From Hostage To Hero

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.

❗NEWSFLASH – instructing the jurors to put a value on non-economic damages is like asking someone to build a piece of IKEA furniture without the instruction manual.

Jurors are practically BEGGING you for a formula, and without guidance, they often feel resigned to the task well before deliberation even begins.

**THE DAMAGES HOUSE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**

🏠 The Damages House is a powerful visual approach that organizes each of your state’s jury charges into “rooms” in a house, providing jurors with a clear and logical foundation for your non-economic damages ask.

🤔 AND WHO, you ask, is the MASTERMIND behind this strategy?

My brilliant friend, coach here at H2H, a leading lady in trucking law, and soon-to-be published author, it’s none other than...

• “By giving them this framework, we're creating juror epiphanies within themselves. So, I'm going to give them a house and put each category of non-economic damages in the same size rooms and then let the jurors decide which rooms are supposed to be bigger. And so, they're using it as language to trade and make rooms bigger or smaller, and of course that correlates with dollars.”

Ever wonder what happens when someone learns the H2H Method on a Friday... and then walks into jury selection on Monday and crushes it? 😳

Meet Frank Fratello, a trial attorney who took what he learned at my voir dire training at TLU and turned it into a jaw-dropping $2.1 MILLION verdict.

And trust me, this case had everything stacked against him — no visible injuries, a plaintiff who looked too healthy, AND a pre-trial million-dollar offer that most would’ve grabbed.

But Frank said, "Nope. Let’s dance."

In this episode, Frank breaks down how he:

✅ Used the H2H Method to win over the jury ✅ Navigated tricky voir dire moments (including a very bold DVAQ move) ✅ Stayed calm under pressure when things went sideways

It’s RAW, it’s REAL, and it’s a masterclass in trusting your jurors — and yourself.
