The Only Way to Become a Great Trial Lawyer is by Doing it
Las Vegas Trial Lawyer
As new a trial lawyer you can rehearse, you can do mock trials, you can do focus groups all you like, but until you’re in front of a live jury with a real client where the stakes are real, there is no replacement for the trial and error of being a trial lawyer and actually doing it.
That’s the art of trial advocacy. And that’s where my 25 years and more than 100 jury trials come into play. I’ve seen things dozens, if not hundreds of times that most lawyers haven’t. I know what the potential pitfalls are of trials. In particular, nowadays, expert witnesses drive trials in virtually every type of civil case. These individuals are being paid tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in cases they’re serving as professional expert witnesses. Unless you have had the experience of cross-examining a smart, difficult expert witness who can inflict real harm on your case, you should not be taking a case to trial. You need to have the experience of someone who is very seasoned as a trial lawyer who has not only seen it all before but has a vast array of experience in dealing with expert witnesses of all types so you can better understand what plays well and what presents well to a jury.
The Cross
The art of cross-examination of expert witnesses is something that can only be accomplished through seasoned experience as a trial lawyer. My team and I have a unique understanding of what works in front of juries and what doesn’t work. We’ve polled thousands of jurors following trials to find out exactly what they liked, what they saw, and what they would like to see us improve upon. Unless you have had the full opportunity to speak to jurors who have actually served as a juror in a case after weeks of trial testimony and making a decision based upon all the evidence they heard, you don’t have the full story and you certainly don’t have the feedback you need to evolve your level of trial experience. While focus groups are important and play a very important role, presenting your case in front of a jury, making real opening statements and finding your preferred presentation method is the only true way to become a great trial lawyer.
These days, most lawyers go to trial maybe 5 or 10 times in their career while I personally go somewhere between 5 to 10 times every year. It is that level of experience that enables me and my law firm to ask for millions or even tens of millions of dollars. We have the experience, knowledge base, and tools to persuade juries and judges to find in our client’s favor.

Amazon Can Be Held Liable for Third-Party Seller Products: U.S. Appeals Court
A federal appeals court last week ruled against Amazon.com in a case that could expose the online retailer to lawsuits from customers who buy defective products from third-party vendors through its website.
Numerous other courts, including two federal appeals courts, have held that Amazon cannot be held liable as a seller of products from third-party vendors. The new ruling from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, which reversed a lower court decision, appeared to be the first to buck that trend.
In addition to selling its own inventory, Amazon allows third-party vendors to list products for sale on its website. Such vendors may store their products in Amazon’s warehouses or ship them directly to customers.
In last Wednesday’s opinion, Circuit Judge Jane Richards Roth, writing for a 2-1 majority of a three-judge panel, said Amazon may be liable in part because its business model “enables third-party vendors to conceal themselves from the customer, leaving customers injured by defective products with no direct recourse to the third-party vendor.”
The panel sent the case back to the lower court, which will have to decide whether the leash was actually defective.

Courtroom Heavyweight Dennis Prince Announces Opening of Boutique Litigation Law Firm in Las Vegas
Dennis Prince, well known as one of the best trial lawyers in the State of Nevada has announced the opening of Prince Law Group, a Las Vegas based boutique litigation law firm dedicated to the aggressive representation of clients suffering from devastating injuries caused by the negligence of another.
Built upon Prince’s extensive background and experience in the areas of trial practice, personal injury, insurance law, and commercial litigation, the new firm is expected to land multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf of victims of defective products and negligence.
“This firm was strategically designed with our clients’ needs in mind,” says Dennis Prince, Founder and Managing Partner at Prince Law Group. “We offer a sophisticated level of representation and a team approach where each trial lawyer plays to his or her strengths in order to achieve the maximum result for our clients.”
With over 100 trials taken to jury verdict, and over $100 million in verdicts and settlements won on behalf of his clients, it’s safe to say Prince is no stranger to the courtroom. In fact, he was named as one of the nation’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association, and Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2016 by the Nevada Justice Association.
“The vast majority of our cases are referrals from other attorneys, attorneys who trust and respect our work ethic and case results,” says Prince. “When you refer injury cases to Prince Law Group, you are doing a great service to not only your clients but also your firm. Our presence can significantly increase the value of the case or settlement, and as a consequence, the revenues of the referring attorney or law firm.”
