The Thesis

Pretrial is where cases are won.

So many lawyers think trial begins at jury selection but by the time you're at voir dire, the fate of the case has already been decided. In actuality, trial begins long before at expert reports. The record is what the record is, but the power is in how you use it.

Pretrial is where you shape the record into the story that empowers the jury (or judge or mediator) to look at your client and think, this person deserves better than what happened to them. That's pretrial. That's where the magic happens.

The Flagship Course

Color Theory™

The Premier Pretrial Litigation System

Excellence is a system. I'll teach you mine.

What it is

Color Theory is my pretrial system, taught as a self-paced video course.

It covers the phase nobody teaches: expert reports, summary judgment, Daubert, exhibits, themes and demonstratives. Everything in it is built from real work product on real cases. You start with Step Zero, which sets how you think about a case from the day you get it, then work through five modules, one for each letter of COLOR.

CONSULTING FOR ACTIVE CASES

Color Theory is how I handle my cases.
Color Study is how I would handle yours.

Defendants filed their MSJ. Daubert Oppositions are due. Rebuttal reports need to be strategized. You have an oral argument that you need to win.

Consulting is available when the deadline is tight and the moment calls for partner-level strategic thinking on your actual case. Plaintiff attorneys only. Apply, complete a short intake, and if it's a fit I'll bring the COLOR system to your case before your deadline.

What Is at Stake

Be the litigator
you were always meant to be.

You came to litigation to be the one who stands up when it matters. You got here aspiring to be great, knowing you could be, but without the system to get you there. Color Theory is that system. It gives you the proven pretrial process for a practice that you can be proud of. 

Are you ready to be excellent?
