The book is here!
     Jurors are hostages. Trial kidnaps jurors, forcing them to participate in a process they don’t understand or believe in. Until jurors commit to you and your client’s case, they will look for the quickest way out; and that's rarely good for plaintiffs. It's up to you to set jurors free so they can take action for your client.
     In From Hostage to Hero, you'll learn how to convey meaning and purpose to jurors, rallying them to actively participate in your client’s case. Using examples from cases I've consulted on, I'll walk you through the steps you need to take to move jurors from hostages to heroes. As you work your way through each step, you'll learn how to communicate your leadership and inspire jurors, helping them become the heroes you need to obtain justice for your client.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SARI

"This Queen of Communication is a great gift to the legal community."

Randi McGinn, McGinn, Montoya, Love & Curry


My experience, over fifty five years of trial work involving well over one hundred jury trials, confirms the unique insight about the jury selection process which is so clearly outlined in this book.

A lot articles and books have been written over the years about the jury selection concepts, but this is the first book I’ve read which so clearly and understandably provides accurate insight about the true precepts involved. Every trial lawyer who is involved in a jury trial should read this book first.

​Good coaches can make any trial lawyer, no matter how accomplished, better. One hour with Sari has made me better. She will make you better too.

"Fear is often the single greatest reason we lose cases. Ms. de la Motte does an outstanding job of addressing the fear both we and  jurors experience. She addresses the threat response and how it affects both the juror's brains and ours as well. We NEED to understand how the brain works in order to be successful. This book is very helpful to lawyers in the trenches. It addresses issues that every trial lawyer faces and is a must read."

With this book Sari joins the ranks of David Ball, Josh Karton and Claude Stein, the other great non-lawyers who understand our jobs well enough to actually make a contribution to our cases and performance. Sari is a gifted teacher, and there is practical, trial-ready advice on nearly every page.
