Tip the Scales 27. Find Your Footing: Growing Confidence and Prioritizing Health | Greyson Goody, The Simon Law Group
Finding your footing in your legal career can take time, but it’s an important process. Over the course of his career, Greyson Goody has grown from a rookie attorney with The Simon Law Group to one of the most respected trial lawyers in California. One of his secrets for success is prioritizing his physical, mental, and emotional health.
Greyson is now a partner at The Simon Law Group and at Goody Law Group. He has won over $40 million in jury verdicts and was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
This week, Greyson talks to us about the qualities that make him a great trial lawyer and how he found his footing in the legal world. He also gave us a view into how he decompresses after a case and why it’s so important for young lawyers to build a habit of relaxation into their routines.
Key takeaways:
Be honest. Being transparent and owning the negative aspects of a case will help you earn trust with a jury and get a better result.
Make relaxation a habit. Working all the time will just leave you burned out and unhealthy. You need to set aside time to decompress and do things you love.
Learn to trust yourself. It’s important to grow your skills and confidence to the point that you would want to have you as your trial lawyer.
