Kevin Shires from the law firm of Shires Peake Gottlieb joins the podcast for the final episode of 2022. Kevin is a defense attorney who specializes in representing trucking companies in personal injury cases. We talk about how Kevin got into the trucking defense business, how he runs his law firm, how he markets himself/his firm and his perspective on working with opposing counsel. Kevin shares some trial stories including one that has a bit of embarrassment to it. When I see Kevin on the other side of a case I know I have a worthy adversary who plays by the rules, in honest in his assessment of cases and is sharp as they come. That is the total package.

Kevin’s passion is traveling and attending international sporting events. He is just home from Qatar and the 2022 World Cupso we hear all about his experiences over there. We talk about the culture, people, food, drink, atmosphere, how to get tickets, visa rules and everything else about the trip. Kevin explains why the World Cup is the greatest sporting event on earth and how much joy he has found in meeting people from all across the globe this year in Qatar and in 2014 in Brazil. He tells us why Argentina won the title and gives the tail of the tape between Messi, Mbappe and Ronaldo. Kevin also travels the world attending Formula 1/Grand Prix events.

Finally, Kevin is a Dawg so we talk UGA-OSU and the chances for a UGA to repeat as national champions.
