What Legal Leaders Are Saying
— David Ball, Ph.D., author of David Ball on DamagesTrial Guides again trumps the big guys. In this continuing era of ‘tort-reformed’ jurors, the hard lesson is that the old ways no longer work, and we need something else. So we invent new things. But no less important is the precious trove of Moe Levine’s ways. What he did and taught way back then is dead-on what we need now. How so prescient? He dwelled at the intersection of mind and heart, the place that determines the outcome of every case. And he teaches you how to live there, too.
— Dennis Donnelly, immediate past president of the Inner Circle of AdvocatesOnly a handful of plaintiff’s trial lawyers have managed to claw their way to the mountaintop of full justice over and over again; only to come back down and share the secrets of their success with their colleagues. Moe Levine was one, and it is fitting that Don Keenan, another titan and teacher, should write the introduction for the most complete collection of Moe Levine’s teachings ever published. Trial lawyers everywhere can now stand on the shoulders of two giants of the plaintiff’s trial bar.
— Rick Friedman, author of Rules of the Road, Polarizing the Case, and Becoming a Trial Lawyer. Member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and recipient of the 2004 Steven J. Sharp awardA trial lawyer who has not read Moe Levine is like a poet who has not read Shakespeare. You may get the job done, but you are missing out on joy and inspiration—and are not truly educated. In the past, lawyers have had to search through used book stores and libraries for bits and pieces of the wisdom Moe shared with his contemporaries. Trial Guides has pulled it all together in one book that you will return to again and again.

Levine really cares for people
"Levine really cares for people = a rare thing making him a truly great attorney"
Inspiring
"Brilliant ideas on how to communicate with your jurors."
Always Learn from the Best
"The measure of damage is not what you take from a man, but what you leave him with. Used it in closing the other day. Judge and even Defense counsel told me it was good."
Excellent. Mr. Levine was brilliant
"Excellent. Mr. Levine was brilliant and very perceptive in his approach."
Moe Levine on Advocacy
"Just received the book and have read through intro. Looks like it will be very helpful to my practice."
Awesome Book!
"This book should be required reading for any new lawyer. The concepts are still applicable today. I am in fact now applying concepts learned in this book to ongoing cases."
Great read
"Great read"
Interesting speeches, but not much practical advice
"This is an ode to Moe Levine and you get from the speeches that he was a successful lawyer. But, the language is so antiquated and dense, that I did not find it useful. For that kind of money, if you're looking to improve your practice - it would be much better to invest in a book from Friedman or Mitnik."
Good purchase
"I was not familiar with Moe Levine until I attended a few of the Trial Guides CLEs. Great purchase. East to read and full of things statements and ideas that I fully intend to utilize in my next trial."
