Jesse Wilson – Juries Are Persuaded by Victors, Not Victims

No matter the case, no matter the client, you need a compelling story to convince the jury to award damages. 

“You want that million dollars?” asks jury trial consultant Jesse Wilson. “Tell me the ‘try’ story. Tell me how somebody is trying to overcome their pain.” In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Jesse describes how this approach yields results. In one case he consulted on, a plaintiff who had been injured in a car wreck – and even gone back to work – got a $2.5 million settlement, after initially only being offered $80,000. 

Jesse calls his tactic the “victim-to-victor” approach, and he’ll teach it at the upcoming TLU Vegas. Those who sign up should be prepared for an interactive experience – Jesse’s a Juilliard-trained actor who borrows from his theater background so that participants will “understand and not intellectualize the process.”
