If your case involves a brain injury or the death of a human, you should be asking for seven figures, right off the bat… if not eight or nine. I don't care if you're in a rural jurisdiction or not. A brain is a brain, and a life is a life. As long as your case has good facts and you're arguing it well and doing ALL the things I want you to be doing, you can get your seven- or eight- or nine-figure verdict in ANY jurisdiction. Now. Maybe you're thinking: But Sari, nobody's ever asked for seven figures in this jurisdiction! or But nobody's ever won eight figures in this jurisdiction. My question to you is: Has anyone ever fucking ASKED for those numbers? Because, y'all, this is NOT a jurisdiction issue. It's a mindset issue. Tune in to today's episode of the FHTH Podcast to find out what I mean. Enjoy!

Did you know that Arizona no longer has preemptory challenges? That means the only way for an attorney in Arizona to get someone off the jury is to go in for a cause challenge. I know this because I was working with some Arizonan clients a couple months ago and the topic came up… What we were going to DO about this? Should we really bring back the preponderance question? Now, some of y'all might be wondering what I mean by "bring back" the preponderance question. Here's the thing: I don't train attorneys to use the preponderance question in voir dire. I have a few reasons for this, and I'll be discussing them in today's episode of the FHTH podcast. Tune in to learn three myths and three truths about preponderance. Enjoy!

Quote: Sari de la Motte - "People ask me all the time, 'Well, what's your method of doing cause challenges?' I'm like, 'I don't have a method of doing cause challenges.' How the fuck do I know how to do cause challenges? That's not part of my method. Y'all been trained how to do that, so go and do it." * * * * 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.

If you're primarily talking about money in voir dire, you're essentially telling the jury that's what your case is about. And here's the problem with that… Your case is N-E-V-E-R about money. Someone has got to start changing this conversation because what you're doing has zero to do with money, and everything to do with holding bad actors accountable. Today's FHTH podcast is the recording of last month's live episode. If you missed it, listen in to find out what I want you to stop doing at trial (unless you want to tank your case). And if you were there for the live recording, here's your chance to hear it again! Enjoy!

You know they think you're a money-grabbing shark ambulance chaser that's just there for the money, that your client is not really hurt, that you're all just in it for the big bucks. And yet your response to that is to come in and make all of your voir dire about who can give money and who likes lawsuits. You've just fucking proved their point." * * * * 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.

I love y'all, but you sure take yourself too damn seriously sometimes. (*cough* most of the time) Yes, I know your work is heavy, and you deal with tough fucking shit on the daily. I am not making light of that. But, I am strongly suggesting that you practice getting out of your head a LOT more often. The best way to do that is to play more! Yes. Play.

Rewards don't work, either. So. What should you do when you want to motivate yourself? Tune in to today's episode of the FHTH podcast for the answer! Enjoy!
