  • The YOU Interview with Robert May
    Mar 18 2026
    Before you hire a personal injury lawyer, you should know who they really are. In this debut episode of Car Accident Attorney w. Robert May, founding attorney Robert May sits down for an unfiltered, story-driven conversation about his life, his law career, and the values that drive everything he does. This is Episode 1 — and it starts exactly where it should: with the man behind the firm. If you've ever been in a car accident, dealt with an insurance company that wouldn't budge, or simply wondered whether you even need a personal injury attorney, this episode was made for you. Robert doesn't just talk about the law — he lived it. As a teenager, he was the victim of a serious personal injury and had to navigate the legal system as a plaintiff without knowing what he was doing or what he deserved. That experience became the foundation of everything: his decision to attend California Western School of Law, his relentless approach to fighting for clients, and his mission to build a firm where every person who walks through the door is treated like family. Today, The May Firm has offices across California, has recovered over $100 million for clients, and carries a 99% win rate — even on cases other firms turned away. In "The YOU Interview," Robert opens up about his journey from student to founder, his philosophy on negotiation versus going to trial, how he defines success beyond settlements, and where he sees the future of personal injury law heading — including the role of technology and AI. He also answers the questions most accident victims are too afraid to ask: What does a personal injury attorney actually do? When should you call one? And what's the best way to reach The May Firm if you think you have a case? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Robert's origin story: How a personal injury he suffered as a teenager led him to law school and to founding one of California's most recognized personal injury firms What personal injury attorneys actually do: Robert busts common myths and explains the real role a car accident attorney plays in protecting your rights and maximizing your accident compensation Case strategy and philosophy: How Robert approaches each injury claim — from early investigation to negotiation and, when necessary, trial Negotiation vs. litigation: When to settle, when to fight, and how Robert decides what's truly in the client's best interest The future of law: Robert's take on how technology and AI are reshaping the legal field and how The May Firm stays ahead His guiding values: The personal principles and key influences that have shaped Robert's career and define the firm's culture How to reach The May Firm: Where to go and what to do if you've been in an accident and need trusted legal advice ABOUT THE MAY FIRM: Founded by brothers Robert, Garrett, and Cameron May, The May Firm is California's award-winning personal injury law firm — 100% dedicated to representing accident victims, never insurance companies.
