In this 90-minute voir dire and opening statement video, lawyers Eric Fong and Ben Wells will share some of the strategies they’ve used to get historic verdicts and earn awards and widespread recognition as cutting edge, nationally respected, and feared trial attorneys.

Fong and Wells will discuss their strategies for:
- trial preparation
- theories and themes
- voir dire techniques and formulas

Eric Fong is a trial lawyer with an impressive career with over a hundred cases tried to a verdict. Some of his landmark cases include the creation of the constitutional right of intimate association in Washington State, where Fong protected the rights of low-income housing residents against oppressive “crime control” measures. He obtained the largest compensatory verdict in Washington State history, $91,000,000. With cases ranging from murder to white-collar crime, and medical malpractice to toxic fume cases, few lawyers can match Fong’s breadth of experience in various fields of law. Eric Fong is a frequent lecturer at the Trial Lawyers College and has held leadership positions with several well-known legal organizations.
Ben Wells has devoted over twenty-five years of his life to the representation of people who have been injured physically, emotionally, or financially by the negligence or malpractice of others. He has handled nearly a thousand cases during his career. And although a vast majority were injury cases, he has also represented people who have been victimized by the malpractice of professionals or from criminal acts such as assault or sexual abuse. His recent results include several multimillion-dollar jury verdicts and settlements.

Reviews
So many things!
"What were your key takeaways from the program? So many things! The strategy for developing outline for opening was awesome. I was really struck by how they both practiced what they preached. Their own interactions with each other, with Jessica, and with the questioners were so kind and validating that it really led credence to everything they were saying. Loved the combo. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? The beginning was a little slow, I thought, maybe just a little too much spirituality talk."
