CLIENT INTAKE.
We can talk all day long about legal reputation and skills at trial, but if somebody hears that you are a good lawyer and that your firm is a good firm and they call and that first phone call doesn’t goes well, they are not gonna hire you. (..) Earning their trust and getting them to hire you, starts with the first call.

It really does a great job of looking at things from a juror’s perspective, a judge’s perspective, clients perspective and bringing attorneys back to what really matters, but doing it through the trial window which is really such an important thing to most attorneys.
