The overwhelming majority of cases never go to trial and, because of this, most attorneys, whether they're new or seasoned litigators, don't have a lot of actual trial experience. They find jury trials intimidating and awkward.

Although experience is always the best teacher, what if you don't have any, or not much? Your first clients shouldn't have to suffer through your learning curve, and neither should you. Noted trial lawyer Michael Schwartz has come to the rescue in this informative and entertaining guidebook to help attorneys lacking experience or confidence, navigate trial work step by step, from the first client meeting to verdict.

Like a good sail, Trial and the Art of Sailing zigzags back and forth along the waters of actual trial work and life, between blunt advice, mistakes lived and learned, anecdotes, war stories, strategy, and good, old fashioned commonsense. Schwartz's nearly thirty years of experience has led to unmatched success and now you can have the same success in your own career.

"Top-rated trial lawyer Michael Schwartz began his career as a Deputy Public Defender in Ventura and Riverside Counties. For the past twenty years he has focused on representing peace officers in some of the toughest and most noteworthy criminal cases in Southern California. Described by the California Daily Journal as 'an extraordinary talent' and a 'world class lawyer' and by retired Chief Public Defender for the State of New Mexico Jorge Alvarado as ""one of the best trial lawyers I've ever seen,"" some of Michael's notable trial victories include the Kelly Thomas/Fullerton Police murder case, the full acquittal of Los Angeles Sheriff Deputy Luke Liu for manslaughter, as well as the full acquittal of Pomona Corporal Chad Jensen in Federal Court for excessive force and obstruction of justice. Having litigated nearly two hundred jury trials to verdict and dozens of arbitration hearings, Michael thought it time to now share that unique mix of an unparalleled track record, experience, and personalized, compassionate representation with a wider audience. While he has written articles on litigation and evidence for The California Daily Journal, PORAC News, and American Police Beat, Michael wrote Trial and the Art of Sailing to give a more comprehensive and characterized guide on trial practice. Michael currently practices in Southern California, and you can find him at: www.themichaelschwartzfirm.com."
