Ep. 179 - Why You Need to Talk to the Jury After You Lose
Whenever a client loses a case (it happens!) I always ask, “Did you talk to the jury?” And in MOST cases my client sheepishly says, “No….” Ma dudes. You’ve GOT to talk to the jury after a loss (or a win, for that matter) but the reason goes way beyond getting a critique of your performance. Not talking to the jury costs you in more ways than one.
