181 - Laura Pazin Porter – Resolving a Wrongful Death Case with Empathy, Strategy


Listen Later

These cases are “righteous,” explains host Michael Cowen, “because when a tractor trailer is backing across the roadway, it is very difficult for oncoming traffic to see the trailer in time to stop.” He and trial partner Laura Pazin Porter recently resolved just such a case, in which their clients’ father died after striking an 18-wheeler that was backing across a highway at night. Laura describes how she established trust with the grieving family members, and Michael reveals how he channeled his “Just Keep Swimming” mantra during adverse rulings. Together, they achieved a confidential settlement right before closing arguments.

Michael and Malorie welcome listener questions for a new "Ask Michael and Malorie Anything" feature. To submit a question, email Michael.
