  • Great trial podcast

    It’s been some time since I’ve tried a case and I have a few likely to go soon. This podcast has helped me remember why I became a trial lawyer in the first place, reconnect with my experience, and has helped me convert anxiety to action. A big thank you to Michael and guests.

  • Jury selection opportunity

    Caring about the people around you sometimes means wearing a mask - people wear masks for reasons other than being worried that they might get sick themself. Y’all are missing out on jurors that could be great for your clients because you aren't asking why. Bridge the gap y'all - let's help justice be less political and more civil.

  • Fantastic

    I just started listening to this podcast and am upset that it took me this long to do so. Michael is very knowledgeable and the guests he invites on to share their stories are knowledgeable also. As a practicing attorney, I find this podcast to be helpful to my everyday journey. Big Rig Justice is great too; a must read!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

200- Michael James on Trial Strategy, Adaptability, and Overcoming Challenges
Q: How did you approach presenting the witness and the deposition in a way the jury would understand?
We focused on reading the deposition transcript aloud when video was excluded, supplemented by live questioning, and we used simple, direct questions to elicit clear, relatable answers from the defendant and eyewitness to anchor the jury's understanding.
200- Michael James on Trial Strategy, Adaptability, and Overcoming Challenges
Q: What was the biggest challenge when you took over the case just days before trial?
The biggest challenge was not knowing the case details, lacking medical testimony, and having to pivot quickly to a viable trial strategy by recruiting a fresh witness lineup and securing admissible evidence to support damages.
199- Developing Great Trial Lawyers: John Romano on Preparation, Passion, and Purpose
Q: What is it about what we do that makes you still love it after all these years?
A deep passion for helping people, the teamwork, and the fulfillment of seeing clients' lives improve through effective advocacy; the profession remains endlessly engaging due to the variety of cases and the ongoing opportunity to make a real difference.
192-Michael Leizerman-How Michael Leizerman Secured an $82.1 Million Win in a Landmark Trucking Case
Q: How did you come up with what the right amount of money was to ask for?
I asked for $91 million, returned a verdict of $82 million. I didn't ask for it in opening, only in closing, which is my style.
189-Michael Cowen-Mastering the Art and Heart of Legal Practice
Q: What do you wish you knew then (as a young lawyer)?
He would advise himself to find a mentor instead of taking on too much responsibility too early, which led to developing bad habits.
