About 8th Juror, Ltd.

8th Juror was built for the messy middle — that critical crossroads where business smarts and legal muscle have to work hand in hand.


Knowing the law isn’t enough. Knowing business isn’t enough. To win where others stall out, you need counsel that understands both — and knows how to wield them together.


That’s where 8th Juror steps in.


Why the name?


Watch 12 Angry Men. (The black-and-white classic with Henry Fonda — skip the remake.)


Pay close attention to Juror #8. Watch how he handles pressure, conflict, and big personalities. Notice his persistence, his calm under fire, his refusal to be bullied by ego or noise.


If you still don’t see why we chose this name after the credits roll, give us a call. We’re happy to unpack it with you. 😉
