Join us for the 2019 CATA Litigation Institute, Persuasively Presenting Damages at Trial, on April 12, 2019 from 12:30 – 4:00 at the Cleveland Ritz, with cocktails following.
You’ll earn 3 hours of CLE and hear from 3 masters of damages at trial:
Susan Petersen
Multi-million dollar settlements do not come unless the other side is afraid of trial, and they have good reason to be with Susan’s approach to digging into a case and getting results. Damages are one area Susan excels with, as evidenced by the results she gets at trial. She has recovered more than $35 million for clients in the last three years alone. She has been a long-time CATA board member, was inducted into the International Society of Barristers, and has been selected as one of “Ohio’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers” by the National Association of Trial Lawyers every year since 2011.
Michael Jay Leizerman
Michael Jay Leizerman, author of “The Zen Lawyer: Winning with Mindfulness,” is a trial lawyer who has mastered the art of inspiring jurors in even the most conservative counties to return significant verdicts. Michael has received record-breaking truck accident settlements and verdicts across the country: a $34 million Ohio settlement in 2014, a record $16 million Ohio wrongful death consortium-only verdict in 2013, and a $13.2 million Arizona wrongful death consortium-only verdict in 2012.
Gina Crawford, PH.D., J.D.
