PART II: John S. Berry on his ‘Atticus Finch moment’; PTSD; leading during dark times & making an argument that wins

What do you look at as, in your legal, when you were heavily involved in casework and in front of judges, what's your proudest moment, highlight that you kinda look back on, reflect on when you were really involved in casework?
J
14:15John S. BerryGUEST
Obviously doing criminal defense and there's a not guilty verdict i- I think is the pinnacle.
J
14:20John S. BerryGUEST
And the reason for that is that, you know, civil cases are about money, right? At the end of the day, it's money.
J
14:25John S. BerryGUEST
But when you start talking about someone's freedom, you can't put a price on that.
J
14:28John S. BerryGUEST
And there's an old saying, if you have a problem and you have enough money, then you don't have a problem.
J
14:33John S. BerryGUEST
But if you are charged with a criminal offense, it's a felony offense, and maybe it's a, has a mandatory minimum, and you can go to prison, and you c- then of course you're gonna lose everything.

John, open floor.
John S. Berry on adapting in court; leading in war; Agent Orange; what Veterans need & great legal writing
S
12:27speaker_1HOST
That's that
J
12:30John S. BerryGUEST
And one thing that we've done, I think, as a organizations, we've decided we're gonna be the injured veterans law firm.
J
12:35John S. BerryGUEST
We only wanna represent veterans and their family members, and those who support our veterans.
J
12:39John S. BerryGUEST
The Patriots, and like I said, that word has been thrown around, but the Patriots who maybe they didn't serve, but their uncle did.
J
12:44John S. BerryGUEST
And the reason why we started doing that was because back in the days when we would do criminal defense and real estate and all these other things, we'd ask, "Why did you hire us?" And they'd say, "Because you're a veteran." So the next question would be, "Are you a veteran?" "No." "Is your spouse a veteran?" "No." "Were your parents?" "No.
J
12:56John S. BerryGUEST
But I had this uncle, and I respected him, and I'm really scared about what's gonna happen in my future, and I just feel like I could trust my uncle.
S
14:31speaker_1HOST
Yeah.
