  Ep 284 | Jason DeSouza | Building a Personal Injury Law Firm & Fighting for the Underserved

  Sep 17, 20261h 2mS1

  When your client is going through the worst moment of their life, being their lawyer sometimes means doing more than practicing law. On Episode 284 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast with Benny Gold , we sit down with Jason DeSouza, Founder and Lead Trial Attorney at DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas , to talk about his journey from Toronto to Texas, discovering his calling in the courtroom, and building a personal injury firm from the ground up. Jason started his firm in 2015 with just himself and a paralegal. Today, he leads a team of roughly 30 representing people in serious injury, trucking, oilfield, and catastrophic injury cases throughout Texas. But Jason's story is really about people . His blue-collar upbringing shaped the way he represents clients and his commitment to communities that larger firms can sometimes overlook. At one point, that commitment even meant lending his own car to a client who needed help. We talk about scaling a law firm without losing the personal connection, becoming a better trial lawyer, standing up to corporations and insurance companies, leadership, and why Jason believes a person's life can never simply be reduced to a number on a spreadsheet. ️ Episode 284 is available now!

  Ep 283 | Jennifer Chapkin | The Lawyer Who Saw a Gap in Estate Planning & Built Safe and Signed™

  Sep 10, 202655 minS1

  She saw a problem in estate planning. So she built the solution. On the latest episode of The Lawyer Stories Podcast , Benny Gold sits down with Jennifer Chapkin, Esq., estate planning attorney and Co-Founder & CEO of Safe and Signed™ , to talk about her Lawyer Story, entrepreneurship, and turning a problem she repeatedly encountered in her legal practice into a business. Jennifer loves being part of people's big moments - helping families and business owners make consequential decisions about their lives, property, businesses, and futures. But after years of practicing estate planning law, she kept seeing the same issue: after wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives and other important legal documents were signed, where would the originals actually go — and would the right people be able to find them years later when they were needed? That problem inspired Safe and Signed™ , a professional custody service for signed original estate planning and other important legal documents. Originals are protected in an access-controlled, fire-safe, water-safe and climate-controlled facility, while authorized parties can securely access document information and scanned copies. Jennifer shares the moment the idea took hold, what it was like building a company in a category that didn't really exist, balancing entrepreneurship with practicing law, and what she has learned about taking an idea beyond the traditional law firm model. ️ Listen and subscribe to The Lawyer Stories Podcast on your favorite podcast platform.

  Sep 2, 202655 minS1

  AI is changing litigation - but is the defense bar keeping pace? On Episode 282 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast , Benny Gold sits down with Rob Martorana, Head of Partnerships at Theo Ai , for a fascinating conversation about artificial intelligence, litigation intelligence, case strategy, and the future of legal technology. Rob brings a unique perspective to the conversation. His career has taken him from serving as an Assistant District Attorney and practicing law to years in litigation finance and now the rapidly evolving world of legal AI. We discuss the technology and investment gap between the plaintiff and defense bars, why defense litigation has historically been difficult to standardize, and how AI can help legal teams better understand massive amounts of litigation data.
