The Human Side of Trial Lawyering | Joe Fried (Personal Injury Lawyer)

"At the end of the day, what's behind dunking a basketball and what's behind being a badass cha-cha dancer is the same feeling. It's human, it's innate, and it's very real and powerful. And that's where decisions are made, like we talked about earlier. The biggest fallacy in what we do is the idea that people make decisions based on logic. They don't. And even the idea that they do is not true."Joe Fried joined us on RVA Trial Lawyers.
