What's the value of a Blockbuster Opening?
Legendary trial lawyer Mark Lanier delivers blockbuster openings to jurors who have awarded $20 billion in verdicts.
Other successful trial lawyers pay trial consultants $20,000+ a day to make their openings stand out.
What's the value if you gain the skills yourself to create a blockbuster that persuades your jurors? Or equally as important, how much do you leave on the table if you don't?
