Welcome to episode 61 of The Earley Show, hosted by personal injury attorney Christopher Earley! For this conversation, Chris is joined by Angel Reyes III, founder and president of Angel Reyes & Associates in Dallas.Angel has been a lawyer for 35 years and has spent 33 of them building a roughly 650-person firm with 46 lawyers and more than 550 jury verdicts in Texas. He got there doing the opposite of what most firms do: narrowing to one case type, shutting off every TV ad, billboard and bus wrap he had spent two decades buying, and refusing to spend a dollar he can't measure. He and Chris walk the whole arc — the 1994 policy-limits fee he put into Univision instead of a new car, the meeting where he told a dozen lawyers the firm would never touch another mass tort, the 2019 decision to go fully digital that produced a 5x increase in case count, and the machinery holding it together: Litify, nearshore teams, always-on Zoom rooms, the Wonderlic, and a training academy that never stops running.00:00 Intro00:52 35 years a lawyer, 33 in business03:13 Michigan Law, Wall Street, and the move to Dallas09:13 The firm today: ~650 people, 425 nearshore10:32 The 1994 case and the $50,000 Univision bet11:45 Cutting everything that wasn't car wrecks16:26 The only three jobs of a CEO24:10 "We are never doing another mass tort"26:52 Hiring the person, not the resume28:04 Why every hire takes the Wonderlic30:29 Killing broadcast media for Google33:01 The hockey stick: 5x the case count33:37 "If you can't measure it, don't spend it"35:04 Leaving Needles for Litify and Salesforce42:51 ActivTrak, RTO and the nearshore decision46:03 "An overpaid watcher of watchers"48:10 How to reach AngelAbout our guestAngel L. Reyes III is the founder and president of Angel Reyes & Associates in Dallas, Texas.
