Hey guys, one of the things that we do most notably on my channel that other lawyer channels do not do is we give lawyers a ranking based on what they've accomplished. I actually had five different factors and was going to do a tier list on every lawyer that we covered so far and why not do it with the Dentons Durham Jones. So they are the law firm that is on BAM franchising side. You can see there is a lot of different plaintiffs. BAM, Ammon, Matthew, Joss is a plaintiff as is Brandon as is Baker Bricks and Salem Baker Bricks. So those are all the plaintiffs.
They have one law firm. That one law firm has three different attorneys representing them. Now the law firm is about 100 attorneys. All three attorneys as we're going to see are Mormon. So who are they suing? Reckless Ben Reckless Ben's liability company, Bryan Mansell, very interesting to sue Bryan, Victor Nguyen and Indos 1 to 15. So as many people as they possibly can sue that will be later identified.
So this is the main guy. His name is W.M. Kelly Nash. He is a shareholder.
A shareholder means you get a part of So if there is money left over cuz the law firms are very profitable entities.
You get a piece of the cake if you will.
He is a very very interesting individual. He's also general counsel for a Fortune 70 company.
So senior counsel and the general counsel office.
Okay, that's a weird way to say it but he's an adjunct professor at BYU business school.
So what is his relationship with BYU outside of being adjunct professor?
He got his education there as well. So, BYU would be the Mormon University.
BYU has an excellent law school, top 25.
As of this exact year, it's 24.
So, it is on par to the law school I went to.
In 1986, he graduated a magna laude, which means you're 95 to 99 percentile.
Uh you are one of these got one of the best grades. And he actually went to BYU in 1983 for undergrad.
So, if there was more BYU in this guy, I I don't know.
I mean, he's a currently an adjunct professor there at the business school.
He graduated the law school. He graduated the undergrad.
BYU probably runs in his blood. And BYU University, you're going to see is very common among the police department uh on in American Fork, the prosecution's office, uh even the judge.
BYU's a very popular school in Utah.
So, here's a a little bit about his LinkedIn. You know, I like LinkedIn. I have almost 50,000 followers on LinkedIn. I used to use it a ton. I barely use it today.
But yeah, LinkedIn is where lawyers put their profiles, their accomplishments.
Uh this is the second lawyer, Justin T.Rich.
He is a associate. Uh so, in Dentons Durham, blah blah blah blah.
Uh he actually graduated the University of Utah. So, again, he's a Mormon. How do we know that he's a Mormon? He went to undergrad for BYU.
So, he was Utah Law Review. So, if you've gone through law school, you know it's hard to get on law review.
Uh he doesn't have as many cases.
He is very very young and probably going to do most of the heavy lifting cuz he is the recent associate. So him, not so afraid of. W. M. Kelly, that's the dude.
Uh that is a shareholder.
This is his background, recent grad, has less than 4 years under his belt.
Uh he graduated BYU with a bachelor's uh in arts in Russian.
So this type of individual, not much case law, not much not much history about him, so not too afraid.
Here we have Justin Rich's LinkedIn. I always like to look at LinkedIn. I like to look at how many connections you have and so forth and who those connections are. Unfortunately, we don't have any shared connections that would be able to connect us both.
So here is Justin Rich, very new. Uh this is typically what happens at larger law firms. You have a very senior lawyer who's done and has a great reputation and then now you pair him with two junior lawyers.
So the senior lawyer is in fact very scary and in fact very good at what he does.
He doesn't lose too many cases. So I have looked at his case law, the one that he's made public.
And it's pretty impressive. The junior attorneys, they're just fresh out of school. This guy is just out of law school, right? Uh University of Utah hired and now he's going to work with a shareholder.
Makes sense.
Uh the issue with big law is resources. They have lawyers, they have paralegals, they have secretaries, they have people, they have a lot of resources.
So, Mina uh is someone who's slightly more experienced, right? Slightly. He is a also associate, also same type of background. He graduated BYU in 2025.
Actually, that would be just this year.
Yeah, actually last year. Okay, so it looks like he has less experience. He went to Oakland University and BYU, and he's 1 year in. So, you have a senior lawyer with over 30-plus years.
Let's say I have to count.
He probably has more than 35 years of experience, doesn't he? So, he has something close to that.
And then you have two junior attorneys or associate attorneys.
One of them just graduated last year in 2025.
You know, other one also just 4 years in.
So, now they are going to take on Reckless Ben.
They are all Mormons. Again, this individual went graduated from BYU Law School.
Very fascinating case. Now, how important is a lawyer?
A lawyer is absolutely important. If you want a case law that I could cite you, I would probably cite the O.J. case.
Not the civil case, the criminal case.
Where you had Johnny Cochran, legendary lawyer, very, very good. O.J. was dead to rights.
So much evidence and they couldn't convict him.
And then on the other side, you have the prosecutor. So, you have Johnny Cochran, if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.
And all types of really interesting legal strategies that only Johnny Cochran could probably pull off without laughing his ass off, right?
And O.J. was guilty and didn't go to jail for that specific murder.
Later, he would go to jail for, interestingly enough, trying to break into a hotel to take over his sports memorabilia.
So, he lost his civil lawsuit cuz the burden is much less there, and they took away everything, including his Heisman Trophy, to pay for the civil part of the lawsuit.
Fascinating case, but if you want to see a difference in terms of how valuable a good attorney makes, that would be the case. Johnny Cochran, one of the best attorneys, and probably the most expensive one of the most expensive attorneys, given inflation, that you could buy, versus a prosecutor who really truly wasn't that good in my personal opinion.
You give the fact pattern, you give the you give the best fact pattern the prosecutor possibly ask for, multiple mistakes were made on the prosecution side, and the jury the jury said, "No, he's not guilty." So, if you ever wanted to know what the value of a lawyer lawyer is, I would suggest watching that case if you're interested in the law.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think in the comments below. All right, guys.
