Your Reputation for the Truth is Very Important

My two oldest nephews are now Eagle Scouts! That makes a total of seven Eagle Scouts in our family, my father, my uncle, my older brother, me, my younger brother, and now the latest two Eagles. If you think we take pride on being truthful, you are right! We are proud of our family heritage and the principles that we live by each day.

So, your reputation for the truth is very important. A few weeks ago, a defense lawyer was trying to say my client was a liar. That’s his default position about people who file lawsuits. Of course, that’s not true. If I find someone who is a liar, I don’t take their case. If I learn about them lying during a case, I fire them as a client! Juries have to make a quick study of a person’s character and whether they are telling the truth. Your reputation for the truth is important. Even if it’s not directly spoken about in a trial, it is always an underlying issue that a jury has to decide. No one will give someone something if they conclude a person is a cheater. In a lawsuit, you are asking a jury to fairly compensate you for the loss that you sustained. How the accident happened, what caused it, the amount of your medical bills, how well your recovered, and your pain and suffering are just a few of the things a jury will consider. Your reputation counts, whether people openly talk about it or do not. The person who is honest and always goes the extra mile is the person who not only succeeds in life but in trials, both daily and at the courthouse.
