If you follow the Fray, you know we were up in beautiful Wyoming this past October. While you saw some photographs and footage of Yellowstone National Park, you didn’t see the reason we were up there in the first place, until now.
The Spence Law Firm is an internationally recognized team of lawyers that specialize in fighting for the individual. We were commissioned to tell the story of the firm, it’s partners, and the philosophy that is uniformly embraced and practiced within their walls. That edit is coming soon, so hang tight. . . .
You see, our trip was a two-fold mission. In addition to sharing the story of the firm, the partners asked us to also focus on the man who started it all. . . . Gerry Spence. Perhaps one of the most recognizable faces among his peers and anyone familiar with trial law, Gerry has spent the better half of a century fighting for others and sharing his unique view of the world with trial lawyers everywhere. . . . and seeing that he has NEVER lost a criminal case and has an undefeated civil case record from 1969 to 2010, trial lawyers are “all ears” when he speaks about his philosophy and approach to trial litigation.
While we have shared so many stories and spoken and listened to so many people, this one is different. This one is special. There is something about Gerry Spence that draws you in when he speaks. His outlook on society is certainly unique and the method in which he approaches the jury forced us to sit back and think about how we approach our clients and couples alike. Perhaps it also sparks a question about how we treat one another in general. It was only 2 hours on a chilly October day in the back country of Wyoming at Gerry’s home, but for us it was certainly a memorable experience. It was an honor to sit and listen to his perspective. It is an even greater honor to share his story with you.
