  • Hosts allow guests to tell their stories!

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, every night when I go to bed, I line up a few to keep my mind from racing. When it comes to actually allowing the guests to speak, tell their whole story and their fight on strategy for cases, strategy for asking for damages, strategy for presenting to a jury…. All without being interrupted constantly. This has become one of my favorite podcasts for for that specific reason because the content the guests bring is already really very good.

  • Jefferson v. Mazzieo

    Good job to plaintiffs counsel. Note, it is systemic cruelty in our system that is intentional that even in death this African American mother’s life was monetarily devalued. From the moment she was born each institution ensured that from cradle to grave she would be viewed as less than - that is the loss that damages will never measure.

  • Badly Needs Balance

    These stories would be so much more informative and interesting if both sides were presented. The world is much more nuanced than the “all plaintiffs’ cases are meritorious and all defendants and their lawyers are cheating scum” attitude here.

  • Great length and not a bunch of filler

    I always thought I should have been a lawyer. Listening to to the nuance of jury selection, cross examination and strategies is very fullfilling

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GTP CLASSIC: Philip Sieff and Tara Sutton | McDougall v. CRC Industries | $7.75 Million
Q: Why was punitive damages pursued and what happened with them?
Punitive damages were pursued after a motion to amend the complaint was granted; however, the jury chose not to award punitive damages, instead leaving a note urging industry leadership to address the problem.
GTP CLASSIC: Philip Sieff and Tara Sutton | McDougall v. CRC Industries | $7.75 Million
Q: Was the driver's intoxication a central focus of the case, or was the liability about the manufacturer's duty to prevent misuse?
The case centered on the manufacturer's duty to prevent foreseeable misuse, with the driver's impairment used to illustrate the broader harm and foreseeability, rather than treating the driver as the sole defendant in a criminal sense.
GTP CLASSIC: Philip Sieff and Tara Sutton | McDougall v. CRC Industries | $7.75 Million
Q: What could the manufacturers have done differently to prevent misuse of the product?
They could have implemented stronger retail controls, education for retailers, and design or packaging changes to deter abuse, such as behind-the-counter placement and enhanced warnings—measures the jurors believed were lacking.
Eric Fong | Hilton v. Washington State DOC, et al | $42 Million Verdict
Q: Were there any sovereign immunity type issues you were dealing with?
There were immunity issues raised on appeal, but we prepared sufficiently to navigate them.
Eric Fong | Hilton v. Washington State DOC, et al | $42 Million Verdict

It was clear to see the traumas Jessica suffered, which were beyond anything previously encountered.
