"When you get a verdict, you have till midnight to either celebrate or to sulk," observes John Romano. With 51 years of trial experience, John reflects on his journey from military JAG prosecutor with 125 trials under his belt to becoming one of America's most prolific trial advocacy teachers. Tune in to this conversation with host Dan Ambrose for John’s breakdown of a spine injury case where he secured a $5 million verdict on a $50,000 offer. At TLU Beach (June 4-7), he will teach his OSPA (Opposition Strategy Prediction Assessment) technique, showing lawyers how to anticipate defense tactics and communicate damages effectively.
