Overall rating: 4.888889 / 5 from 18 reviews.
Review topics: ["information","approach","injury","ideas","work"].
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Hard work beats talent; subject matter expertise is essential to success and legal education is a life long pursuit and the key to victory. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? The medicine was basic for me but I appreciate why it was important to share this with the audience."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? No substitute for hard work. There is a right and wrong way of doing things. The insurance has a system that you need to understand in order to beat them at their own game. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? They were all valuable."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? A cohesive approach to practice. So often CLE's and conferences are a mishmash of styles and disjointed topics. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? I found value in all of them, but the least applicable to my practice was in regards to high volume practices. (AI demands, etc)."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? I need to start trying cases. Learned a ton about how to represent all my clients more effectively. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? The medical information was like drinking from a firehose. I know I need to know more, but I felt like I could not absorb much at that pace."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Strive to fully understand your client's injuries; write demand letters with your audience (i. e. the insurer) in mind and based on the tools the carrier uses to evaluate your demand. Create a hybrid approach that works for you in trial. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? A bit too much time was spent on anatomy in the first day."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? I'm a new lawyer and avid Trial Guides reader. I will go to any Portland Trial Guides seminar. Learning what I need to learn was the biggest takeaway. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? Everything was valuable. Just amazing."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Great strategy for litigation cases and prepping for trial. Useful information on demand letters and the actual injuries. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? None."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Start to finish on Personal Injury cases. Good ideas on closing and non econ. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? I’m new to PI so this was very helpful."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Demand letter writing and setting up 3rd party bad faith. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? Injury anatomy because I consider that one of my stronger areas."
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Beef up demands. Learn how to be a great trial lawyer. Ask for help. Hire out. Study your craft. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? None."
