    From Phone Call to Verdict! Drop In EP 7 Feat. Peter Dreyer

    A $49 million medical malpractice verdict, and the story behind it. Jennifer Anderson went to her gynecologist every year. Every year she tested positive for HPV-16, and every year she was told her results were normal. By the time anyone looked closely, she was diagnosed with stage 4B cervical cancer. In April, a Stamford jury agreed, in one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in Connecticut history, including $10 million to her husband, Dan, for loss of consortium. Peter Dreyer of Silver Golub & Teitell tried the case. In the Drop In Season 1 finale, he tells Sara how it began with a call from a high school friend, why the first expert to read the records called him in tears, and how Parambil cut a 5,000-page cancer treatment record down to answers in seconds so he could spend his time getting to know the Andersons instead. He also describes the moment the judge reached for a calculator, explains why damages caps undervalue mothers and homemakers, and closes with a case for why trial lawyers can’t afford to ignore AI.

    2 MILLION DOLLAR VERDICT? Drop In EP 6 Feat. The Kelly Firm

    Lauren Kelly Gielarowski, Erica Kelly Curren, and Gianna Kelly are partners at the Kelly Firm, LLC, a women-owned personal injury and medical malpractice practice in Pittsburgh that the three sisters launched together. They’re second-generation trial lawyers, following their father. They recorded this conversation just after winning a medical malpractice trial together, their second trial in five months. In this episode, the sisters talk with Sara about what it takes to build a practice from scratch and try cases as a team: how they divide the work by each other’s strengths, why they kept a photo of their client at the counsel table all week, and what it takes to turn down a last-minute settlement offer and go to trial. They also cover what Erica learned from starting her career on the defense side, how they think about choosing and preparing experts, their “if you can’t take the case, at least make a friend” approach to clients, and how they plan to grow without losing their culture.  Drop In is hosted by Sara Cordrey, CEO of Parambil, the AI platform built for complex litigation.

    IS AI THE FUTURE OF FINANCE? Drop In EP 5 feat. Patrick Dwyer

    Patrick Dwyer is a co-founder at Aligned Wealth, advising families and founders. He started his career cold calling law firms in downtown Miami at 25, and he’s also Sara’s dad. In this conversation, Patrick and Sara talk about how professional services is changing as AI and technology reshape how expertise is delivered. They cover how he built his first client base, how clients now have access to much of the information advisors once held, why the advisor’s role is shifting toward counsel and helping clients manage their own behavior, how fees and the advisor-client relationship are evolving, and what financial services and the legal industry can learn from each other. He closes with why he’s optimistic about the next 20 years. Drop In is hosted by Sara Cordrey, CEO of Parambil, the AI platform built for complex litigation.

    Drop In Episode 4 with Chris Placitella

    Chris Placitella has spent four decades on the plaintiff side of the bar. He is known for helping start the modern talc litigation and for his work in asbestos, tobacco, and fen-phen, including some of the largest verdicts in history. Outside the courtroom, he co-founded Holidays for the Homeless and Semper Fi Santa, and he was part of the largest pro bono legal effort in U.S. history after 9/11. In this conversation, Chris and Sara talk about why the real loss in a catastrophic injury is often a person’s hope, how to turn a case down in a way people remember, and why showing up in person still matters in a world of email and Zoom. They also cover how technology can help firms process thousands of claims in a short window without losing sight of the people behind them.

    IS AI CHANGING LAW? Drop In EP 3 feat. Ben Gideon

    Ben Gideon is a founding partner of Gideon Asen, one of New England's most prominent medical malpractice and catastrophic injury firms. After more than 20 years as a plaintiff trial lawyer, including 17 years at Berman & Simmons, he started the firm in 2020 around a small number of extraordinarily complex cases. Recent results include a $25 million verdict for the family of a 15-year-old girl and a $41 million recovery in a catastrophic trucking case. In this conversation, Ben and Sara talk about how a firm can use data, technology, and AI without losing the human judgment that wins trials. They cover how much of a firm's expertise can be captured in AI systems, how he approaches growth across northern New England, what it takes to build a firm around the cases other lawyers turn down, and how he explains a complicated medical case to a jury in terms anyone can relate to.

    Drop In Episode 2 with Tobi Milrood

    Tobi Millrood has spent more than 25 years in pharmaceutical, medical device, and complex injury litigation. He was the first lawyer in the country to file a hormone therapy lawsuit and helped lead that litigation for a decade. He later served as president of the American Association for Justice, and today chairs the Mass Tort Department at Kline & Specter.  In this conversation, Tobi and Sara get into how mass tort cases actually work — why proving causation requires both the broad science linking a product to a type of harm and the specific proof that it harmed this person — what it takes to prepare a trial team for a case that can take months to get ready for, how jury psychology shapes which narratives land and which don't, and where he sees the system heading next, including how AI tools are starting to help consumers evaluate whether a law firm is actually equipped to take their case to trial. This is the second episode of Drop In, a podcast from Parambil, the AI platform built for complex litigation.

    Drop In Episode 1 with Jay Edelson

    Jay Edelson is a founding partner of Edelson PC, a plaintiff's firm that has recovered more than $5 billion as lead counsel since he started it in 2007. In this conversation, Jay and Sara talk about what it actually takes to grow a law firm from a handful of people into an organization of 150 without losing the culture that made it work in the first place. Jay shares how he builds teams around what each attorney is genuinely good at rather than expecting everyone to be a generalist, how AI is already reshaping the way law firms operate — from hiring and case strategy to how judges themselves are starting to use it — and the advice he gives to young lawyers who are anxious about where they fit in a profession being transformed by technology.
