Beating goliath: a plaintiff's pursuit of justice

Beating Goliath Podcast Cover

The lawyers of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. have made protecting the rights of people unjustly injured the focus of their practice since 1982. Now, they’re sharing a behind-the-scenes look at some of their biggest trials in history on Beating Goliath: A Plaintiff’s Pursuit of Justice.

Join Patrick Salvi II, Managing Partner of the firm’s Chicago office, and host Marcie Mangan as they take a deep dive into how Salvi Law attorneys won these incredible, at times record-breaking, verdicts and found justice for their strong and persevering Chicagoland clients. Through interviews with victims and key witnesses, archived media coverage, and recounts from Patrick himself, they’ll bring these life-changing cases to life through audio.

Season one trials will include an Iraq War veteran’s fateful encounter with a forklift, a young dancer paralyzed at the nation’s third-largest airport, and a 13-year-old who lost his life after being struck by an ambulance. 

Tune in to hear how the Salvi team pursued justice and, ultimately, defeated Goliath.
