When I first started practicing when I first got out of law school and passed the bar I started working for a large advertising personal injury firm. And one of the problem with working there and they were great to me and I loved the people that I worked with unfortunately, the model that they had did not allow for the trying of cases. So we settled cases but we never really took them to trial. I knew early on that I wanted to be a trial lawyer so after about four years I left there and started my own firm. In the past 20 years or so, I’ve tried over 100 cases to juries everywhere from as north as Dalton and Woodfield County down south to Dougherty County in Albany, Georgia.

And I think that the benefit has been that trying cases in small counties as well as large counties I’ve gotten a good feeling for what I think juries will do with certain types of case and how to appeal to those juries to maximize the recovery for my clients. Again, I’ve tried over 100 cases everything from slip and fall cases to car wreck to tractor-trailers to motorcycles, you name it, I think I’ve been in court on it. And again, I think that experience really helps me every time I go into court now to know what a jury’s going to do and how to approach a certain case.

Marietta, GA personal injury attorney Michael R. Braun talks about his experience as a lawyer. He explains that after completing law school and passing the bar exam, I joined a prominent personal injury firm that focused on advertising. While I appreciated the experience and enjoyed working with my colleagues, there was a significant drawback to the firm’s approach: they prioritized settling cases and rarely took them to trial. However, I had always known deep down that I wanted to be a trial lawyer. So, after about four years, I made the decision to leave and establish my own firm.

Over the past two decades, I have had the opportunity to try more than 100 cases before juries in various locations. I’ve appeared in courtrooms across Georgia, from Dalton and Woodfield County in the north to Dougherty County in Albany, in the south. This diverse range of trial experiences has provided me with invaluable insights. It has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of how different juries react to specific types of cases and how best to connect with them in order to achieve optimal results for my clients.

In my extensive trial practice, I have handled a wide array of cases, including slip and fall incidents, car accidents, tractor-trailer collisions, motorcycle accidents, and more. This broad spectrum of litigation experience has honed my ability to anticipate jury behavior and has equipped me with effective strategies for approaching each unique case.

Every time I step into the courtroom now, I bring with me the wealth of knowledge gained from my trial experience. It provides me with a solid foundation to gauge how a jury might respond and guides my approach to effectively presenting a case. This accumulated expertise has become an invaluable asset, empowering me to navigate the complexities of the courtroom and deliver the best possible outcomes for my clients.
