Victim to Victor – Preparing Your Witness and Case Framing

January 20, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm MST
Victim to Victor - Preparing Your Witness and Case Framing

1-Day TTWS CLE Virtual Workshop

9:30am-4:30pm

With Communications Specialist, National Jury Trial Consultant Jesse Wilson and Nicci Unsicker, Trial Lawyer and “Tell The Winning Story” Instructor and Consultant

Telling The Right Story In Trial Is Knowing Who Your Client Really Is... and How Your Jurors Need To See Them

When it comes to trial, most plaintiffs and defendants will painfully cast themselves in the wrong role they believe the jury needs to see them as. Why? Because they are “the victims.”

This is the wrong role and that’s 100% on you – the director, storyteller, producer, trial lawyer – to cast your client in the right role. That role is always as the victor.

Being “stuck in the wrong role” will often be the difference between winning and losing your case.

Your job is to remove the mask for who your client really is at their core. When you do this, in turn you remove your own mask for who your jurors need to see you as, and you set up a more powerful damage model. Don’t get caught in the Victim Trap yourself…it’s easier than you think.

Together, Jesse Wilson and Nicci Unsicker will introduce you to cutting edge techniques (such as The 4 Steps of The Stage and The Crossroad) from Wilson’s book “Witness Preparation: How To Tell The Winning Story.”
