"Whether on stage with a guitar or on stage in the courtoom, the mindset and approach to making an audience scream with excitment or a jury cry for your client is very much the same" he explains. "You have to engage your audience, capture their attention, and create tension and emotion." Or in the words of one of his clients: "Wow. The jury was mesmerized by you. The paralegal with the other firm was sobbing during your opening statement. I couldn't believe it. You were absolutely amazing."
