Gray Broughton and Sharif Gray are the founding partners of Gray Broughton Injury Law in Richmond, Virginia.

Both are Army JAG veterans. Both became personal injury lawyers later than most.

And in a few short years, they’ve put up results that most trial firms don’t see in a decade.

Their philosophy is simple: the secret’s in the execution.

In this episode we covered:

→ What happened when they stopped using medical bills at trial

→ How two partners with almost no friction built a firm from 7 to 15 people in months

→ What the military taught them about betting on themselves

→ Why they prosecute corporate conduct the same way they once prosecuted crimes

→ What data point they can’t manage the firm without

Gray and Sharif are the kind of attorneys who’ll tell you that the legal system can work the way it’s supposed to… because they SHOW UP and PROVE IT case after case.

Thank you both for your time, your honesty, and your willingness to share everything you’ve learned!
