"Ok, Sari, I now get how important voir dire is, but what do I cover if I only have limited time?" This. This is what you cover whether you have all the time in the world (put it at the end!) or limited time. What is "this?"

Do we want to piss the jury off in opening?  Hells, yeah, we do. I mean, not through an overly long and boring opening (that definitely pisses them off) but by showing that what the defendant did was AVOIDABLE. There are two things you MUST have locked down to get a verdict for your client. I discuss those things and how to get to the piss off point in your case in this episode. You do not want to...

I preach self-love. Here at H2H we're loving ourselves to better lives.  But is it possible to be TOO kind to yourself? I mean if we accept ourselves "as is" we won't ever want to change, right? WRONG. And if you think -I'm- wrong about that, you're probably buying into the three myths I blow out of the water in this podcast episode.

I'm giving up. I know, I know, you're NEVER supposed to give up, right? That's what winners do! WE NEVER GIVE UP! Yeah, that's a load of bullshit. (Or a loaf of bullshit, as I originally typed it.

Preponderance. More likely than not. 51 vs. 49 percent. No matter how you slice it, jurors don't get the concept of a lower burden of proof, and even if they did, they're still going to require you prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt" anyway. So what's an attorney to do? Check out this podcast for my [evolving] thoughts on the matter. * * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * * * LET THE JURY SOLVE YOUR P...

When I tell my clients their case is good, a look of horror comes over their face. "What? Don't say that!" Um. This is a problem.

In this Bonus Episode, we talk about why "time management" is impossible. Look, it's the start of a new year.. The time of crime and punishment. You know, we did the crime (over eat, over drink, over slept) in December, so now it's time for punishment. Strict diets, sober January, crazy-ass schedules to get us "back on track." I call bull***t. Time to do something different. I offer you a  new app...

Exactly one year ago today I received my breast cancer diagnosis. A few months later I'd also learn I had thyroid cancer, and then need foot surgery and end the year with gall bladder removal. I'm running out of organs, y'all. But when I think about 2021 my overwhelming emotion is one of gratitude. 2021 was the best fucking year of my entire life. Really. I'll let you why in this podcast.
