Sagi Shaked - Inside the TBI Case: How to Spot, Build, and Win Brain Injury Lawsuits
Your client didn’t lose consciousness? Then your client doesn’t have a traumatic brain injury. At least, that’s what the defense will say. Don’t let them brainwash you.

He has focused on “proving up” these invisible-type of injuries for years, securing seven- and eight-figure verdicts along the way. At TLU Beach (June 4-7), Sagi will teach his methodical approach to TBI cases, from identifying subtle symptoms that others miss to building compelling evidence that resonates with jurors.

Daniel Rodriguez – From Cotton Picker to Grape Picker to Toiling in the Vineyards of Justice!
When you frame a case around negligence, you'll likely get a modest verdict or none at all. But when you reframe it as a story of betrayal, the jury's desire for retribution can dramatically increase your award—a strategy that helped Daniel Rodriguez secure a $35 million Iowa verdict, the state's largest motor vehicle crash verdict in history. In conversation with host Dan Ambrose , Daniel shares his approach to long-form opening statements using chapter-based storytelling, his techniques for building rapport with witnesses, and his powerful case-framing methods learned from David Clark. Countering conventional wisdom that openings should be brief, Daniel reveals why his openings run 75 to 120 minutes and how this structure transforms outcomes.

Spencer Lucas – Pursuing Justice for Sexual Abuse Survivors, Securing $135 Million
Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP , Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose . In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm’s efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California’s Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred. As Spencer explains, it’s less about the monetary results and more about shining a light on institutions that covered up abuse. “It’s been incredibly satisfying for me as a lawyer to be a part of this awareness,” he says.

He will share more for TLU: on October 1, he’ll break down the case with the $13.2 million verdict, a challenging one because his client didn't seek treatment for the first time until two weeks after the crash that injured her. On October 14 for TLU, he’ll analyze a wrongful death car accident case that will have gone to trial just the prior week.

Robert Glassman — How Leveling with Jurors Helped Win an $11 Million Verdict
Robert S. Glassman ’s client was driving a motorcycle over the posted speed limit when a city truck cut in front of him from a side street. In the ensuing crash, the cyclist was injured. On this episode of Trial Lawyers University , hear how Robert presented the facts about his client’s speeding during jury selection to weed out jurors who didn’t think they could be impartial when deciding who was to blame for the accident. Robert also shares how he relied on the testimony of an expert witness to prove that – even if his client had been going the posted speed limit – the accident still would have occurred, and the injuries would have been the same. Ultimately, the jury found that Robert’s client was speeding, but that the city truck was to blame for the accident. The verdict: $11 million to Robert’s client.

David Christensen – Growing and Finding New Ways to Copy the Masters
“I've always had a ‘presenter mode’… I’m ‘presenting’ to a jury,” says David Christensen . Then, he and his team at Christensen Law attended a TLU bootcamp about forming relationships instead. They put the strategies – eye contact, slower speech, and other “micro-communication” techniques – to work at a recent trial. “It was palpable. I could feel the difference,” he tells host Dan Ambrose , founder of TLU. Next month, it will be David’s turn to teach. At TLU Vegas , he’ll break down an unusual case in which he sued a gas station for not calling 9-1-1 fast enough when a mentally ill man was killed at the site by a homeless man. In this episode, David and Dan put their teaching skills to work as they role-play the cross-examination of a doctor as a paid expert witness. Dan guides the lesson into techniques like asking leading questions, “looping” – establishing a fact and repeating that fact in the next question – and refocusing: “Doctor, here’s my question…” Train and Connect with the Titans ☑️ David Christensen | LinkedIn | Email ☑️ Christensen Law | LinkedIn | Instagram | X | YouTube ☑️ TLU VEGAS ☑️ Trial Lawyers University ☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos ☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | <a href="http

Mike Morse — Securing $75 Million in Wrongful Death Poisoning Case
After years of settling cases out of court, Mike Morse represented the parents of a college student who died at a friend’s house when he took a high dose of “molly,” or MDMA, that he was told was Adderall. The young man’s friends videotaped him and posted videos to Snapchat of him struggling under the effects of the drug, but they didn’t call for help until after he died. Tearing up when the student’s parents told him the story, Mike agreed to take the case. But he hadn’t tried a case before a jury in 15 years, so he hired a jury consultant and coach and began listening to recordings, through Trial Lawyers University , of attorneys explaining how they won their cases. Listen as Mike describes how he picked a jury, tried the case, and secured $75 million.

As Sean explains to host Dan Ambrose , their research made it clear that lawyers should reject the notion that jury trials are risky because “you never know what a jury is going to do… I think juried behavior is very predictable.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Sean recounts the genesis of JuryBall , his recent $24.6 million verdict in a med-mal case, and the tracks he’ll teach at TLU VEGAS .

Joe Fried – Embracing the TLU Platform to Teach Trucking Law
For Joe Fried of Fried Goldberg LLC , two upcoming cases offer a great opportunity to share his insight as a founder of truck accident law. That’s what he’ll do at TLU VEGAS . In this detailed preview, Joe joins host Dan Ambrose to highlight the cases: one on behalf of a brain-injured client and another on behalf of a child run over by an Amazon delivery van. He’ll teach the “speed trial” technique that he plans to leverage in the TBI case, calling a summary witness to sum up the complicated medical testimony in about an hour. His session on the “Amazonation” of trucking will guide plaintiffs’ attorneys on the nuances of different Amazon cases. Tune in for more about his strategies, including a few that some may disagree with, like this one: “I've given up feeling the need to teach medical school every time I have an injury.” Are you a truck accident attorney?

Rahul Ravipudi – Injured Client, Signed Waiver, $46 Million Verdict
The beginning jiu-jitsu student had signed a waiver to take lessons; that much was clear. Also clear, tragically so, was that the young man suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury while sparring with his jiu-jitsu instructor. Plaintiffs’ attorney Rahul Ravipudi and his team moved, successfully, to get the waiver deemed unenforceable. That was one early strategy that Rahul describes to host Dan Ambrose . In voir dire, the team carefully deselected jurors who may have had biases about engaging in risky activities like martial arts. An expert witness proved powerful: A member of the founding family of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he not only explained best practices to the jury but also demonstrated them – on Rahul.

Sach Oliver – Turning Early Losses into a Methodology for Success
“It wasn't all so sunny and shiny early on, taking those hits,” Sach Oliver says about his early trial losses. To get back up, he broke down his failures to make sure he’d never repeat them. The result is a methodology for success that Sach describes in Depositions Are Trial , his new book that he will teach at TLU Vegas . In a preview with host Dan Ambrose , Sach highlights foundational elements of his techniques – starting with the art of establishing the timeline in depositions because, as he’s learned, jurors find timelines influential. From physical strategies – like scouting out the courtroom before trial to prepare for setting up displays – to verbal strategies – like telling the client’s story so it sticks in jurors’ minds – Sach outlines the lessons he’s learned and is eager to share.

Michael Alder - Don’t Fear Obstacles in Your Case. They’re a Gift
When Michael Alder ’s client goes to trial, she will face what Michael believes is the number one type of discrimination today: weight.

In this dispute over liability, Michael will leverage the skills and strategies he’s developed as a top personal injury lawyer in California. With host Dan Ambrose , Michael describes how this challenging case demonstrates his trial strategies: attacking sensitive issues head-on, being honest, and turning a bad situation into a good one. Tune in to learn more about his philosophy, and be ready for a few bad jokes. After all, finding success in the courtroom is like telling a lot of bad jokes.

Randall Sorrels – Foiling a “Nuclear Verdict Defense” to Win $353 Million
Struck on an airport tarmac by a fueling vehicle, the United Airlines worker suffered catastrophic injuries. “The worst-hurt person I've ever seen in my life,” recalled his lawyer, Randall Sorrels . When Randall sued the fueling vehicle company and its driver, he faced a high-powered defense firm, and a famous defense lawyer, that sought to keep the verdict low by using a so-called “nuclear verdict defense.” To host Dan Ambrose , Randall reveals how he and his law firm partner and wife, Alex, foiled the attack. Relying on a blend of strategy (putting the defendant’s corporate representative as the first witness), smart advice (listening to a jury consultant who advised him to keep a juror he wanted to strike), and a little luck (finding a mock juror who had sat through the defense’s mock trial), they transformed a lowball offer of $5 million into a jury verdict of $353 million.

Randi McGinn – Being a Trial Lawyer Is Storytelling on Steroids

For example, in the semi-trailer manufacturer case, she took jurors back in time some 50 years when a famous actress died in disturbingly similar circumstances as her client’s son.

Jesse Wilson – Juries Are Persuaded by Victors, Not Victims
No matter the case, no matter the client, you need a compelling story to convince the jury to award damages. “You want that million dollars?” asks jury trial consultant Jesse Wilson . “Tell me the ‘try’ story. Tell me how somebody is trying to overcome their pain.” In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose , Jesse describes how this approach yields results. In one case he consulted on, a plaintiff who had been injured in a car wreck – and even gone back to work – got a $2.5 million settlement, after initially only being offered $80,000. Jesse calls his tactic the “victim-to-victor” approach, and he’ll teach it at the upcoming TLU Vegas .
