The Rewards of Personal Injury Law | Maureen Farrell (Plaintiff Personal Injury Lawyer)
04/04/25 • 43 min
"I think it's wonderful work. I'm grateful every day that I get to do, for money, something that I find incredibly interesting. I think personal injury is the best kept secret—the brightest young attorneys should want to do this kind of work."
Maureen Farrell joined us this week on RVA Trial Lawyers. We discuss her work as a personal injury trial lawyer, her willingness to take on challenging disputed liability cases, and how she loves helping her clients through incredibly difficult and stressful times in their lives.
Maureen has more than 15 years of experience in civil litigation, including business disputes, fraud and fiduciary duty cases, and complex personal injury claims. She has tried cases to jury verdict, including the largest fiduciary duty jury verdict in Texas in 2023.
It was a privilege having Maureen join us.
RVA Trial Lawyers: Virginia's Trial Lawyer Podcast
Trial lawyers do not become great overnight. It takes persistence, a relentless work ethic, a willingness to learn from mistakes, a burning passion for the craft, an authentic self, and the courage and vulnerability to enter the arena time and again.
Those who become great trial lawyers also become great people. Through their work, they grapple with the realities of the human condition and in the process cultivate character, principle, integrity, leadership, strength, compassion, and perseverance.
Based out of Richmond, RVA Trial Lawyers exists for Virginia’s trial lawyers. Through our podcast, we hope to learn from them, support them, connect them, inspire them, and preserve their work for future trial lawyers.

Choosing a Winning Jury | Harry Plotkin (Trial Consultant)
"All the best verdicts that I've had, in the opening statement, the jurors' eyes are bugging out and their jaws are hitting the floor. And they tell you afterwards, 'I didn't realize this case was so strong, and I'm sorry that I questioned it in voir dire. But then I heard your case in opening.' So that's where you want them. You don't want to oversell it before you actually panel the jury."
Harry Plotkin joined us on RVA Trial Lawyers. We discuss his work as a trial consultant, how to approach jury selection, and how to identify potential jurors who will give you the best chance of winning your case.
Harry is a nationally-renowned jury consultant and leading voice in the field of jury decision-making, psychology, and persuasion. He has helped shape the outcome of over one thousand trials across the country in nearly every state.
It was a privilege having Harry join us.

"Your Client is Exhibit A, and There is No Exhibit B" | Rand Robins (Plaintiff Personal Injury Lawyer)
"The toughness and resilience of clients of mine, to see those people pick themselves up off the mat and carry on with life as best they can, is inspiring."
Rand Robins joined us on RVA Trial Lawyers. Rand initially studied journalism but found the investigative skills lent themselves well to gathering evidence. He steadily compiled a notebook of contacts and networks, through phone calls, lunch meetings and quick chats over coffee, that led him to the medical malpractice field, where he has gained extensive jury trial experience.
In today's episode, we reference a well-known video from the Cleveland Clinic called "Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care." We highly encourage you to check it out.
Born and raised in Richmond, Rand graduated from the University of North Carolina and earned his law degree from the Washington College of Law at American University. He is dedicated to mentoring middle and high school kids from tough backgrounds and is a board member of UP RVA, an organization that provides support to motivated young people seeking to better themselves through hard work and discipline.
It was a privilege having Rand join us.
