Legal Storytelling

Your facts are more persuasive if they're packaged as a story.

Your client is depending on you to fight for them and walk away with a victory. You know your facts, but do you know how to organize them into a narrative? You’re standing up and speaking, but are you coming across as natural and conversational?

​

David will show you how.

​

He has worked with hundreds of lawyers for 15 years, showing them how to find the most intuitive case story buried in the evidence and tell it with confidence. Cases prevail when guided by David's story insights, and his training programs produce skilled storytelling advocates who win.

"Working with David on story development is an invaluable part of our case workup and gives us a tremendous edge over the other side. By the time trial depositions start we have such a good working story for the case that they are at a distinct disadvantage."
