    The Science Behind DUI Defense

    Gary Safir turns the tables and interviews his brother. Rory Safir is a Florida DUI defense lawyer and one of the few forensic lawyer-scientists in the state, and this episode is about the science under a DUI case: breath tests, blood tests, and the roadside exercises, how each one can go wrong, and why the defense has to understand the instrument as well as the officer does. Rory talks about how he came to forensic science, what he learned from the lawyers who built this field, and why he wrote the Florida DUI Trial Manual for other lawyers who take these cases. Gary brings the personal injury side, where reading the medical evidence decides the case the same way.

    Maximizing Value in Everyday Injury Cases

    Most injury cases never make the news, and they still decide what happens to someone’s life. Rory Safir and his brother Gary Safir talk about how those everyday cases get valued, and why the injured person’s credibility usually matters more than anything else in the file. Gary spent years on the insurance defense side before he started representing injured people in Michigan, so he knows what the other side looks for. They cover deposition preparation, the mistakes that shrink a case, the hard parts of premises liability, and how to put a client’s pain into words a jury can feel.
