Episode 46: Andrew Finkelstein

In the latest episode of Harry Handles It, Harry Nalbandyan sits down with powerhouse trial attorney, NYSTLA President, and New York Times bestselling author Andrew Finkelstein. With over 35 years of experience handling major personal injury cases, Andrew breaks down the exact strategies needed to win in high-stakes litigation, scale a modern firm, and protect individual rights against corporate giants.

Andrew shares the revolutionary approach to jury selection that focuses on deselection and creating tactical conflict in the courtroom. He reveals why traditional “victim stories” fail before a jury and explains how to reframe your client’s case into a narrative of survival and resilience.

We also pull back the curtain on the business of law. Andrew explains how his firm completely integrated artificial intelligence as a “digital employee” to run focus groups, analyze massive medical record datasets, and maintain trial velocity. Plus, we look at the real impact of private equity vertical ownership and how corporate giants like Uber are leveraging massive capital to pass aggressive tort reform initiatives designed to close courthouse doors.

Whether you are a seasoned trial attorney looking to sharpen your courtroom execution, a law firm owner adapting to private equity, or an advocate passionate about civil justice, this conversation provides an elite blueprint for modern legal practice.
