Build Your Own Trial Toolkit, with Sharif Gray

from Elawvate: The Trial Lawyer Podcast

Every trial training promises the answer. Sharif Gray spent four years attending them all — and discovered the real lesson is that there is no one answer, only the toolkit you build for yourself. A Virginia Military Institute valedictorian and UVA Law graduate, Sharif joined forces with partner Gray Broughton to build a seven-lawyer firm — five former JAG officers, six former prosecutors. He shares how he won a $20 million verdict on a case with no catastrophic physical injury, battled a hostile judge for meaningful voir dire, and weaponized the defense's overreach to his client's advantage. Hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi explore how hunger, mentorship, and the willingness to lose cases separates good lawyers from great ones.Learn More and Connect☑️ Sharif Gray | LinkedIn | Instagram | Podcast ☑️ Gray Broughton Injury Law | LinkedIn | Facebook☑️ Ben Gideon | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Gideon Asen on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Rahul Ravipudi | LinkedIn | Instagram☑️ Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyProduced and Powered by LawPodsSponsored by SmartAdvocate, Hype Legal, Expert Institute, and Steno.
