Team Stogner operates through a pod structure. That word sounds clinical, but what it describes is straightforward and important: every client’s case is assigned to a dedicated, tightly coordinated team built around a single lead attorney. That attorney is supported by two paralegals with distinct and complementary responsibilities, one focused entirely on the legal mechanics of your case and one focused entirely on the medical side of your recovery. Together, the three of them function as a single unit whose only job is to move your case forward and take care of you while they do it.
Brant and Jennifer Stogner lead the team overall, setting the standard for how every case on the docket is prepared and managed. The lead attorneys in each pod were selected because they share that standard and have demonstrated the judgment and commitment to uphold it. Every significant decision in every case on the team ultimately runs through Brant and Jennifer’s oversight. The depth of preparation that has produced over $230 million in gross verdicts and settlements, before deduction of attorney’s fees and litigation expenses, does not belong to the lead attorneys alone. It belongs to the entire structure.
Here is how the three roles inside each pod work, and what they mean for you specifically.
Your Lead Attorney. Every case is assigned a lead attorney who is responsible for the overall legal strategy, the case theory, the major decisions at every stage of litigation, and the final push toward trial or settlement. Your lead attorney is not a figurehead who appears at the end. They are in your case from the first review of the facts, shaping how it is built and what it is worth. They are the person who knows your case deeply enough to take it to trial if that is what it requires, and who prepares for that possibility from the day they are assigned.
Your Litigation Paralegal. The litigation paralegal is the operational engine of your case. They manage deadlines, court filings, discovery, correspondence with opposing counsel, and the procedural machinery that keeps a case moving through the legal system on schedule. In complex catastrophic injury litigation, the number of moving parts is significant: depositions to schedule, experts to coordinate, documents to manage, deadlines that cannot be missed without consequences. Your litigation paralegal tracks all of it, communicates with you about what is happening and why, and makes sure that nothing falls through the cracks at any stage of the process. When you want to know where your case stands procedurally, your litigation paralegal is the person who can tell you with precision.
Your Treatment Paralegal. The treatment paralegal manages everything that touches your medical care and your recovery. They coordinate with your doctors, track your treatment records, manage the flow of medical documentation that a serious injury case requires, and serve as your consistent point of contact for the questions that come up when you are trying to navigate both a physical recovery and a legal case at the same time. In a catastrophic injury case, the medical record is often the foundation of the legal claim. The treatment paralegal ensures that foundation is complete, accurate, and properly documented at every stage. They also ensure that you, as a client, are never trying to figure out on your own what your medical obligations are to your case.
These three roles are not interchangeable, and they are not accidental. They reflect years of operational refinement around a single insight: catastrophic injury cases fail or succeed in the details. The legal details and the medical details. A team structured to manage both with dedicated, specialized attention is a team that does not miss things. And in this kind of litigation, missing things has consequences that cannot always be undone.
