Motive.

A big deal in criminal cases.

An even BIGGER deal in civil cases.

Yeah, I KNOW that jurors aren't required to find motive to vote your way, but that doesn't mean they don't want it. They do.

Jurors find it hard to punish "mistakes" and "accidents."

So how can we solve this as plaintiff attorneys?

Relationships of design are the most powerful relationships on earth.

This is because designing with someone else (or a group) is empowering.

But what does it mean to "design an alliance?" And how the heck do you do it with jurors?

I explain it all in this podcast episode.

In last week's podcast, you decided how you want to feel in 2021.

Happy New Year!

2020 was a doozy y'all but it's OVER! Yay!

However, that doesn't mean we aren't in for more surprises, as I'm sure you know.

That's why I have three questions for you to ask yourself as you begin your journey into 2021. I guarantee you that you'll feel more hopeful, more in control and have more clarity after going through these exercises.

Plus, we have a BRAND NEW FORMAT!

I can't wait to see what 2021 has in store for us all.
