I grew up in Birmingham, MI. I am the youngest of eight children and attended an all-boys catholic school my whole life until I went to college at the University of Michigan. I went to night school at Detroit College of Law. My dad, my uncle, two of my brothers, and sister were lawyers. My first job was cutting lawns at age 10.I started working for my brother as a house painter at age 12. When I was 16 I started my own painting business and continued throughout high school, college, and law school, and a few years after until I was 32.

I practiced criminal defense for eighteen years in Michigan until ten years ago when my roommate from the Trial Lawyers College, Nick Rowley, encouraged me to move to LA to become a PI lawyer. The California Bar took me four tries. I moved to Las Vegas this last March. I have recently taken up pickle ball, skiing and golf. I also think I'm competitive at connect four, backgammon, chess, and ping pong.

Telling a Great story is very different than writing one. Great storytellers are masters of connection. They know how to create illusions, also known as creating space so the listener experiences the story. If there is a verb, there is action and must be movement or you are stuck in the boring narrative. To master connection in the context of opening statement you must master the micro skills of connection; appropriate eye-contact, facial expression control, voice control, hand/body movement, your voice, glance control, and precise use of visuals.

The core skills of cross examination are; one new fact per question, looping, dropping filler words like “and, um, so” etc., dropping tag lines like “right, correct, isn’t it true” using the present tense, delivering dialogue to the jury, effectively using visuals/flip chart, using your hand to control the pace of witness’s answers, and emotional control. I will demonstrate these skills and show you how to acquire them.
