Can you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?
I'm a personal injury attorney based in Baltimore, Maryland. I’ve been practicing law for over 25 years, focusing on personal injury, nursing home abuse, and appellate law. I run my own firm, the Law Offices of Francis A. Pommett III, and I’ve handled everything from high-stakes litigation in federal court to community-level cases that deeply affect local families. I’m also an LL.M. graduate in International & Comparative Law from Georgetown, and I believe that law should be both principled and practical.
How would you describe your personal or professional vibe in 3 words?
Direct, prepared, grounded.
What’s one fun fact about you most people don’t know?
I used to coach youth girls’ soccer and was very involved in 4-H when I was younger—livestock judging and all. I still enjoy spending time around farms when I can.
What’s your favorite TV show right now?
Probably Better Call Saul. It’s a little close to home, but the character development and ethical tension in the legal world make it hard not to appreciate..
What’s your most-used social media app these days?
LinkedIn. I mostly use it to stay connected with professional contacts, follow legal news, and support colleagues' work.
What was the first social media app you ever joined?
Facebook. Like many people, it was originally to keep up with friends and family, but over time I started seeing how it could also be a tool for staying in touch with local issues and community efforts.

Are there any influencers or creators you never miss content from?
I like following legal thought leaders who are clear without being performative—Ken White (@Popehat) is someone I’ve followed for a while because he balances insight with integrity. I also appreciate content from trial attorneys who use social media to demystify the courtroom for everyday people.
Are there any must-follow accounts or pages for people in your industry?
The ABA Journal on Twitter and LinkedIn is a solid go-to. I also recommend following state bar associations and court accounts to stay updated on rule changes and case law trends. For personal injury, Trial Lawyers University has some great educational clips.
Do you listen to any podcasts related to your field or niche?
Yes, Trial Lawyer Nation by Michael Cowen is excellent. It features real conversations about case strategy, client relationships, and the emotional side of being a trial attorney. I also like LawNext for broader legal innovation topics.
What’s the best advice you’ve heard from a podcast or interview?
From a Trial Lawyer Nation episode: “Never assume the jury knows what you know.” That stuck with me. We live and breathe these cases, but for jurors, it’s day one. Clear, honest communication beats cleverness every time.
If you could collab with any influencer or celeb, who would it be?
Probably someone like John Grisham. His books have brought courtroom dynamics into the public imagination, and I think a discussion between fiction and real practice would be fascinating—especially on what lawyers really face day to day.
What’s a habit, hack, or tool you swear by for staying informed or inspired?
Reading actual court opinions every week—not just summaries. It’s easy to rely on headlines or secondhand analysis, but reading the full decisions keeps my mind sharp and connected to how the law is actually evolving.
