Some attorneys practice law. Others are built for it. In this debut episode of Savannah Car & Truck Accident Law w. Andy Conn, founding attorney Andy Conn introduces himself to the world — his background, his purpose, and the competitive drive that has made him one of Georgia's most respected trial lawyers for catastrophic injury cases. Andy Conn didn't stumble into personal injury law. He grew up in a sports family rooted in his father's career as a professional football player — a man who won a Super Bowl playing for the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. That world taught Andy something early: you compete hard, you prepare obsessively, and you never back down when the stakes are high. He carried that mentality from the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business straight through to the UGA School of Law, and then into a decade at one of the Southeast's most high-stakes trial firms before founding Conn Law Firm in Savannah. In "The YOU Interview," Andy opens up about what drew him to catastrophic injury cases, why Conn Law deliberately limits the number of cases it takes, and what he believes separates firms that truly fight for clients from those that simply process them. He shares his philosophy on negotiation versus litigation, the role technology and innovation play in building modern cases, and the community work — including his advocacy for children in foster care through Brightside Child and Family Advocacy — that keeps him grounded outside the courtroom. This episode is the foundation for everything that follows: an honest look at the attorney listeners will be hearing from every episode.
