Attorney Matt Stoddard said he typically doesn’t represent drunken plaintiffs, but when his former colleague Joel Williams referred him a case where a patron at a golf club bar fell into a 12-foot-deep concrete pit, he made an exception.

“The guy was hurt pretty bad. It seemed like the type of thing that could happen to me—I go to a golf club, I drink alcohol—and I was really excited that, if this case went to trial, I would get to try it with Joel,” Stoddard said.
