What this Blog is About-Civil Jury Trials and Life

The title of the blog is an oxymoron.  In every civil case, there is always tribulation--even when you win.  Our law firm has tried more than 100 civil cases to verdict; and we have participated in many more that resulted in summary disposition or settlement. Those cases represent hours of work and distress for the participants and attorneys.  The reward has been hard-earned experience that allows us to minimize the tribulation imposed upon our clients; and great stories. I hope to use this blog to share some of those stories and comment upon relevant civil trials from the perspective of folks who have done it themselves.  Trying cases also presents interesting challenges into trying to live a normal happy life.  I also hope to share some of the lessons learned from trying to balance the challenges and demands of a career as a trial lawyer with family, friends, and outside interests.
