data scientists, he developed a proprietary analytics platform that transforms juror insight into negotiation and trial leverage. Today, he partners with plaintiff attorneys nationwide, helping them replace guesswork with data-driven preparation.
