Mike Rafi from the Rafi Law Firm joins us for this week’s episode of Sports ‘N Torts. Mike is a lawyer in Atlanta whose practice focuses heavily on representing injured crime victims in severe injury or death cases. Mike describes himself as the lawyer of last resort who gets involved in Code Red type cases.

Mike has a unique background by way of working in the news industry prior to attending Law School.

Mike also explains how those jobs helped prepare him for being a lawyer and presenting ‘stories’ to juries.

Mike began his career working in Big Law and the lessons he learned from that job helped him launch his own firm – which he takes pride in running his firm the way he wants and what fits for his lifestyle. Mike has had some incredible results and verdicts and he shares his approach to litigation, discovery and trial. Of course we talk about his marketing approaches and how to be your best at events such as happy hours and cocktail parties.

Outside of the office, Mike has been dubbed an “Internet Personality” by Google for his social media presence. Mike explains his approach to social media and the daily videos he posts and how he acquired so many followers. Finally, Mike explains how one of his posts found its way front and center of a recent jury trial.

On top of everything else, Mike is a Bitcoin Miner. I don’t really know what that means but Mike explains bitcoin, how he got into it and what he uses it for.
