Most attorneys think their job is to present information to the jury. 

But here’s the truth: presenting isn’t enough — you NEED to perform.

The best trial attorneys don’t JUST deliver a case. 

They OWN the courtroom, COMMAND attention, and MOVE jurors to action. 

Here’s what we’re covering:

💡 The four levels of trial presentation — and why most attorneys never reach the final stage. 🛑 Why writing out your opening statement could be quietly killing your persuasion. 🔥 How to stop “presenting” and start connecting with jurors so they take action.

Most attorneys get stuck trying to “get it right.” 

But when you MASTER this approach, you STOP performing for jurors and START influencing them.

Tune in now 🎧

"If you think your job is just to present information to the jury, you’re already losing. Jurors don’t give a shit about your polished script or perfect delivery — they care about how you make them feel. If you want to win, stop performing for them and start connecting with them."

Ever found yourself scrambling to come up with voir dire questions and hoping they land

 Stop. Right. There. 

Asking, “What should I ask in voir dire?” is like asking “What turn should I take?” without knowing where you’re headed.

Before you focus on the questions, you need to know the destination.

In this power-packed 15-minute episode, we’re breaking down how to craft a voir dire strategy that actually inspires jurors to take action in favor of your case instead of leaving them confused or disengaged.

🎙️ Tune in and fix your voir dire strategy today.

Quote: 

“Asking yourself, ‘What should I ask in voir dire?’ is not the question. The question you need to ask is, ‘Where am I going?’ Or, as Sari says, ‘What principle are you driving to?’ Before you even sit down and start writing your voir dire questions, I want you to think, ‘What do I want my jurors to give me? What am I sourcing from them?’ Have an endpoint. It’s kind of like going, ‘Where should I go? Should I turn right or should I turn left on a road trip?’”

Should you talk about money in voir dire?

Before you panic and say, “No way, Sari! That’s too risky!” — HEAR ME OUT.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most controversial questions in jury selection: 

Should you tell jurors the number you’re asking for?

Spoiler alert: I usually say yes. 

BUT, (and it’s a big but) HOW and WHEN you bring it up makes all the difference.

Here’s what we’re covering:

💰 Why saying the number early could backfire (and when it actually works in your favor). 💰 How to get jurors to justify your number themselves — instead of rejecting it. 💰 The secret to making a big ask (I’m talking $100M+) feel completely reasonable.

The truth is, most attorneys are scared to say the number.

And I get it. 

But if you own it, if you believe it, the jury will believe it too.

Xo, Sari

Quote: 

"If it’s a huge number, like $100 million, I’m going to suggest you throw it out there—but systematically, at the right time. When you do it right, jurors don’t just accept the number, they start justifying it themselves."

"So if what they want is to really be sure before they hand over this money—which again, yes, it’s not their money, but they’re in charge of it for all intents and purposes—and what they want to be able to spend it or allow it to be spent is to be sure, let’s do things that make them sure. Let’s remove their objections and their doubts. And as you know, if you follow me, the best place to do that is in voir dire."

Oh, and if you’re juggling ALL the things and thinking, “There’s no way I could make this work,” let me tell you — YOU CAN. 

(I’ve even got my time blocked for Netflix binges. Priorities, people!)

“Now, what's really important about this is when I see what's left for work, I get real clear, real fast about what I'm going to say yes to. Because I know I only have 30-ish hours a week to work and you might think, oh my God, Sari, how could you get shit done? Because I get really choosy about what I am saying yes to and I get focused. When I know I only have 30 hours a week, I get shit done.”

"Mindset was the anchor that kept us steady during the storm. Recognizing and naming our fears didn’t make them disappear, but it allowed us to take control and refocus. We shifted to trust—trust in ourselves, trust in our preparation, and trust in the jury. That confidence transformed how we presented our case. The work we did on our mindset wasn’t just part of the process; it was the reason we walked into that courtroom ready to win."

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.

🧠 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.

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

Ever wonder what happens when someone learns the H2H Method on a Friday... and then walks into jury selection on Monday and crushes it? 😳

Meet Frank Fratello, a trial attorney who took what he learned at my voir dire training at TLU and turned it into a jaw-dropping $2.1 MILLION verdict.

And trust me, this case had everything stacked against him — no visible injuries, a plaintiff who looked too healthy, AND a pre-trial million-dollar offer that most would’ve grabbed.

But Frank said, "Nope. Let’s dance."

In this episode, Frank breaks down how he: 

✅ Used the H2H Method to win over the jury ✅ Navigated tricky voir dire moments (including a very bold DVAQ move)  ✅ Stayed calm under pressure when things went sideways

It’s RAW, it’s REAL, and it’s a masterclass in trusting your jurors — and yourself.

Tune in NOW!

Quote: 

• "Joy isn’t a to-do list item. Joy is something you need to notice. It’s something that’s in the ether that just bypasses us unless we’re looking for it. I have a personal mantra right now: 'I create space for joy.' We tend to think we don’t have time for joy, but once you create that space, you have more opportunities to find it. Look for it in those messy, funny moments, like when the flour spills on the floor and the dogs get powdery noses. Find the moments. They’re there if you look."

❗NEWSFLASH – instructing the jurors to put a value on non-economic damages is like asking someone to build a piece of IKEA furniture without the instruction manual. 

Jurors are practically BEGGING you for a formula, and without guidance, they often feel resigned to the task well before deliberation even begins.

**THE DAMAGES HOUSE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**

🏠 The Damages House is a powerful visual approach that organizes each of your state’s jury charges into “rooms” in a house, providing jurors with a clear and logical foundation for your non-economic damages ask.

🤔 AND WHO, you ask, is the MASTERMIND behind this strategy? 

My brilliant friend, coach here at H2H, a leading lady in trucking law, and soon-to-be published author, it’s none other than…

• “By giving them this framework, we're creating juror epiphanies within themselves. So, I'm going to give them a house and put each category of non-economic damages in the same size rooms and then let the jurors decide which rooms are supposed to be bigger. And so, they're using it as language to trade and make rooms bigger or smaller, and of course that correlates with dollars.”
