About this audiobook

From renowned trial attorney and New York Times bestselling author Gerry Spence: a must own book for every lawyer and business professional seeking to make cutting-edge winning presentations--in court, at work, everywhere, any time.

Gerry Spence is perhaps America's most renowned and successful trial lawyer, a man known for his deep convictions and his powerful courtroom presentations when he argues on behalf of ordinary people. Frequently pitted against teams of lawyers thrown against him by major corporate or government interests, he has never lost a criminal case and has not lost a civil jury trial since 1969.

In Win Your Case, Spence shares a lifetime of experience teaching you how to win in any arena-the courtroom, the boardroom, the sales call, the salary review, the town council meeting-every venue where a case is to be made against adversaries who oppose the justice you seek. Relying on the successful courtroom methods he has developed over more than half a century, Spence shows both lawyers and laypersons how you can win your cases as he takes you step by step through the elements of a trial-from jury selection, the opening statement, the presentation of witnesses, their cross-examinations, and finally to the closing argument itself.

Spence teaches you how to prepare yourselves for these wars. Then he leads you through the new, cutting-edge methods he uses in discovering the story in which you form the evidence into a compelling narrative, discover the point of view of the decision maker, anticipate and answer the counterarguments, and finally conclude the case with a winning final argument.

To make a winning presentation, you are taught to prepare the power-person (the jury, the judge, the boss, the customer, the board) to hear your case. You are shown that your emotions, and theirs, are the source of your winning. You learn the power of your own fear, of honesty and caring and, yes, of love. You are instructed on how to role-play through the use of the psychodramatic technique, to both discover and tell the story of the case, and, at last, to pull it all together into the winning final argument.

Whether you are presenting your case to a judge, a jury, a boss, a committee, or a customer, Win Your Case is an indispensable guide to success in every walk of life, in and out of the courtroom.

    I am a Pro Se attorney with a few key victories under my belt. This book enhances the correct approach in the civil and criminal courts. He gives great lessons on being prepared for battle as a trial is war. Your going to loose some battles at trial and you may want to as you lead your jury into an ultimate victory. Gerry gives you the mindset in this book to prepare to create and think outside the box for extreme justice. He gives you the psychological levels you need to achieve to release your redemptive passion to capture your jury. You can feel his pulse in the audiobook as he delivers a genuine experienced level of piercing truths that will become part of your winning toolbox. Its ok to be fearful it drives honesty. Embrace fear to become fear.......less. When you know that the truth will be delivered in a way that is believable supported by facts that are irreproachable and you have the countenance of truth wrtten on your face.....game over. This is just a beautiful book. It encouraged me to write to his firm concerning a very complex lawsuit im facing at the moment. I received a call from his in take yesterday...if my case is accepted I will know Gerry Spence is for real and his legacy will not end. Id like to thank him for the inspiration to represent yourself in a way that is above and beyond good lawyering. Go beyond yourself and reach a level of excellence in all matters pertaining to your case and procedure. Victory is yours. Thank you Gerry.
