How do trial lawyers build credibility with clients, judges, and juries? In this episode of the AGM Attorney Podcast, host Josh Konigsberg sits down with Jon David Huffman, Esq., Managing Partner of Poole Huffman in Tucker, Georgia, to discuss building credibility and trust, preparing a case for trial, and growing a law firm through leadership.
