We sat down, again, with Randy Sorrels after he tried a case to a $352 million dollar verdict against Allied Aviation, represented by Rusty Hardin. It is the largest non-punitive single plaintiff verdict in Texas history. Randy spoke to us about how he dismantled experts, how he said no to large numbers at mediation, and how he retrieved insights from focus groups. This is a can't miss. Jeff and Mike watched the trial while it was being broadcasted via zoom and had to have Randy back on the show to hear his process in obtaining these fantastic results.

Ron and Jay speak about the importance of getting on the scene, preparing for trial, and how they had to pivot at trial. Like what you hear? Please Subscribe & Review!

We sat down with Sari De La Motte to speak about nonverbal communication at a young attorneys' first voir dire and opening. Sari authored the book From Hostage to Hero: Captivate the Jury by Setting Them Free. Sari consults with trial attorneys all over the country, assisting with trial strategy, voir dire and opening statement. She conducts mock trials in her studio in Portland, Oregon. Beyond trial prep strategy, however, Sari works with attorneys to move thru their limiting beliefs and gives them the tools to become their most powerful and authentic self in the courtroom. By doing this, not only are attorneys equipped to help move their jurors from hostages to heroes, but can set themselves free and become the hero jurors need as well.

We sat down with past Texas State Bar President and Owner of Sorrels Law, Randy Sorrels, to talk about his recent $3.24 million dollar verdict during the pandemic. Randy represented Kacy Clemens and Conner Capel, sons of former major league baseball players, when they were assaulted by bouncers of an upscale bar, Concrete Cowboy, on New Year's Eve.

The defense fought to keep any wrongdoing out of Randy's hands but, with sheer tenacity, Randy was able to present significant evidence to the jury. This is a great episode for young attorneys to understand the importance of investigating your case as soon as possible.
