PI Perspectives

PI Perspectives is a working investigator's trade show, hosted by Matt Sperry. The subject is the job itself: how cases are built, how referrals travel, how an investigator finds clients, and where the profession's ethical lines sit. Guests come from law firms, nonprofits, education companies and industry conferences. Josh Wooten, from Turnbull, Mark and Pendergrass, returns to break down the life cycle of a personal injury case. That conversation gets specific about internal process, an intake department taking a case in, case development reps building the file, and the difference between running set procedures and talking strategy with a paralegal or an attorney. Understanding what the firm's end game is turns out to be most of the job. Accident reconstruction and national law firm work sit in the same episode. Iris Eytan takes the show somewhere heavier. She talks about a career's worth of noticing things that did not sit right, about being hired in 2021 to represent Barry Morphew in a year-long representation before the case was dismissed, and about eventually leaving her practice to start the nonprofit Protect Ethical Prosecutors. The conversation is candid about who really holds power in the legal system. A different episode is a straight business lesson. A guest explains how continuing legal education webinars work as a channel, covering ethics, cyber and a lot of AI content because people are unsettled by it, alongside trust and estate, family law, employment law and criminal work. Investigators can sponsor, run a poll during a session, place an ad in the materials, or teach a CLE themselves, and the host has done one. Kelly Riddle and Isaac Peck sit for a roundtable on a 2025 investigator survey. Judie Saunders comes on to discuss sexual assault litigation. Jay Marin previews the NALI conference and the talk turns to holding the industry to a higher standard, and to the value of a network where a question about products liability goes straight to a specialist who has a guy for the strangest possible detail. The rapport is warm and needling; Josh is introduced as the host's evil twin from Alabama, and Jay gets teased by name. There is a public-service streak too, with a phone number given out for reporting suspicious activity in any state and encouragement to report a job that still feels wrong after it is finished. Sponsor reads are frequent and unmissable, covering insurance policy research, business insurance for investigators and security firms, a training institute teaching surveillance, insurance fraud, nursing home and domestic investigations, and a free industry events calendar. Episodes close the same way each week, with contact details and an instruction to stay safe out there. It is not built for casual crime listeners. It is built for the people doing the work.
