Saar has been both a friend and mentor to me over the years, making this conversation especially meaningful. It’s an honest look at the lessons, perspectives, and experiences that shape us as attorneys and entrepreneurs.

Running a successful personal injury practice takes more than knowing how to handle a case. It takes business instincts, strong relationships, and the ability to adapt along the way.
