New attorneys can listen to this plethora of legal wisdom and breathe a sigh of relief in hearing that a legal passion plus a thirst for fresh legal knowledge is a recipe for professional success.On today's podcast:• Introduction to Zinda Law Group Attorneys, Joseph Caputo, Christina Hagen and Neil Solomon• Do nerves ever end as a new attorney?• Advice for their younger selves as new lawyers• Worst mistakes new attorneys make• Law firm's responsibility to help new attorneys' get better vs new attorneys' responsibility to get better• How to manage stress in a stressful professionDiminishing nervesWhen asked at one point did they feel comfortable as a litigator, the attorneys had the following to say.Senior Attorney, Neil Solomon, who handles severe and catastrophic injury cases at the firm, says when he started fresh out of law school he had no idea what was up from what was down.

In this episode, the Zinda Law Group team discusses how to evaluate a case. A lot of the time, it's not the case you take, but the case you don't take, that can make or break your practice. Sharing their thoughts and experience with Jack is his law partner, Joe Caputo, one of the top litigators at the firm, Neil Solomon, and one of their all-stars, Christina Hagen, who litigates cases in Colorado and Texas.How to evaluate a caseDeciding whether or not to take a case is one of the toughest parts of your job - you only have a tiny snippet of information on which you have to base your decision. So, how do you know whether the case is worth taking or not? “When evaluating a case,” Jack says, “I think of liability damages. Is there a source of recovery? What do I think about the client? Who's at fault and why? And damages. Are they hurt enough to warrant pursuing a claim?”Consider also if you're proud to represent the case, whether you'd feel confident working nights and weekends to represent them. Are you going to make a meaningful impact in their life?“Is it going to be worth their while to have us go through our process to try to help them? Evaluating the facts and the circumstances and the damages and the source of recovery. It's just as important that you think about it from the client's perspective.”Sometimes, the best thing you can do for the client is not take the case.Sorting fact from fiction“Trust your instincts,” says Joe, “if it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't.”You don't want to get your hopes up that it's a million dollar case only to wind up disappointed because you didn't ask focused and direct questions: How did you leave the scene? Who was the first one there? Who called the police? The clients aren't out to deceive you, they could simply be mistaken, and if you don't ask the right questions, you could misinterpret information. “A lot of times when you sign up a case, you'll hear information from the client. If you don't verify it, that becomes an assumed fact in your head. And you could get six months, a year, two years into the case, and you never vetted that. And it actually wasn't a fact, it was just someone's opinion or hearsay that someone heard second, third, fourth hand,” says Chrissy.Source of recoveryHow do you identify if a case makes sense from a source recovery standpoint, especially when you don't know much about the case?“The most important thing,” says Neil, “is to confirm the source of recovery, because it will determine your strategy and the timeframe in which you can try to get the case resolved.”Look outside the box too for sources of recovery, don't accept a blank space on a crash report where the insurance policy isn't recorded. “That's also where dash cam and body cam footage can be really helpful too,” adds Chrissy.Walk the sceneAlways go to the scene and do your own investigation. Hire an expert in the field if you aren't familiar with what you're looking for. “Whether it's how to build a hotel, or how the training process is related to operating a truck crane, or how to hang a chandelier, get an expert to talk to you about what could have gone wrong and who the parties are,” says Chrissy.Go at a time when the incident occured so you can see what the situation might have been like - who else might have been there? Potential witnesses? And look for cameras. Deciding whether to take the case“I always approach it with a best case scenario, in terms of liability, damages and source of recovery. And then given that and how much money I can afford to spend on the case, can I file a lawsuit and conduct an investigation without taking a crazy risk?” says Neil. Top tips for new litigators: Always meet the client in person or have Zoom meetings - you need to get a sense of who the person is. Ask focused and direct questions to make an informed decision. Determine the best case outcome. Sometimes turning down a case is the best thing you can do for a client. Be open and honest about how you conduct your investigation. You can't change the facts once you've established them, you need to be able to think on your feet and change your game plan accordingly.

In this latest episode of The Effective Lawyer, the Zinda Law Group team discusses how to investigate a personal injury case, or really any complicated liability case for either your clients or for your practice. As in all cases, they highlight the importance of getting your investigation underway quickly and getting to work on it immediately. Sharing their thoughts and experience with Jack is his law partner, Joe Caputo, and one of the top trial lawyers in the firm, Neil Solomon.The importance of immediate investigationWhile it's vital in all cases to get to work immediately, it's even more time critical when investigating a personal injury case.“Witnesses' memories fade. Extremely fast. Make sure you're getting to them and getting the statements as soon as you get the names of any witnesses. Track them down and try to pin down alternate contacts and everything else, because people will disappear.”“Reach out to witnesses and get a recorded statement wherever you can, too,” says Neil. “An investigation is not just getting a crash report, or getting a copy of the 911 call tapes or dashcam video and looking at it later,” adds Joe. “It's getting to the issues early, getting boots on the ground.”“It's those small things in that initial investigation that you need to follow up on that can really help your client.”Never take the crash report edits word for factually what happened. “If you don't peel the onion,” says Jack, “you're never going to uncover all the evidence.”How to document talking to a witnessThere's lots of different ways to go about capturing a witness statement. “If you can,” says Neil, “record them while you're speaking to them during your initial investigation. Getting a video statement is best. Even if you simply whip out your iPhone and say, ‘Hey, can I take a quick statement from you?'”“Hopefully by recording it now and then providing it later, they don't have to be brought in and have their deposition taken. Or something that would involve more time or more stress for the person.”Using an investigatorWhen should you use an investigator and when should you go out and collect the information yourself? Joe says:“My answer is it depends. What you don't want to do is create conflict for yourself that would make you a witness in the case and prevent you and your firm from representing the client.”“If it's an important witness, don't be afraid to approach them directly,” he advises. “You don't want to risk the investigator striking out or not being successful, particularly if you know you won't get a second shot at the witness statement.”The dangers of social media“While social media can be a treasure trove of information to find evidence for your cases, you have to make it clear to your clients not to post on social media about the case or about their injuries,” warns Neil, “unless they want the jury or the defendant to see it.”“The last thing you want is [them to be] posting on social media all of the marathons they have been running. Meanwhile, we have a life care planner saying they need lifelong care, and it'll be the nursing home in six months.”Top tips for new personal injury lawyers Don't take liability for granted on the investigation side Don't just rely on the crash report Get physical evidence Do not accept conceded liability, because they won't concede it at trial Get out of your office, get out and go do the investigation work “You'd rather put in the time now than get through depositions, get through mediation, and then all of a sudden, realize you had a terrible case, and you put in hundreds of hours of free work.”On today's podcast: The importance of immediate investigation How to document talking to a witness To use an investigator or not?

Wrongful death cases can be some of the most challenging cases to work on both from an emotional standpoint and a tactical or strategic standpoint. Don't miss this latest episode of The Effective Lawyer, where the helpful Zinda Law Group team has put together a how-to guide on handling your first wrongful death case. Sharing their thoughts and experience with Jack is his law partner, Joe Caputo, and one of the top trial lawyers in the firm, Neil Solomon. The most rewarding casesWhile the team never wants something to happen that will force families to call the Zinda Law Group, they unfortunately come across a number of these challenging cases. They're difficult for so many reasons. Namely, no rock can be left unturned while finding the liable parties and discovering evidence, as well as recovering information from the families. But on the other hand, the team is helping families deal with some of the most traumatic things they've ever experienced. “Some of my most rewarding cases that I've had the opportunity to work on are ones where a child has lost a parent… and our ability to ensure that they're going to be taken care of, at least financially, to me, is something that gets me up in the morning and lets me work those extra hours at night and be away from my family.”The specific tactics When you work a wrongful death case, you have to employ specific tactics that you might not ordinarily have to use in a typical case. “The number one thing that you have to make sure you do is go to the client's house, and sit down with the family and really get their biography. We create a CV of the deceased. And it's not just their professional resume, but it goes through their entire life from where they were born, where they lived, early childhood, education. We try to keep it to two pages.”Doing this allows you to get a perspective on how to push the case, what strategy to take, and ultimately allows you to better present their story when the time comes.The clientsThe thing about wrongful death law is it is nuanced by what state you're practicing in. Most often the clients are the spouse, the children, or the living parents of the deceased. Essentially, you're looking at the closest relatives to that person and branching out from there. If in doubt, draw a family tree.“Make sure you also get documentation verifying the relationships. You want birth certificates and death certificates, as these can be critical to proving that relationship. You also want to get marriage certificates and review the family law records for any divorces.” Top tips for new trial lawyers The team's top tips for new trial lawyers to wrongful death cases include getting an aggregate settlement agreement that describes how the money is going to be divided up if there's a limited supply. “It's always easier to divide up money that you haven't gotten, than money once it's on the table.”Make sure you know the nuance of where the case can be filed and figure out where that best place is. The different damages you can be awarded vary drastically by state and the venue you're in.“And I would say go offer to work with lawyers that have some of these cases and offer to work for free. Or if you get one of these, team up with a very experienced attorney who can show you the ropes.”On today's podcast: The most rewarding cases Specific tactics to employ in wrongful death cases How they differ from a typical case Who the clients are Top tips for new trial lawyers Links: www.zdfirm.com Attorney John C.

For attorneys out there interested in the intricate world of trucking and catastrophic injury law, this episode is for you. Chrissy Hagen, Joe Caputo and Jack Zinda spill the proverbial beans on what tools they use to reveal the true cause of severe and catastrophic trucking accidents. Sharing genuine anecdotes from their practice, the Zinda Law Group professionals set out an A-Z on trucking investigations. From the trucker's hour of service log to the company's hiring record, the advice is - leave no stone unturned with the help of experts and technology at your service. What's the big attraction to trucking? Firstly, this is an area for those of you with a real thirst for knowledge. When asked why this area brings them so much enjoyment, Chrissy and Joe are in complete agreement. “How much experience and knowledge you need to handle cases proficiently” is the biggest appeal. Why? Well, Chrissy says this is an area where the success of your case depends on the experts you engage to get to the bottom of who caused the crash. From reconstruction experts to perception specialists, this is a job where you really have to think outside of the box. On the other hand, trucking law is also a huge responsibility and an area that affects the lives of most people in the USA. If handled incorrectly, these gigantic vehicles are weapons on the road. As a result, many of their clients will have endured one of the ‘worst days of their lives' and often have suffered a life-threatening injury or lost a family member. So, for the Zinda Law Group attorneys, their roles are not only to hold the right people and entities responsible for the crash, but most importantly, to try and prevent it from happening again through improved safety standards and business due diligence. Where to begin? Investigate, investigate, investigate. “Don't take the crash report at face value. Talk to the investigating officer and find out what they looked at”, Jack suggests. You'll soon realize that a report citing your client is not always as clear-cut as it may initially seem. Upon arriving at the scene, the police only have a short period of time to judge what may or may not have happened. Since the injured individuals are often already in an ambulance, suffering from a severe injury, or otherwise unavailable to speak with the officer, the report is usually based on a very one-sided and partial story of the crash. Number two, get a different perspective. In this modern society, cameras are all around. From the dashcam in the police car to the security cameras in nearby stores, it is likely the crash is somewhere on tape. Failing that, 911 records are key given those who call the emergency services are witnesses to what happened. According to Joe, sending out a spoliation letter for a ‘laundry list' of items like cell phone information, logbooks, and trip receipts is a must at the start of every trucking or commercial vehicle case. Expert witnesses Expert witnesses are critical to commercial vehicle cases, and it's important to get them involved early in the case. Experts can help paint a picture of a trucker's reckless behavior and, crucially, show where a trucking business has failed to uphold training and hiring responsibilities. The main point for success is to ‘always bring it back to the company' and demonstrate a pattern of business etiquette reflective of the crash itself.

As a new attorney, you will encounter a variety of difficult individuals on the opposing counsel. From aggressive psychopaths and lazy counselors to over-billers and rule-breakers, this team of Zinda Law Group attorneys has faced them all. From physical threats to elusive pains in the neck, new attorneys can find the answer on how to combat each courtroom character and set their case up for success. Overall, the experienced team has a tried and tested rule of thumb - stay calm, document everything and set strict deadlines. Type 1 – The Aggressive Psychopath We have all seen the courtroom tv shows with dramatic attorneys slamming hands on tables, shouting and teeming with aggression, but what does it mean to actually have to deal with them in real life? Partner and Attorney, Joe Caputo, shares a tale of a courtroom Rambo he encountered who threatened to ‘knock his block off' when a line of questioning was taken unfavorably. The resounding advice from the team is to, ‘keep your cool'. “The best thing to do is not to sink to their level because that just escalates the situation,” Senior Attorney Neil Solomon suggests. Most of the time, they are playing a strategic game of courtroom intimidation. In other words, they want to see new attorneys quiver. So, instead of giving them the satisfaction, get confidence from your ‘safety net': know the rules and record every disposition. “If you know the rules then you shouldn't be intimidated,” encourages Chrissy Hagen. Type 2 – The Lazy Counsel What about those defense attorneys that simply refuse to engage? Well, the formula to keep the train moving along the legal tracks is simple - letter, call, letter, and call again. If all of these go unanswered, set strict deadlines and keep moving forward. And, above all, record, record, record! Neil believes that “showing you bend over backwards to try and accommodate them, but they just refused to move,” is the best way to get a judge to recognize a lethargic defense lawyer. Type 3 – The Over-biller Now, the overzealous biller can be hard to spot, but thankfully, easy to deal with once you're onto their game. “[It is] important to document the file and just keep track of all of the ridiculous things that they are asking for, everything that has already been provided and also make a point not to fall into their trap and play their games,” Chrissy suggests. Another ‘great tactic' which Joe uses is finding out who pays their bill, which will usually be the defendant or the insurance adjustor, and cut the over-biller off at their funds. That ought to nip the over biller right in the bud. Type 4 – The Rule Breaker The rule-breaker tends to ignore court rules and civil procedure “like a bull in a china shop,” warns Jack Zinda. How Can Plaintiff Lawyers Hurt Their Case? According to the team, here are are some things that plaintiff lawyer's do that can hurt their case more than help it: Being under-prepared and not having a concrete plan and purpose for every step of the case. Becoming “jaded” and not treating each case like a big case. Assuming that the other side is going to miss or overlook something. Not being empathetic to defense counsel and insurance adjusters. Building a relationship with the other side can help you get a better outcome for your clients.

Wouldn't it be great if someone would answer the questions you were too embarrassed to ask? Well, in this episode four experienced personal injury attorneys at Zinda Law Group detail what new attorneys can do to confidently rise to the challenge of their first deposition. From preparatory and procedural tips, to comfort blankets and secret powers against experienced attorneys, this episode is a treasure chest of tried and tested intel for any new attorney who wants the advantage from deposition number one. Depositions – when and why? According to Joe Caputo, Partner at Zinda Law Group, the two main reasons a deposition is typically taken is to pin the deponent on their story and evaluate what the facts are going to be at trial, and to evaluate that person as a witness, including their credibility and whether a jury is likely to believe their story at trial. It's important to know that you do not need to depose everyone you may call at trial, or anyone who has facts about the case. Written discovery, subpoenas, and written or video statements are other great ways to gather information without having to coordinate a deposition. How? Experienced Trial Attorney, Christina Hagen, says the first thing to do is to ‘reach out to the other side', get the dates in the diary and liaise with the court reporter. Then comes the prep. Think through the questions to be asked, the exhibits to be included, and crucially, set out the plan of attack in an attorney's greatest sidekick, the deposition notebook. What is a deposition notebook? The deposition notebook is a tool to keep attorneys on track. Severe and Catastrophic Injury Attorney, Neil Solomon, explains that generally it will include information on the petition, any written discovery from the other side, an outline with key points you want to hit on, and the exhibits you plan on using. On top of that, Joe reveals that having the deposition rules at hand was a ‘kind of a comfort blanket' for his first four years. These are often rules you may need to rely on in regard to deposition objections, instructions not to answer, suspensions of the deposition, and how to handle bringing up exhibits that haven't been produced in discovery prior to the deposition. Additionally, knowing the rules can be a new attorney's greatest defense against overconfident lawyers on the other side. Knowing the rules is a “secret power to rebut a more senior attorney trying to push you around on a case”, Attorney and Presenter, Jack Zinda advises from experience. Witnesses In earnest, the Zinda Law Group team say ‘it depends', as the answer to how long it takes to prepare for a deposition. Most importantly, “The time to start preparing for the deposition is not when you set the deposition,” Joe advises. In many instances, especially in more complicated cases, you should be preparing for the deposition when you send discovery. According to Jack, Depositions can be categorized into four main types: Fact witnesses Party depositions Corporate representatives Expert witness In particular, they agree expert witnesses require the most time. Attorneys should undertake an investigative ‘deep dive' to find out as much intel as possible and become a ‘mini expert' on the opinions of the witness, they advise. Priceless tactics Last, but certainly not least, the attorneys share invaluable tips on how to rock preliminary depositions like a seasoned expert. Firstly, don't be afraid to video record the deposition yourself, even if you don't plan on using it at trial. Secondly, make yourself a voice memo within twelve hours of the deposition of your thoughts, including how the deposition went, what discovery you still need to get out and obtain, and next steps to get the case from A to Z. And thirdly, from the wise Jack Zinda himself, “don't rush, and don't write out all your questions, but instead master the questioning technique. Trust yourself and follow where the answers lead you”. On today's podcast: When do you decide to take a deposition?

New attorneys can listen to this plethora of legal wisdom and breathe a sigh of relief in hearing that a legal passion plus a thirst for fresh legal knowledge is a recipe for professional success. Diminishing nerves When asked at one point did they feel comfortable as a litigator, the attorneys had the following to say. Senior Attorney, Neil Solomon, who handles severe and catastrophic injury cases at the firm, says when he started fresh out of law school he had no idea what was up from what was down. But, after 5 years of experiencing and learning, he found his legal ‘groove'. On the other hand, Christina Hagen, an attorney with a focus on wrongful death cases, found that for her it was less about the years of practice but more about the ‘types of experiences' she was exposed to that helped diminish her stress as a novice. When asked if the nerves ever really disappear, Partner and Attorney, Joe Caputo advises that “the minute we stop feeling the nerves and the pressure, we've got to get into a different business.” It's important to recognize that there is a lot on the line, and to constantly be pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Legal passions and skills Looking back on their time as newly licensed litigators, each attorney gives a piece of advice to their former selves. “Don't be hard on yourself, and understand you don't have to know everything right away,” Chrissy shares. Neil, who practiced law for years with respected defense firms in Texas before becoming a plaintiff's attorney, suggests “trying to figure out what you're passionate about, and what you want to do in your legal career.” They discuss the faux pas that many young lawyers make in chasing money rather than their legal passion. They advise that it is the wrong way around and leads lawyers to be married to an area of law that in the end may not be satisfactory. “Figure out what you love, and the money will follow”, Jack wisely advises. Be yourself In a similar vein, Joe Caputo, who was trained to be a ‘balls to walls', aggressive type of lawyer, says he would have told himself to find his own style. “Be yourself. Find out what your style is and mold what you are learning to your style,” Joe shares from personal experience. Altogether, the key message for new attorneys is to find a passion, stay updated on the law and ‘sharpen your tools' by taking advantage of all opportunities available from conferences to mentorships. Learn from your mistakes A common mistake that new attorneys often make is being over-aggressive or over the top. “Our practice is still based in relationships”, advises Neil, “whether it be opposing counsel, the judge and their staff, or the adjustor, building those relationships can generally work out in your favor and your client's favor rather than being aggressive.” As a new litigator, if you're ever worried about making a big mistake, the best advice Joe has is to “learn the rules and learn the laws because that is your safety net.” Work hard, play hard Finally, with some important words of caution, the team address how the high levels of stress inherent to the legal profession can be a killer, cause addiction and overwhelm lives. However, to combat this, they advise that being organized is one of the key tools for lawyers to stay on top and in control of the many competing demands. And, lastly, the resounding message to new attorneys from the Zinda Law Group team, is to get the work-life balance right. This is a profession that demands hard work, but survival for attorneys requires them to work hard but play harder.

I first ran across Joe Caputo's work during some random YouTubing, where his "Voltage Control Lab" was a real eye-opener - especially for a few under-supported modules like the Ornaments and Crime. Shortly thereafter, I ran into him at the NAMM show, where I got a VCL button from him - and the rest of the history is in the podcast... Joe has pivoted the show into a live show-and-tell-and-interview format, but has also been very active in the educational realm as well - most notably as an instructor at Musician's Institute and Icon Collective. He also continues producing music (as Computo), and... I assume he's taking a nap occasionally or something! In our chat, we talk about education, video production (and production burnout), collaboration and the primacy of music-making. We also talk a bit about 'getting out', sharing your work, and being open to new experiences. Very interesting and inspiring. You can check out his personal thing at https://iamcomputo.wordpress.com/.
