Lawyers love to argue

I suspect that doesn't surprise you

But it may surprise you that some lawyers also get physical.

· Like that time a lawyer had it out for me and threw me against the wall

· What would you do with your back literally up against the wall?

· And a hostile lawyer screaming in your face.

Would you retaliate?

Just what would you do?

I CREATED TRUST……

Suppose trust of opposing counsel was a helper and not a hurter in
a case.

What if there was a way that developed trust that counteracts every one of the things that I've talked to you about up to now,

· trust that lessens your caseload

· trust that lessens the amount of time that you have to put into a case,

· trust that creates opportunities for you to resolve the case

· Trust that creates no motion work.

· Trust that doesn't risk appeals.

· Trust that leads to mediations that resolve your case.

· That means killing your adversary softly

· Killing your adversary with kindness.

Where does Mediation live?

You may find that question a bit odd.

But it really is not.

Mediation lives in its own time zone.

Its own twilight zone.

Not total reality. Not total fantasy.

The lines are blurred.

A time of endless possibilities.

A good mediator works in this zone.

And crafts a good resolution.

It may surprise you to learn:

➤ that blurred moment between desire and reality, a moment that seems as if it hangs for a lifetime, holds the promise of a good resolution

➤ that through mediation, you actually create the future of your case

➤ Mediation is less about reality than about vision. And vision can be a good thing.

Are trial lawyers modern day gamblers?

Does gambling play a role in a successful mediation?

My intent was to explore the relationship between a gamblers mentality, love of competition, and the role of a lawyer in the personal injury field.

Is it ever appropriate to gamble with your clients case?

Shouldn't you only be gambling with your own money and not that of others?

As I was preparing, the Trump-Zelenskyy Oval Office "mediation" fell apart.

• Then I heard Trump say: "You are gambling with your peoples lives" and "You are gambling with World War III. Then he told Zelenskyy he did not have the cards to play.

At that moment, I knew this podcast was going to touch something relevant to many cases and the attorneys who do personal injury.

• I understood the gambling mentality. Shucks, I struggled with it myself in the day.

The first part of the episode deals with the analysis of the smart approach to risk taking in a case and how mediation can address that.

The second part of the episode gives my analysis of what happened at the meeting/mediation. What went wrong, and discusses whether it can be fixed.

Preventing war is a noble cause. The stakes are high. But the reality is that what we do in the claims field is just as important to our clients.

We should never gamble on an outcome with our clients money.

Do you ever wonder why: "If the world is changing at breakneck speed, why does nothing ever change for me?".

Are you constantly reminded that forgetting history means you are doomed to repeat it?

I was reminded about that last night.

I have a theory that history favors continuity. Want to know what it is?

➤ History does not favor change.

➤History itself will fight back against significant change because it is stubborn.

Until you embrace the concept of change and take action to create the environment for change to proliferate, you and your business will stagnate.

When you embrace the change, you will enjoy a manageable caseload and more dinners with your family.

Let's learn together how you can streamline your caseload in...
