    Stand Your Ground
    Keith discusses a framework for problem-solving that extends beyond the courtroom. Keith explores how to stand your ground when a seeming obstacle can in fact strengthen a client’s claim. For example, when it comes to injuries, many assume that preexisting health conditions are a deterrent for trial. Learn how reexamination of baseline, reserves, and coping abilities can shift perspective and how this insight can be used across multiple facets of life.   Subscribe for more episodes!   Have a case?

    Resurrecting Recognizable Phrases
    Keith explores the psychology behind using familiar sayings to make pivotal points in ways that stick.   He bases his theory on the idea that people embrace old adages because they have roots in their childhood, and bring a level of comfort to the conversation, making the speaker seem naturally trustworthy.   Trust is vital in the courtroom, and can easily make or break a case.   The conversation is between Keith and Jason Ingber, Director of Legal Services at Morgan & Morgan of LA.   Subscribe for more episodes!   Have a case?
