    The Trial-First Philosophy: How Jason Green Leverages a Prosecutor's Edge to Fight Big Insurance

    Welcome back to Latte with a Lawyer, a premier law firm podcast highlighting the sharpest minds and strategies in modern litigation. In this episode, managing personal injury attorney Jason Green of Atlanta’s Bader Law shares how he applies a high-stakes courtroom mindset to take on powerful corporate entities. From his daily routine fueled entirely by lattes to his transition from a metro Atlanta prosecutor, Jason breaks down what it truly takes to stand up for individuals against massive opposition. He also delivers a masterclass in courtroom narrative strategy, pulling back the curtain on a dramatic case involving a rising professional boxer who was struck by an unmarked police vehicle. After the defense attempted to exploit character stereotypes to dodge accountability, Jason details how he fought back against an insultingly low $60,000 pre-trial offer to secure a massive, life-changing seven-figure jury verdict. Additionally, Jason shares his candid take on recent Georgia tort reform, why a "trial-first" firm culture is a non-negotiable shield for clients, and how his team safely evaluates artificial intelligence tools without falling victim to legal hallucinations.

    Internist and hospitalist Dr. Jordan Romano of Boston shares an inside look at the specialized world of medical expert witnessing, personal injury, and malpractice litigation. From the serendipitous start of his 12-year consulting career to building a platform that connects physicians with attorneys, Jordan explains how a deep dive into medical records not only serves the legal system but makes for stronger clinical providers. He also reflects on the nuances of the courtroom—discussing the impact of the Daubert Challenge, the "Ipsy Dixit" legal trap, and why he refuses to work for individuals not represented by counsel. Jordan discusses how AI tools like Open Evidence are transforming medical decision-making, the strategic "Moneyball" layers of expert selection, and why clinicians should "dip their toes" into the legal space to expand their professional impact.
