William Barton and Nicholas Rowley have tried hundreds of cases and obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. When it comes to trial, they have seen—and done—it all.
In this special presentation originally offered to customers as part of our Fireside Chat series, Bill and Nick discuss how they handle common issues in trial and answer questions from a remote audience. They go over how they use preemption in voir dire, compare Nick’s method of brutal honesty with Bill’s method of owning his fears, and discuss questions on a range of issues such as:
The importance of being honest with the jury
The value of disclosing your bad facts
How to dismantle the defense by showing how they try to use bias, prejudice, and sympathy to win
How to inoculate against bad facts
How to address tort reform with conservatives
Whether to waive economic damages
And much more
In one hour, you can learn invaluable strategies and arguments that will help you improve your case outcomes from two of America’s greatest trial lawyers.
