For about ten years before I became an attorney I played poker for a living, and that’s actually helped in a lot of ways in the practice of law, but one of the most important ways is it helps me understand things from other peoples’ perspectives. You know, it’s not just enough to think you understand a situation, but when you’re negotiating with a defense attorney or when you’re talking to a jury, it’s critical to understand how that other person sees the same things you are seeing.

Torrance, CA personal injury attorney Andrew Pruitt talks about his background. He explains that prior to becoming an attorney, I spent around ten years playing poker professionally, and this experience has been valuable in many aspects of my legal career. Particularly, it has enabled me to comprehend situations from various viewpoints.
