I really love helping people and being
0:09
compassionate when I do it and I feel
0:12
like we are helping people fight
0:16
corporate Giants who
0:19
are exclusively determined to increase
0:22
their profits by denying claims and
0:24
denying them Justice and so I’m
0:27
passionate about making people feel
0:29
better but also fighting for the little
0:32
guy because
0:33
truly there is not much of a little guy
0:38
than the person who believes the
0:40
insurance company is going to do the
0:41
right thing and then learns that all of
0:44
their training and manuals and
0:47
procedures and Protocols are designed
0:49
specifically to disprove what their
0:54
experiences so that they can experience
0:57
greater
0:58
profit
1:03
I think to be successful in the
1:05
courtroom you have to know your client
1:08
believe in your
1:09
client understand their story be willing
1:12
to stand in front of a a jury whether
1:16
it’s six people or 12 people and tell
1:18
that story also to take the time to be
1:21
prepared because the story is important
1:24
but so is every piece of paper the judge
1:27
is going to see and all of the motion
1:30
and all of the research and it’s a
1:32
two-pronged approach and one of the
1:34
things I love about the team I work with
1:36
is some people are really good at
1:39
getting in the weeds and some people are
1:41
really good at the big picture and we we
1:43
try to marry those two Skillets so that
1:47
all bases are covered when we walk into
1:49
a courtroom
Kansas City, MO personal injury attorney Rachel Smith talks about the philosophy that guides her work and what it takes to be successful in the courtroom.
