Mike Karp was always inspired by the winning trial lawyers he met at Trial Lawyers University . It didn’t take him long to join their ranks. He’s tried four cases to verdict and was named “Outstanding Young Trial Lawyer” by the plaintiff’s bar in Wisconsin in 2024. “It’s nice to win awards, and it's nice to get big verdicts, but I'm proud of just making progress every day and being a better trial lawyer,” Mike tells host Dan Ambrose . Tune in for a look back at Mike’s fast-tracked career and ahead at his April trial on behalf of an injured motorcyclist. For those attending TLU Beach this June, Mike will teach case framing and premises cases. This spring, Mike will launch “The Climb,” a podcast featuring conversations with young, successful trial lawyers, colleagues, and mentors. They’ll zoom in on the fine points of practicing – from case framing to trial strategy – and zoom out on the high-level thinking that resonates with jurors.

For Mike, attending TLU in 2021 “opened up my mind to a whole new universe of how to approach being a lawyer.” Mike describes his four trials, starting with the first that he tried shortly after attending TLU. State Farm offered nothing to his injured client. The jury awarded $160,000. When a city garbage truck crashed into a woman’s first-floor apartment, Mike thought he’d solve the matter quickly with a call to the city attorney. In fact, litigation dragged on for a year and a half. He won a jury verdict of $50,000. For a client who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury after a car accident, Mike won a jury award of $1.5 million for past pain and suffering and $2 million for future pain and suffering. For six years, Mike worked on a slip-and-fall case on behalf of an elderly client who had a history of slip-and-fall injuries. The jury deliberated for 45 minutes and returned with a $12 million verdict. In April, Mike will represent a motorcyclist who suffered injuries after hitting a pothole that had existed for some time.

Patrick Kang lost a toxic mold case back in 2023. “It was the best thing to ever happen to me,” he says. As Patrick explains to host Dan Ambrose , he leveraged the lessons learned in that defeat to secure victories in the cases that followed. Recently, he tried another toxic mold case. This time, he won $6.6 million for his client. Patrick and the team at Ace Law Group will break down that case on February 12. Click here to register.

Patrick’s first job out of law school was for a civil litigation firm in Las Vegas, which promoted him to the city’s Korean community. Patrick eventually left that firm to join two colleagues in launching their own firm. After that venture ended, he started his own firm, now called Ace Law Group . For years, Ace Law Group focused on employment law; in January 2024, the firm tried its first sexual harassment case and won a $1.49 million verdict. TLU On Demand is powerful, but it’s not enough. Patrick says this from experience: At last year’s TLU Vegas, he connected with winning trial lawyers in person. That was a game-changer. Patrick has learned how to explain mold poisoning to a jury from trying such cases over the years. The best way, he suggests, is to describe it like an autoimmune disease. A favorite moment in his recent mold case was when Patrick showed that the apartment landlord knew the building had a history of mold problems. To do so, he presented 30-plus leak complaints on a black board, each work order identified by a red-flagged toothpick. Produced and Powered by LawPods…
Dan Ambrose invites a Michigan colleague to discuss lessons learned from the TLU suite of programs and his upcoming TLU case analysis. Jason Waechter , known as the “Motorcycle Lawyer,” won $27 million on behalf of a motorcyclist whose leg was amputated below the knee after being hit by a distracted driver. Jason outlines the challenges he faced, including that his client had smoked pot while riding the cycle, as well as strategies that he leveraged from TLU during the case. On March 19, he’ll break it all down for a TLU webinar. Register here. Train and Connect with the Titans ☑️ Jason Waechter I LinkedIn I Instagram I Facebook ☑️ Law Offices of Jason A.

Opening day for the Detroit Tigers and 60 days before he officially became a lawyer, Jason tried a case in federal bankruptcy court. He lost but recovered and moved on. In 2016, Jason attended the Trojan Horse seminar, a precursor to Dan’s TLU Bootcamp series. He still remembers the skilled lawyers sharing their knowledge. He also remembers, for the first time, watching videotapes of his own presentations, which revealed that he spoke too quickly and had “alligator” arms. In 2022, Jason represented a motorcyclist who was left an amputee after being struck by a distracted driver. Battling a big firm that initially offered $5 million, Jason leveraged big data to show the true value of the case. Jason deviated from the “10 Commandments” of cross-examination, which allowed him to get a defense expert to agree to his client’s non-economic damages. He ultimately won a $27 million verdict. In voir dire for that case, Jason borrowed from renowned personal injury lawyer Brian Panish, who teaches the eight key questions that plaintiffs’ lawyers should ask jurors in a short timeframe. Jason has his new associate study TLU On Demand educational webinars and report back on how he will apply the skills on a case. Produced and Powered by LawPods…

A frequent participant in the TLU suite of educational courses, Ryan encourages lawyers to take advantage of programs like TLU On Demand . “One of the things that I've kind of always done is set aside time for learning,” Ryan says.

How “The Reptile,” by Don Keenan and David Ball, influenced Ryan as a personal injury lawyer. Ryan’s participation at a “Welcome to the Revolution” deposition seminar led him to a partnership with Don Keenan. An early trucking case taught Ryan that trucking crashes are not the same as car accidents. Dan explains why it’s important for lawyers to learn acting skills: The greatest skill of a trial lawyer is to transport the audience, and “you can't transport somebody else until you can transport yourself.” Ryan discusses key takeaways from TLU Skills Bootcamp in November, including the art of making eye contact with the jury. Borrowing from trial lawyer and former boxer Przemek Lubecki, Dan outlines the three “spheres of performance”: the conscious mind, the unconscious mind, and confidence. What a course on psychodrama taught Ryan about role-reversal and listening skills. Why Ryan swears by the skills he learns from TLU On Demand . Produced and Powered by LawPods…

Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP , Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose . In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm’s efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California’s Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred. As Spencer explains, it’s less about the monetary results and more about shining a light on institutions that covered up abuse. “It’s been incredibly satisfying for me as a lawyer to be a part of this awareness,” he says.

Robert S. Glassman ’s client was driving a motorcycle over the posted speed limit when a city truck cut in front of him from a side street. In the ensuing crash, the cyclist was injured. On this episode of Trial Lawyers University , hear how Robert presented the facts about his client’s speeding during jury selection to weed out jurors who didn’t think they could be impartial when deciding who was to blame for the accident. Robert also shares how he relied on the testimony of an expert witness to prove that – even if his client had been going the posted speed limit – the accident still would have occurred, and the injuries would have been the same. Ultimately, the jury found that Robert’s client was speeding, but that the city truck was to blame for the accident. The verdict: $11 million to Robert’s client.

After years of settling cases out of court, Mike Morse represented the parents of a college student who died at a friend’s house when he took a high dose of “molly,” or MDMA, that he was told was Adderall.

Tearing up when the student’s parents told him the story, Mike agreed to take the case. But he hadn’t tried a case before a jury in 15 years, so he hired a jury consultant and coach and began listening to recordings, through Trial Lawyers University , of attorneys explaining how they won their cases.
