In this high-powered episode of The Dirty Verdict, the guys welcome legal heavyweight Kyle Farrar, two-time National Trial Lawyer of the Year and appellate ace, for an in-depth look at two of the most talked-about product liability verdicts in the country β€” including a $31 million Miami verdict and a nearly $1 billion seatbelt defect case against Mitsubishi.

From starting a boutique plaintiff's firm with a loan and a tire case they swore they'd never take, to building a national litigation powerhouse, Kyle recounts his journey in candid, hilarious, and jaw-dropping detail. And yes β€” they even dive into lemur litigation.
