The bottom line is this. Trial Lawyers need to win the case. Often, the future of the client’s ability to move forward in life and his/her ability to have sufficient funds for medical care, financial independence and adequate compensation for pain and suffering depends on the outcome of the case. While much has been written about trial techniques throughout the years, there are certain time tested and proven tactics and strategies that will allow you to achieve better results for your clients. The goal, at all times, is to maximize the clients recovery. With this in mind, the lectures and workshops that I will be conducting will focus on:

DIRECT AND CROSS EXAMINATION

Have you ever watched a witness testify on direct and said to yourself — that witness was fantastic - that lawyer is so lucky? Conversely, have you ever watched a witness get destroyed on cross and said to yourself— that witness just fell apart - that lawyer is so lucky? This is not just the luck of the draw. There are reasons the witness exam was successful. This part of the talk will focus on techniques that deal head on with those reasons: How did the lawyer deal with the problem areas? How did the lawyer explore and explain the medicals, the financial and economic loss, and the past and future pain and suffering? How did the lawyer deal with opposing experts - both substantively and through collateral attack? And how did the lawyer set the stage for final argument? Real life examples from hundreds of trials will be offered.
