Reviews

"The Reptilian model of litigation offers the clearest explanation of how and why the defense wins by inciting irrational fear in jurors, and how the plaintiff counters these deceptive practices by helping jurors understand their role as the ultimate stewards of community safety and welfare."
—Michae Freeman, Ph.D., D.C., M.P.H.

"David Glenn of Grapevine, Texas, and I used the Reptile and Rules techniques, along with our teachings from Gerry Spence at the Trial Lawyers College in a case in Hope, Arkansas, and two weeks ago got what we believe is the largest verdict ever against a single doctor defendant in a medical malpractice case in Arkansas, $5.223  million. This is not to say we were not lucky with an outstanding set of jurors, and a wonderful trial judge, but still, the bottom line is that this stuff really works."
—Jim Keever, M.D., J.D., Texarkana TX

"On June 16, I obtained judgement on a verdict for $5.5  million... using the lessons I learned at the Reptile seminar in Atlanta back in May. Evidence showed that other companies were doing the same and I argued to the jury the community purpose behind a large verdict."
—Keith Fryer, Esq., Alpharetta GA
