BASED UPON THE STUDY DATA...

While there are some differences in gender distribution and income between segments, none are sufficient to clearly identify which segment a prospective client will be in. However, attorneys must recognize the preponderance of clients under 50 who are conflicted and assume that many prospects of that age are likely to feel the same.
