A proposito di questo titolo

What happens when a lawyer who knew he wanted to practice law at age five, graduated magna cum laude in three years, clerked for a federal judge, and then built a 180-person personal injury firm spanning seven Midwestern states decides the next chapter looks like running the whole operation from Puerto Rico using AI tools his peers are only just beginning to understand? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Michael McCready, founder of McCready Law, about the first 24 hours after an accident and why talking to the other driver's insurance company before calling a lawyer is one of the most common and costly mistakes injured people make. Michael explains why insurance adjusters are not your friends, what happens when someone waits more than 10 days to see a doctor, and how his firm uses a dedicated case manager system — plus an app, automated texts, and educational videos — so clients always know exactly where their case stands without having to chase down their attorney. He also breaks down how AI is being used right now at his firm to process biomechanical engineering reports, identify flawed assumptions in expert testimony, and draft demand letters in a fraction of the time it used to take. They also discuss how Michael recognized he was the bottleneck holding his own firm back and what changed when he finally let go of control, the four-tier attorney development system he built to keep great lawyers from leaving, why Washington University Law School put him on their AI Board of Advisors, the story of the burned foster child whose settlement money paid for college 13 years later, and why $500 million recovered over 30 years is really a story about doing a good job for a lot of ordinary people — not winning jackpots. Michael McCready is the founder of McCready Law, a personal injury firm with offices across seven Midwestern states and over 180 professionals, operating remotely from Puerto Rico.
