From More Likely Than Not by Aldous Law

About this episode
Ben Gideon discusses his approach to high-profile legal cases, including claims against the U.S. Army related to a mass shooting incident.
“He has threatened to commit a mass shooting.” An Army reservist texted those chilling words to the commanding officer about Robert Card, a fellow reservist. Tragically, Card followed through on his threat at a Maine bowling alley. Today, Ben Gideon is leading claims against the U.S. Army and Army Reserve for failing to take steps to stop the risk that Card presented. “Part of our thinking in this case and our presentation is: If we can't stop this, we're hopeless,” he explains to host Charla Aldous . Tune in to hear Ben reveal how he’s approaching this high-profile case and how he’s approached others – including one where he secured the largest med-mal and PI verdict in Maine – to confirm his reputation among the nation’s elite med-mal lawyers.
