the firm reflects the experience of the
00:06
lawyers in it
00:07
in my case i’ve tried everything from
00:11
ordinary state court criminal cases to
00:14
very complex patent infringement matters
00:17
um
00:17
so we do pretty much everything but it’s
00:20
all litigation
00:21
we’re we’re not a transactional firm we
00:24
generally try cases that are screwed up
00:26
in the transactions
00:33
that’s a great question what do you look
00:35
for in hiring a trial lawyer
00:38
i have a friend that’s a good example i
00:39
have a friend who’s the head of a
00:42
fortune 500 company in the oil business
00:45
and he had
00:46
an extraordinary lawsuit a difficult
00:48
lawsuit that he had to face and he told
00:50
me
00:50
he had hired the head of litigation at a
00:53
major law firm
00:55
and i said well tony how many cases has
00:57
he tried
00:59
and he said i don’t know i said well ask
01:01
him
01:02
and ask him how those cases came out
01:05
tony did that and he called me back and
01:07
he said
01:08
i asked him how many cases he had tried
01:10
and he said one
01:12
and then he said that it was settled in
01:14
the middle and i said well then he’s
01:15
tried no cases and he’s the head of
01:17
litigation
01:18
so i told him and i tell anyone who
01:21
asked me
01:22
ask about the experience of the trial
01:24
lawyer you’re hiring
01:25
if they haven’t teeded up and gone to
01:27
trial if they haven’t
01:28
won a bunch and lost some then they’re
01:31
not trying lawsuits so that’s the key
01:33
thing the key is what experience does
01:36
the trial lawyer have
01:37
and what kind of results has that lawyer
01:39
gotten i think the main
01:41
ingredient is experience real experience
01:44
selecting a jury teeing it up and going
01:47
to a verdict
