Happy to everyone whose face said everything their mouth was trying to hold back. Can you relate? 😂

One of the most consistent things I have seen as a trucking lawyer is how quickly a trucking company moves to control the narrative after a serious crash.

Before the scene is even cleared, there are lawyers, investigators, and risk management teams already working. And the story they are building almost always points away from the company.
Sometimes they blame the person who was hurt. When that does not work, they blame their own driver.

What they do not want you looking at are the policies that created impossible expectations. The routes that left no room for rest. The schedules that could only be met if a driver pushed past what was safe. The maintenance logs that tell a story no one was supposed to find.
The driver’s conduct is one piece. The company’s decisions are the foundation.

That is why, in these cases, you cannot stop at the incident report. The real case lives deeper than that.

Lawyers, what is the one piece of evidence that has changed the direction of a case for you?

What's in my suitcase: Scotland edition. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✈️
I have been in Scotland for a couple of weeks now, and yes, I packed for all of it.

Packing for international travel as a working mom and trial lawyer is its own skill set. These are the things I do not leave home without.

And if you happen to be in Edinburgh at the end of June, the Art of Advocacy International CLE is June 28–30 and I would love to see you there. Link in my bio to learn more.

Comment "Travel" below and I will DM you the full list so you have it ready for your next trip.

I have made plenty of mistakes in my career. But one thing I think I have done well is being willing to say, out loud, I do not know.

That sounds simple. But it is not. We are conditioned to believe confidence means having all the answers. That admitting a gap in your knowledge is a weakness. So we perform certainty we do not have. And in doing so, we close the door on the very thing that would actually make us better.

No one will ever know everything. The most confident professionals I know are not the ones with the most answers. They are the ones who ask the best questions. Who pick up the phone and call someone who knows more... who say “let me look into that” without shame.

Stay curious. Stay hungry. The moment you think you have arrived is the moment you stop growing.
