Shownotes

To effectively talk with a jury about non-economic damages, you need a star witness – usually not your client – who can communicate how an injury affected your client. In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose,  Ashkahn Mohamadi discusses how he leveraged his technique in recent trials to secure multi-million-dollar verdicts. He’ll teach the formula at TLU Beach (June 4-7).

Episode Snapshot

  • Ash’s mom gave him three options for a career. Doctor and engineer were “against the grain” – but he could always talk, and he loved to argue.
  • At Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, Ash interned at the district attorney’s office, but he says his substantive training started when he started practicing law.
  • As a young lawyer, Ash was lead or co-counsel on about five trials, including 12 that went to verdict.
  • Ash describes the pivotal moment at trial when a partner asked if he wanted to examine a witness. “I looked at him and I immediately said, ‘Yes.’ And then I could see him kind of reeling.”
  • At TLU Beach, Ash will present on how to communicate non-economic damages, breaking down each element and finding the “magic sauce”: your star witness.
  • In a recent slip-and-fall case against a hospital, Ash secured a $3.9 million verdict after proving the hospital's floor polishing created an unsafe surface.
  • For a wrongful death case involving a developmentally disabled woman, Ash used the mother's book to show the value of their relationship, resulting in a $22.5 million verdict.
  • In a Central California auto case, Ash turned down a $7.65 million offer and secured a $17.4 million verdict for two elderly sisters by demonstrating how the crash stole their hard-earned independence.
