Honestly, it's really cool that you're showing us this. This type of transparency is why we all really appreciate you Mike!

As a 26 year old living in Georgia contemplating law school, this was a much watch . Thank you 😊

"don't come after me.  I will destroy you!" supposedly talking to his kids.  :-)

as someone considering going into law as a profession, this kinda thing is really insightful! getting an idea of what the day to day looks like, what trials look like and such is a really good way to see the profession without the dramatisation of media, and come to understand whether its something id really wanna do. thanks for your effort, keep up the inspiration!

I'm appalled at how few views this is getting. This easily feels like one that should be well into 100k. Really good stuff man

Not boring at all - especially since I kind of went through some of the process last year after being injured in a car accident while on vacation in Louisiana (I live in Wa. State). The lawyer that I contacted was super good about explaining all of what was going to transpire and why, but hearing this and your other podcasts have filled it out even more so. I think information is a good thing to have, and these should be basic learning experiences for ANYONE wishing to contact a legal firm for these types of issues.

The only thing I got out of this is that you definitely got a southern bell/Georgia peach.  Love the content, brother keep it up.

Thank you for showing this! Super insightful. Didn't know you worked on so many cases. Now I get why Public Defenders are so overworked.

2:00 there’s plenty of Czechs in Europe 😂.

10:39 A similar thing happened to Will Wheaton, after Star Trek: The Next Generation ended he was struggling to provide for his family because it turned out his parents were intercepting the royalty payments and taking the vast majority of it for themselves. This went on for years as he just assumed the royalty payments weren’t very big, and when he found out what was happening he had to sue his parents.

Awesome video. I was tickled pink when he mentioned the economist he was working with on damages, because it's something most people don't know about. My first job after receiving my economics degree was in damage analysis. I was recruited by Arthur Andersen to work in their litigation support practice in Los Angeles to build these damage models. Over the years, I've had to explain what I did for a living so it was cool being on the receiving end of the explanation.

Love this type of content

As a kid going into year 12, trying to figure out career paths, this was really helpful. Thankyou!

21:00 Wait. TV news reporter?? What!?

Did you work up to 15 cases a day? Or did you sort of start there? How do you avoid feeling mental exhaustion at that point? Do you have a mental list for a typical case flow and you just check it off (or on paper)? Or are they so different that isn't really useful?  How did you learn to effectively task switch between cases? Talk about this on your podcast!

I think this is super interesting, particularly for people considering becoming lawyers or having their own practice. When I was a designer, I spoke to students  at the local community college, and they were shocked how many clients I had at a time. It was eye opening for them.

Mr Rafi, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am 64, retiring as a truck driver, almost done with my undergraduate degree, studying for the LSAT, considering JD Next prep course, and planning on law school. I’ve got a lot of good years left and have always wanted a law degree and Bar credentials. It will be good to get off the road and into an office.

Loved this breakdown! I'm finishing my undergrad before law school and time management/not having enough time for kids is a huge concern of mine in my career. It was nice to see the overall breakdown and see how much happens in a day for you! We always talk about how busy lawyers are but no one actually shows that. So thanks!

As a PI attorney, this hits home but I understand how this might not make sense to others. Prior to law school or any internship, my number one question always was, what does a day look like for a lawyer? Keep up the great work.

No breakfast in the morning?
