Ep. 65 – Hiring the Wrong Lawyer After a Truck Crash: What’s at Stake || After the Crash Podcast

🚨 Do you know how easy it is to hire the wrong lawyer after a semi-truck accident? Most people don’t—and the consequences can be devastating.

In this episode of After the Crash, Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with Harlan Schillinger, widely known as the “Grandfather of Legal Marketing,” to discuss the double-edged sword of legal advertising. Together, they unpack how modern marketing has made it easier than ever to choose the wrong attorney, especially after a catastrophic truck crash.

David Craig is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), which is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA).

✔️ Why so many people unknowingly hire the wrong lawyer

✔️ What to look for in a board-certified truck accident attorney

✔️ The difference between flashy marketing and real experience

✔️ Why having a full legal team (not just one lawyer) matters

✔️ How truck companies start protecting themselves before your loved one is even out of the wreckage

David also dives into the inspiration behind his latest book, “It’s Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney”, and the personal frustration that led him to write it.

📌 Key takeaway: It’s not just about getting legal help—it’s about getting the right legal help. And if you wait too long, critical evidence could be lost forever.
