"So if what they want is to really be sure before they hand over this money—which again, yes, it’s not their money, but they’re in charge of it for all intents and purposes—and what they want to be able to spend it or allow it to be spent is to be sure, let’s do things that make them sure.

Most attorneys think their job is to present information to the jury. But here’s the truth: presenting isn’t enough — you NEED to perform. The best trial attorneys don’t JUST deliver a case. They OWN the courtroom, COMMAND attention, and MOVE jurors to action. Here’s what we’re covering: 💡 The four levels of trial presentation — and why most attorneys never reach the final stage. 🛑 Why writing out your opening statement could be quietly killing your persuasion. 🔥 How to stop “presenting” and start connecting with jurors so they take action. Most attorneys get stuck trying to “get it right.” But when you MASTER this approach, you STOP performing for jurors and START influencing them. Tune in now 🎧 Xo, Sari Quote: "If you think your job is just to present information to the jury, you’re already losing.

Ever found yourself scrambling to come up with voir dire questions and hoping they land Stop. Right. There. Asking, “What should I ask in voir dire?” is like asking “What turn should I take?” without knowing where you’re headed. Before you focus on the questions, you need to know the destination.

Should you talk about money in voir dire? Before you panic and say, “No way, Sari! That’s too risky!” — HEAR ME OUT. In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most controversial questions in jury selection: Should you tell jurors the number you’re asking for? Spoiler alert: I usually say yes. BUT, (and it’s a big but) HOW and WHEN you bring it up makes all the difference. Here’s what we’re covering: 💰 Why saying the number early could backfire (and when it actually works in your favor). 💰 How to get jurors to justify your number themselves — instead of rejecting it. 💰 The secret to making a big ask (I’m talking $100M+) feel completely reasonable. The truth is, most attorneys are scared to say the number. And I get it. But if you own it, if you believe it, the jury will believe it too. Xo, Sari Quote: "If it’s a huge number, like $100 million, I’m going to suggest you throw it out there—but systematically, at the right time. When you do it right, jurors don’t just accept the number, they start justifying it themselves."

Let’s talk about mindset shifts that ACTUALLY WIN TRIALS. Anna Martinez ditched the fear-driven playbook and leaned into the POWER of juror connection. The result? 🎯 A CAREER-BOOSTING WIN. In this week’s episode, Anna breaks down the H2H strategies that led her to a confident, concise, and powerful case presentation: ✨ Step 1: Make voir dire count. Anna turned the awkward Q&A into a real conversation, making jurors feel respected, heard, and ready to stand behind her client. 🧠 Step 2: Simplify, simplify, simplify. Even with a case about drainage systems (not exactly Netflix material), Anna broke it down into a compelling narrative jurors could relate to and follow with ease. 🏠 Step 3: Show, don’t just tell. Using the “Damages House” framework from the brilliant Christy Crowe Childers (or TRIPLE C 💪 as I like to call her), Anna made every loss feel tangible, real, and impossible to overlook.

🚨REALITY CHECK: Many lawyers live in what they think is fear, but let’s be honest — most of it is just manufactured worry. That’s where Gavin de Becker’s book, The Gift of Fear, comes in. He discusses the difference between real fear and everyday worries. 🗨️ “Worry is a way to avoid admitting powerlessness... it is a protection against future disappointment.” But REAL fear is different — it’s intuitive, it’s a useful signal to get yourself to safety. AND (despite what y’all seem to think) , winning your case is NOT a life-or-death situation. 🙃 When you spend hours obsessing over every possible terrifying outcome of your case, you’re wasting your precious energy. Not to mention, you are desensitizing yourself against the real fear signals that your body is evolutionarily hardwired to send. When you learn to separate the do-or-die moments from the not-so-serious ones, you gain the power to control your fear response, instead of letting it control you. Tune in to fine-tune your fear radar. 🎯 Xo, Sari PS. I want to give you a trigger warning — in this podcast, I’ll read excerpts from the book that include violent situations that can be triggering for some. If that’s not your cup of tea, I’ll see you in the next episode! ❤️ Mentions: The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker Quote: “Y’all talk about fear being a motivator, and I'm going to suggest that that is bollocks. Fear is the worst motivator in terms of the type of work that you're doing. And the author, Gavin de Becker, says that if we're scared all the time, we don't leave room for real fear to do its job when needed.” * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * * THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.
