“Liar, cheat, ambulance-chaser.” If you ask people what they think of lawyers, those pejoratives are often high on the list. When you ask people what they’d like lawyers to be, the answer is almost always “a teacher.” That’s why, if you ask Randi McGinn for her first tip for lawyers, her answer is to be the human in the courtroom, not the lawyer. A partner at McGinn Montoya Love Curry & Sievers in Albuquerque, Randi sits down with host Kevin Morrison to share that tip and two others that she’s learned from trying more than 130 cases over 40-plus years. Tip two is to be the master storyteller and tip three is to be ready to go to your client's home. Tune in as Randi – the first woman president of the Inner Circle of Advocates; member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers; New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association; American Board of Criminal Lawyers; an author and a teacher – breaks down why these tips can lead to success.

When his dad was diagnosed with cancer at age 53, Rich Schoenberger was unsure about his future. He and his dad had a heart-to-heart. He might want to be a lawyer, he said. “What’s the best place to learn how to be a trial lawyer?” his father asked. “I have no idea.” “Well, why don’t you find out?” Some four decades later, Rich is a leading plaintiffs’ attorney and member of the “big four” invitation-only trial organizations. Reflecting on that formative conversation with his father, he tells host Kevin Morrison that “for me, trial work wasn't what I wanted to do. It's what I need to do.” Fresh from securing a $26 million verdict in a complex products case, Rich shares tips on closing argument, jury selection, and efficiency.
