In this high-powered episode of The Dirty Verdict, the guys welcome legal heavyweight Kyle Farrar, two-time National Trial Lawyer of the Year and appellate ace, for an in-depth look at two of the most talked-about product liability verdicts in the country — including a $31 million Miami verdict and a nearly $1 billion seatbelt defect case against Mitsubishi.
From starting a boutique plaintiff’s firm with a loan and a tire case they swore they’d never take, to building a national litigation powerhouse, Kyle recounts his journey in candid, hilarious, and jaw-dropping detail. And yes — they even dive into lemur litigation.

- 🧑⚖️ Trial Tactics & Jury Strategy: From unique jury selection in Florida to prepping witnesses with master consultants.
- 🔧 Auto Products & Tire Litigation: How Kyle’s firm came to dominate the nation’s tire defect docket — by accident.
- 🧠 Mentorship & Firm Building: Starting a firm on fumes, hiring their first lawyer the day Kyle’s son was born, and growing into a national presence.
- 🐒 The Lemur Case: A surprise detour into Texas’s most unforgettable monkey-mauling mailman lawsuit.
