The truth is… law school never taught lawyers how to build real client relationships in high-volume practices.

In this episode of That One Lawyer™ Podcast, attorney and law firm leader Brian Mittman joins Neal Goldstein for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to build trust, loyalty, and long-term success as a lawyer.

Brian is the managing partner of Markoff and Mittman, widely known as The Disability Guys, and has spent decades representing injured workers and disabled individuals across New York. But what sets Brian apart is not just the volume of cases he handles. It is how intentionally he builds human connection inside a system that often prioritizes speed over people.
