This week on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro take on a bold challenge: can they convert tequila-loving trial lawyer Pratik Shah into a bourbon believer? Pratik brings the heat with insights on building a future-ready law firm, the evolving role of AI in legal tech, and what it’s like to run EsquireTek. They cover everything from high-level litigation strategy and state-to-state law quirks to—you guessed it—sleepovers at your parents’ house in your 40s. 

Oh, and did we mention Pratik is a founding member of Justice HQ AND a fellow Steelers fan?

This episode blends brains, booze, and a bold look at the future of law. Enjoy!

In this episode of Bourbon of Proof, Open Jar’s Adam Warren pulls up a chair (and a few bottles of homegrown American whiskey) to chat with the guys about transforming lawyers into digital superstars. Covering everything from Adam’s game-changing advertising agency, to his children’s book A Bear with Pants, to the best chicken taco in Austin, TX, this episode is one wild ride. AND, Adam even gifts the guys with some swag that puts Mauro’s now infamous $3 tin of cookies to shame! Pour yourself a glass and press play—this one’s got flavor!

This ori-GIN-al episode of Bourbon of Proof swaps out bourbon for gin—but the spirit of the conversation is as bold as ever. Bob and Mauro trade sips and dive deep into the backstory of Steve Mehr, a true innovator who turned down high-paying job offers at a young age to forge his own path. Steve shares how he’s scaled his firms by obsessing over data, integrations, automations, and AI—leveraging legal-tech products specifically built for lawyers to transform the way legal services are delivered. From rebranding Sweet James to “winning the space” multiple times, Steve opens up about why he still feels like there’s something to prove, even at the top.

Twice named Ventura County Trial Lawyer of the Year (because once just wasn’t enough), Trevor Quirk joins the guys for a conversation that’s equal parts legal insight and community inspiration. Trevor’s racked up some seriously impressive verdicts in court, but what really sets him apart is his big heart and even bigger drive to make the world a better place. The crew tackles the myth of the so-called “nuclear verdict” and how defendants often had every chance to settle for far less. They also reminisce about the time Bob crashed at Trevor’s place during a trial — a week fueled by great whiskey, good strategy, and entirely too much Ben & Jerry’s.
