Courtroom Experienc

The first auto accident injury case that I tried in front of a jury was in 1985, two years after I opened my law practice.  Prior to the beginning of jury selection, the insurance defense attorney and I sat down in the judge’s office to discuss the case.  When the judge asked us if there was any way we could settle the case, the defense attorney explained that we had attempted to negotiate a settlement, but we were still $3,000 apart.
