Ep. 276 - [TRIAL DEBRIEF] How Anna Martinez Turned a $75k Offer into an $890,000 Verdict


Listen Later

Let's talk about mindset shifts that ACTUALLY WIN TRIALS.

Anna Martinez ditched the fear-driven playbook and leaned into the POWER of juror connection.

The result?

🎯 A CAREER-BOOSTING WIN.

In this week's episode, Anna breaks down the H2H strategies that led her to a confident, concise, and powerful case presentation:

✨ Step 1: Make voir dire count. Anna turned the awkward Q&A into a real conversation, making jurors feel respected, heard, and ready to stand behind her client.

đź§  Step 2: Simplify, simplify, simplify. Even with a case about drainage systems (not exactly Netflix material), Anna broke it down into a compelling narrative jurors could relate to and follow with ease.

🏠 Step 3: Show, don't just tell. Using the "Damages House" framework from the brilliant Christy Crowe Childers (or TRIPLE C 💪 as I like to call her), Anna made every loss feel tangible, real, and impossible to overlook.

If you're TIRED of overwhelm, fear, and overcomplicating your trial strategies, THIS is the episode that will change your game.

Xo, Sari

Quote:

  • "One of the things that I said is, well—what would Sari say?—'What do you want to know from the jurors, Anna?' I thought, 'Oh, I know what I want to know. I want to know how many jurors here help people. Why is it important to help people? Why would you want to help people? That's just out of the goodness of your heart. Basically, do you want to protect people and help them? Is that your spirit? Is that your heart?' I want to find those people and put them on my jury." — Anna Martinez
