Congratulations to Colson Hicks Eidson partner, Julie Kane, who was featured as the October Luminary for the Society of Women Trial Lawyers. Julie's interview discusses her journey to success as a trial lawyer and her passionate pursuit of justice for her clients. “I believe you just have to do what’s right. My Grandma Annie always said, ‘What's right is right,’ which stuck with me. Trust comes from being completely honest with your clients. I’ve been fortunate to choose the clients I work with, and I’ve consistently chosen people I trust and who trust me. There’s no formula—it’s about doing the right thing every time. No case is worth compromising my integrity, and that’s how I’ve built trust,” Julie explains in her interview.
