On the 8th Day...
On the 8th day God said “I need a trial lawyer.” Someone to get up everyday before dawn review medical records and depositions, meet with experts, work all day in front of a jury under stress and under the thumb of a judge. Along with all of that he still must find the time to rest, eat and take care of himself.
He must have a sharp mind to fight insurance companies and overpower government interests, yet calm enough to ease his clients’ minds in the heat of trial.
Waiting for a Verdict
A good trial lawyer must be able to wait for a jury verdict in the courthouse halls where nothing grows, all day on pins and needles in the most difficult cases.
Then the trial lawyer watches as the jury files in and renders its verdict, while he dries his eyes and prays that justice will be done.
Doing It All Over Again
After a 3-day jury trial, a trial lawyer must start over and log another 72 hours that week preparing for the next client.
