  1. Kimball Jones – Thirty Days, Three Verdicts, One Exceptional Team

    3 DAYS AGO

    Kimball Jones – Thirty Days, Three Verdicts, One Exceptional Team

    Verdict number 1: $7 million. Verdict number 2: $101 million. Verdict number 3: $13.2 million. That’s how a recent 30-day run went for Kimball Jones and his team at Bighorn Law. While he’s proud of those accomplishments, and others, “It's the firm that we've put together – That’s gotta be the thing that I'm the most proud of.” Tune in with host Dan Ambrose as Kimball describes why he’s proud of the team, especially how they bolstered the recent cases. He will share more for TLU: on October 1, he’ll break down the case with the $13.2 million verdict, a challenging one because his client didn't seek treatment for the first time until two weeks after the crash that injured her. On October 14 for TLU, he’ll analyze a wrongful death car accident case that will have gone to trial just the prior week. Then, the following week at TLU Vegas, Kimball will offer two one-hour lectures: one about lessons learned along his journey and the other about strategies to overcome “gaps-in-care” cases like the one where he secured $13.2 million.

    Robert Glassman — How Leveling with Jurors Helped Win an $11 Million Verdict

    Robert S. Glassman’s client was driving a motorcycle over the posted speed limit when a city truck cut in front of him from a side street. In the ensuing crash, the cyclist was injured.  On this episode of Trial Lawyers University, hear how Robert presented the facts about his client’s speeding during jury selection to weed out jurors who didn’t think they could be impartial when deciding who was to blame for the accident. Robert also shares how he relied on the testimony of an expert witness to prove that – even if his client had been going the posted speed limit – the accident still would have occurred, and the injuries would have been the same.  Ultimately, the jury found that Robert’s client was speeding, but that the city truck was to blame for the accident. The verdict: $11 million to Robert’s client. Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Robert S.

    Mike Morse — Securing $75 Million in Wrongful Death Poisoning Case

    After years of settling cases out of court, Mike Morse represented the parents of a college student who died at a friend’s house when he took a high dose of “molly,” or MDMA, that he was told was Adderall. The young man’s friends videotaped him and posted videos to Snapchat of him struggling under the effects of the drug, but they didn’t call for help until after he died.  Tearing up when the student’s parents told him the story, Mike agreed to take the case. But he hadn’t tried a case before a jury in 15 years, so he hired a jury consultant and coach and began listening to recordings, through Trial Lawyers University, of attorneys explaining how they won their cases. Listen as Mike describes how he picked a jury, tried the case, and secured $75 million. He also reflects on a different case in which he secured the release of his client who had been wrongfully convicted.   Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Mike Morse | LinkedIn | Email ☑️ 855MikeWins | Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | X | Facebook | Podcast ☑️ TLU VEGAS ☑️ Trial Lawyers University ☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos ☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn ☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Episode SnapshotWhy background mattered in Mike’s case representing the parents of a 21-year-old man who died after ingesting “molly” – which his friends said was Adderall. How charges were dismissed during the criminal trial because of prosecutorial misconduct.Why Mike hired a jury consultant who also coached him on how to present his case.Why Mike told prospective jurors that the case was about poisoning, not a...

    Sean Claggett – Forget What You Learned in Law School. Juries Are Predictable

    When Sean Claggett says that it’s rare for a lawyer armed with data to lose at trial, he has the data to back it up. The evidence can be found in the pages of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution is Here, the groundbreaking book that Sean wrote with Alicia Campbell and John Campbell. As Sean explains to host Dan Ambrose, their research made it clear that lawyers should reject the notion that jury trials are risky because “you never know what a jury is going to do… I think juried behavior is very predictable.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Sean recounts the genesis of JuryBall, his recent $24.6 million verdict in a med-mal case, and the tracks he’ll teach at TLU VEGAS.

    Joe Fried – Embracing the TLU Platform to Teach Trucking Law

    For Joe Fried of Fried Goldberg LLC, two upcoming cases offer a great opportunity to share his insight as a founder of truck accident law. That’s what he’ll do at TLU VEGAS. In this detailed preview, Joe joins host Dan Ambrose to highlight the cases: one on behalf of a brain-injured client and another on behalf of a child run over by an Amazon delivery van. He’ll teach the “speed trial” technique that he plans to leverage in the TBI case, calling a summary witness to sum up the complicated medical testimony in about an hour. His session on the “Amazonation” of trucking will guide plaintiffs’ attorneys on the nuances of different Amazon cases. Tune in for more about his strategies, including a few that some may disagree with, like this one: “I've given up feeling the need to teach medical school every time I have an injury.” Are you a truck accident attorney? The Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, which Joe co-founded, could be a helpful resource.

    Rahul Ravipudi – Injured Client, Signed Waiver, $46 Million Verdict

    The beginning jiu-jitsu student had signed a waiver to take lessons; that much was clear. Also clear, tragically so, was that the young man suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury while sparring with his jiu-jitsu instructor.  Plaintiffs’ attorney Rahul Ravipudi and his team moved, successfully, to get the waiver deemed unenforceable. That was one early strategy that Rahul describes to host Dan Ambrose. In voir dire, the team carefully deselected jurors who may have had biases about engaging in risky activities like martial arts. An expert witness proved powerful: A member of the founding family of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he not only explained best practices to the jury but also demonstrated them – on Rahul.

    Sach Oliver – Turning Early Losses into a Methodology for Success

    “It wasn't all so sunny and shiny early on, taking those hits,” Sach Oliver says about his early trial losses. To get back up, he broke down his failures to make sure he’d never repeat them. The result is a methodology for success that Sach describes in Depositions Are Trial, his new book that he will teach at TLU Vegas. In a preview with host Dan Ambrose, Sach highlights foundational elements of his techniques – starting with the art of establishing the timeline in depositions because, as he’s learned, jurors find timelines influential. From physical strategies – like scouting out the courtroom before trial to prepare for setting up displays – to verbal strategies – like telling the client’s story so it sticks in jurors’ minds – Sach outlines the lessons he’s learned and is eager to share.

    Michael Alder - Don’t Fear Obstacles in Your Case. They’re a Gift

    When Michael Alder’s client goes to trial, she will face what Michael believes is the number one type of discrimination today: weight. She’s 5-foot-1, weighs about 235 pounds, and cannot have surgery to relieve pain from injuries suffered in a car accident until she loses weight. In this dispute over liability, Michael will leverage the skills and strategies he’s developed as a top personal injury lawyer in California. With host Dan Ambrose, Michael describes how this challenging case demonstrates his trial strategies: attacking sensitive issues head-on, being honest, and turning a bad situation into a good one. Tune in to learn more about his philosophy, and be ready for a few bad jokes. After all, finding success in the courtroom is like telling a lot of bad jokes. If you keep telling the jokes – taking on the hard cases and pushing through the failures – at some point, you’ll hit the mark. Need a financial scholarship to attend TLU Vegas?
