David CraigWhen venture capital flooded the personal injury market and national firms started spending half a billion dollars a year on advertising, most small firm owners decided they couldn't compete. David Craig decided to do something different. As managing partner of Craig, Kelley & Faultless, a 10-attorney firm with offices across Indiana and Missouri, David has spent 40 years doing exactly one thing: truck accident and commercial vehicle cases. He's one of fewer than 100 attorneys in the country board certified in truck accident law, he's written two books including It's Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney, and he hosts After the Crash, a consumer-facing podcast ranked in the top five nationally among personal injury shows. In this conversation, Rob and David break down why the legal advertising market is unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago, what the average consumer still doesn't know when hiring an attorney, and how a firm committed to depth over volume keeps winning cases, and clients, against gorillas with unlimited budgets. If you're a law firm owner trying to figure out how to compete without outspending the market, this episode is your blueprint.
