"It's in your cells. It's in your DNA. It's a burning, vibrating chord that never stops. It sees injustice and needs to go out and make things right. The righteous fight. That's what the best trial lawyers have in common.” - Nick Rowley 

Billion-dollar victories. Legal revolutionary. Philanthropist. Countless awards. Author. Nick Rowley is a tireless warrior for justice and one of the most accomplished trial lawyers of his generation. Nick's unbridled tenacity — matched only by his defiance — was ingrained by childhood adversity.

"If you can't kill me, you're never going to stop me." - Nick Rowley

Every time Nick was knocked down, he sprung up with more energy — and rage. In the first decade of his legal career, anger both fueled and limited his success. But with time comes perspective. And asked himself a game changing question: Could he shift from aggression to love — and be even more successful?

"And that has been my project over the second half of my career." - Nick Rowley

Today Nick shares the value of learning from our losses, what all great trial lawyers have in common, and how the biggest risks come with the greatest rewards.

When an attorney asks a juror for unfiltered truth, there is a shift in the courtroom. A connection is formed — one based on trust. But creating space for others to be brutally honest does not come easily. The price is vulnerability: giving strangers that have doubts about you permission to think what they want and say how they feel. 

When you open the courtroom to honesty based in trust, you are rewarded with a jury that lets down their guard and sees your plaintiff as a human, just like them, deserving of restitution.
