Greg Barnhart refers to trials as “the ultimate game.”  While certainly a competition between two sides, he insists that juries expect to be entertained.  To be a successful trial lawyer, as you’ll hear, you have to be entertaining and tell a story.  He’s won more than $90 million to date in verdicts and settlements for his clients, including at one point, the largest personal injury verdict in Florida history.

Along the way, he served as president of the Florida Justice Association and he’s won the Al J. Cone lifetime achievement award from the association.  He’s a law school professor and a former chair of the 4th District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission.

Greg Barnhart sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in July 2018 to share his in-depth trial technique, the importance of a having a healthy ego, and the story of the widow who refused to settle that inspired him to the biggest victory of his career.
