#21 Craig M. Peters, Esq. Counsel for the Plaintiff.
Welcome to the Trial Alchemy™ podcast, where I talk with top ABOTA plaintiff and defense trial lawyers, and ABOTA civil trial judges about what works, and what doesn't work when trying a case to a jury. Listening to the podcast is a great way for all civil trial lawyers, whether they've tried no cases or lots of cases, to learn from civil jury trial experts.
In episode #21, I talk with ABOTA member and outstanding civil plaintiff attorney Craig M. Peters, Esq. Thanks for listening!
