Join USLAW Live co-hosts Jessica Dark of Pierce Couch in Oklahoma and Pam Hallford of Carr Allison in Alabama as they enjoy a casual conversation with Adam Grafton of Bovis Kyle in Georgia. Adam was born in Illinois, raised in Tampa and lives in Atlanta, so his sports fandom is all over the map but in this podcast episode, Adam is firmly planted in the legal scene of Georgia and shares updates on Georgia tort reform, the changing landscape for defense friendly jurisdictions and why USLAW NETWORK is so beneficial to him and his clients. Plus, the trio hits upon Florida State and University of Oklahoma football, Atlanta Braves baseball, and the fine balance of juggling a vigorous litigation practice and super active family life. Tune into this conversation on USLAW Live.
