Every time, he ambushes the opponents

Article Abstract:

Medical malpractice specialist Thomas A Moore feels that the chances of winning a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor or hospital have decreased considerably since the mid-1990s, and that plaintiffs' lawyers are fighting the idea that malpractice lawsuits are the bane of the medical profession and are driving doctors to leave it. This climate seems, however, to have had little effect on Moore's record at trial, which includes 63 verdicts of $1 mil or more and 200 settlements in the same range. He opens all cases with the theme that this was an avoidable tragedy and tells the story of the case in chronological order.

Organize complex claims clearly; until he pared it down, the plaintiffs' case in Kodak 'was a shotgun complaint.' (Maxwell M. Blecher)(Winning: Successful Strategies from 10 of the Nation's Top Litigators)

Article Abstract:

Antitrust plaintiff lawyer Maxwell M Blecher pared down the list of complaints 11 independent service companies filed against Eastman Kodak, paving the way for a $71.85 million verdict. With a strategy that focused on Kodak's refusal to make repair parts available, and the impact that had on consumers and the outside service companies, he also laid the groundwork for defending on appeal. A long and detail-laden opening statement included many visual aids, while the most valuable documents got repeated exposure.

Soft-pedal approach in injury cases; 'Spencer Hicks deserved a lot of sympathy,' she told the jury. 'But that doesn't mean he deserves money

Article Abstract:

Products liability defense litigator Deborah C Stevens defeated Honda Motor against an $80 million demand in 1995, despite an enormously likable plaintiff. She emphasized the importance of liability while admitting great sympathy, and used a short opening and closing. A motorcycle like the one in the claim proved the most valuable witness by demonstrating why the injured boy should not have been a passenger, and Stevens showed he had ignored his parents and was unlikely to obey a written warning.
