People always ask me: "How do I get big verdicts using the H2H Method?" Well… this episode breaks it down. No fluff. Just the real, step-by-step story of how I used H2H to help secure an 8-figure verdict in a REAL case. From the very FIRST consult to the moment the jury DELIVERED the verdict — this is exactly what went down. In this episode, I walk you through: 👉🏽 What I focused on FIRST (before strategy, before storytelling) 👉🏽 The moment we THREW the closing in the trash (and what we did instead) 👉🏽 How we MADE the jury feel — not just think 👉🏽 Why “we don’t win cases, jurors do” has NEVER been more TRUE If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at how the H2H Method plays out in the wild, this is it. You’re closer than you think. Tune in NOW! 🎧 Love, Sari Quote: “We didn’t win because we had the perfect theme or the flashiest visuals. We won because we trusted the jury. We built a story that made them feel something, we showed up as our full selves, and then we got the hell out of the way. That’s the work. That’s H2H.” —Sari de la Motte Can't get enough of me?

Waiting to feel confident before stepping into court is like waiting to get in shape BEFORE hitting the gym. Cute idea, but that’s not how this works.

Let’s be real… life’s heavy right now. Trial? Even heavier. So I’m bringing back one of MY favorite episodes… Because we could all use a reminder that joy is part of the job 💖 Yep, I said it: If you’re not having fun at trial, you’re doing it wrong. ⚖️ Trial is serious. 💗 Trial is emotional. 🎢 Trial is a rollercoaster. But most importantly… It SHOULD be fun too! You can be a badass in the courtroom and have a good time doing it. It does NOT have to be one or the other. Come back to what made you love this work in the first place. Love, Sari 💖 Quote: “When I say have fun at trial, I don’t mean act like it’s a joke. I mean be in it—fully. Let yourself feel the fear, the pride, the anger, the joy. That’s what fun really is. It’s not clowning around. It’s being alive in the courtroom.” — Sari de la Motte Can't get enough of me?

Bringing back one of the MOST popular debriefs EVER on my podcast. Scott Maucere had a complex securities fraud case — three state laws, seven claims, and 11 defendants. And he shaped it into a sharp and simple story the jury didn’t JUST understand… they BELIEVED in it. And yes… he brought a pink piggy bank into court, pulled out a hammer and made the jury GASP. 🐷 Verdict? $2M, including $1M in punitives. Here’s what Scott shares: 👉🏽 HOW he distilled a legal jungle into 3 simple jury rules — so clear they quoted them back in closing. 👉🏽 WHY trying to “persuade” the jury is the wrong move — and what actually works. 👉🏽 WHAT happened when he pulled out a hammer and made the jury gasp. 👉🏽 HOW honest voir dire, designed alliance, and a COVID delay turned strangers into a team. 👉🏽 WHY giving up your “brilliant ideas” might be your smartest move. This episode is PACKED with heart, strategy, and proof that fun and truth still WIN in trial. Love, Sari 💖 Quote: “You don’t have to be a magician. You don’t have to persuade people that lying is wrong. You just have to give the jury the truth and let them act. I went in with three simple rules: tell the truth, don’t cover things up, and if you do—make it right. We treated the jury with respect, let go of control, and they showed up every single day, even after COVID delays, because they wanted to do the right thing.” — Scott Maucere Can't get enough of me?

Ever walked out of a courtroom feeling defeated and thought, "Maybe I'm not as great as I hoped?" I know you’ve been there. But I want you to remember: 🌟 GREATNESS ISN'T DEFINED BY A VERDICT. 🌟 It’s defined by what you consistently choose to do: 🤝 You show up overprepared — not because you have to, but because you care. 🤝 You don’t just fight uphill battles, you run toward them. 🤝 You turn heartbreak into fuel. Every. Damn. Time. And it's THOSE choices — day after day, trial after trial — that prove your greatness beyond doubt. In this week's episode, I'm handing you undeniable proof that you're already fucking GREAT, and that you don’t need a verdict to prove it. All that's left is for YOU to believe it. 🎧 Hit play now and shut that inner critic up for good.

Yeah, I turned 50 three years ago... BUT. Everything I said back then? Still true. Maybe truer.

Here, it meant that your verdict is a statement about mental health and addiction issues. When you communicate that clearly, it resonates with the jury and builds trust. It transforms a trial into a message that can change the way we view mental health care and substance abuse treatment." — Sari de la Motte * * * * JOIN US FOR COMMAND THE COURTROOM: 2-DAY IN-PERSON OPENING MASTERCLASS WITH SARI DE LA MOTTE * * * * 🗓️ Date: June 2nd - 3rd, 2025 👑 Train, LIVE, with Sari 📍Location: H2H Headquarters (Portland, OR) 💰 Investment: $10K - Expense it to your case!

So, you think you nailed your voir dire… Jurors are bonding with you, they’re engaged, and it feels like a REAL conversation instead of a STALE Q&A. Then, OUT OF NOWHERE, one juror starts “helpfully” suggesting random facts they believe you need. If you’ve ever seen a NEAR-PERFECT VOIR DIRE get blindsided by off-topic tangents, this episode is for YOU. We’re diving into H2H strategies like: 🎯 Stop, Start, String – The ULTIMATE TRIFECTA to smoothly steer jurors back on track. 🎯 Devil’s Advocate Tone – How to raise the defense’s argument without confusing your jury. 🎯 Embracing Objections – Because a lively group discussion often riles up the defense, and that’s a GOOD SIGN. Jurors mean well, but if you’re not CAREFUL, their “help” can blow up your ENTIRE opening strategy. WANT TO KEEP YOUR MASTERPIECE VOIR DIRE FROM BACKFIRING?

With these three techniques, you keep the discussion productive and aligned with your case.” — Sari de la Motte * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * * THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

Ever dread facing awkward courtroom moments or uncomfortable topics with jurors? 🥴 You're not alone. I recently sat down with Heather Mitchell — a total badass trial lawyer who won a whopping $7.5 million medical malpractice verdict. Her secret? Bravely tackling tough topics like HPV, sexual history, and invisible injuries head-on. Heather shares how she moved past her fear of awkward courtroom silence (cue crickets). She reveals exactly HOW she shut down the potential "slut-shaming" defense before it got started. Heather proves that vulnerability and authenticity aren't weaknesses — they’re your greatest strengths in court. Listen now 🎧 Xo, Sari Quote: "Fear is the saboteur. You have to get all those fears out of your head and remember there's always two cases: the one you litigated, and the one you actually try.

The truth is, facts ALONE won’t get you the 6-FIGURE WINNING VERDICT. If your voice is stuck in monotone (which I know most of y’all are guilty of, because that’s one of the very first things we work on… AHEM!), you’re handing your jury an invitation to… MENTALLY. CHECK. THE. FUCK. OUT. In this episode, we break down how to harness genuine emotion by diving into the minor mindset shifts and vocal tweaks that transform bland openings into compelling, authentic, jury-winning stories. Tune in and learn exactly how to dial up the emotion (without tipping into full-blown theatrics) and MASTER the sweet spot that moves jurors from PASSIVE LISTENERS to ACTIVE BELIEVERS. Xo, Sari Mentions: On Becoming a Trial Lawyer – Rick Friedman Quote: “You want big verdicts? You’ve got to go there emotionally. This is why the Crew exists, by the way. A big reason. Because we know that figuring out how to put an opening statement together or which voir dire questions to ask is just the start. That alone won’t get you where you need to go. ‘Let me put some emotion in my voice’ is not going to do it. Why? Because you’re never going to put emotion in your voice until you feel you’re able to risk emotionally and be vulnerable. That’s what it takes.” — Sari de la Motte * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * * THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

This week, I’m talking with Jody Moore, a powerhouse trial lawyer who hit a breaking point and had to ask herself: 👉🏼 Is it possible to be a successful attorney without sacrificing my sanity? Here’s what we’re covering: ✅ The real reason most trial lawyers burn out (hint: it’s not the workload). ✅ How to stop feeling like you have to “do it all” and still kick ass in the courtroom. ✅ Why making small shifts internally can completely transform your career — and your life. Jody went from overwhelm and exhaustion to building a practice that ACTUALLY works for her life. If you’re ready to do the same, you don’t want to miss this episode. Xo, Sari Quote: "I kept thinking the answer to burnout was external—hire more people, take fewer cases, change something out there. But what I really had to do was look inward. Why was I overworking in the first place? Why did I feel like I had to prove something by pushing myself to exhaustion? Once I figured that out, everything started to shift."

Most attorneys think their job is to present information to the jury. But here’s the truth: presenting isn’t enough — you NEED to perform. The best trial attorneys don’t JUST deliver a case.
