Marine Sergeant Turned Lawyer On ADR & Why Lawyers Need to Adapt or Die | Carson Honeycutt

What makes someone leave the Marines, move to Alaska, and become a lawyer? On this episode of Hot Docket, we sit down with Carson Honeycutt, Founder of Honeycutt Law, to explore how his military discipline and sense of duty shaped his path from the Marine Corps to becoming one of Alaska’s go-to attorneys for workers’ compensation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Carson reveals why he believes most cases shouldn’t go to court, how Alaska’s legal landscape is unlike anywhere else in America, and why empathy, adaptability, and technology are now the defining traits of the next generation of lawyers.
