The Haggard Law Firm

Case & Cause hosted by Michael Haggard is a podcast exploring the issues shaping our communities through the perspective of trial lawyers, advocates, and changemakers. Case & Cause goes beyond the courtroom to examine how passionate advocacy can help create a safer, more accountable world. The podcast is designed primarily for trial lawyers, personal injury attorneys, plaintiff lawyers, and legal professionals, while also engaging anyone interested in civil justice, public safety, and meaningful social change. Each episode features conversations with experienced trial attorneys, advocates, nonprofit leaders, and others who are working to make a difference. Discussions may focus on personal injury law, wrongful death litigation, negligent security, gun violence prevention, drowning prevention, product liability, victim advocacy, public safety, legal strategy, and other societal issues. But Case & Cause is about more than legal cases. Michael Haggard and his guests explore the connection between what happens inside the courtroom and what happens outside of it—including advocacy, public policy, community engagement, prevention efforts, and the fight to hold individuals, corporations, and institutions accountable. The central question behind Case & Cause is simple: What can passionate advocates do—inside and outside the courtroom—to make the world safer and better?

    Episode 1 - When Loss Becomes Advocacy: Trial Lawyers, Gun Violence & the Pursuit of Accountability

    What happens when the work of a trial lawyer extends beyond the courtroom? In the debut episode of Case & Cause hosted by Michael Haggard, Michael is joined by fellow Haggard Law Firm trial attorney Todd Michaels and Happy Perry, whose son, D’Sean Perry, was killed in the 2022 University of Virginia mass shooting. Happy shares her deeply personal journey from losing her son to becoming an advocate for gun violence prevention and safer communities. Michael and Todd discuss the unique role trial lawyers can play in supporting advocates, pursuing accountability through civil litigation, and holding responsible parties accountable when gun violence occurs. The conversation explores an important question for plaintiff attorneys and trial lawyers: How can the civil justice system do more than resolve a case—and help create meaningful change beyond the courtroom? For attorneys committed to trial advocacy, personal injury law, civil justice, public safety, and social change, this episode examines the intersection of litigation and advocacy—and the responsibility lawyers have to help make communities safer.
