I've got Sean Luchnick with me right now. Sean, thanks for being here.Sean: Thank you for inviting me, Justin.Justin: You're one in a long, illustrious list of lawyers in San Antonio who have joined me on the podcast to talk about the law, being a lawyer, and the type of work we do.Sean: I'm honored that you had me here today.Justin: Well, you work for the Luchnick Law Firm, it's you, and your father, and your wife?Sean: Yes, that's why it's named after my last name.Justin: What type of work do you all do?Sean: We do predominantly a personal injury, but any case that comes to the door, we're all ears.Justin: Yes, you all are going to do a big massive antitrust case?Sean: Absolutely.
