One of the biggest mistakes I see lawyers make during depositions is being afraid to look like they do not know something.

And I learned this lesson the hard way. This is not something you master overnight. It is something we all have to grow through, checking our egos, being willing to ask the “dumb” question, and prioritizing the case over our pride.

What is one lesson you have learned the hard way during a deposition? Drop it in the comments, let us learn from each other.

: Cross-Examination Playbook (Pt. 4)
Linking Part 3 if you missed it.

The jury is watching you just as closely as they are listening to the witness. And your tone is telling them exactly how they should feel about every answer.

For every chapter in your cross-examination, you need to figure out what you want the jury to feel about that testimony. Do you want them to be angry? Sympathetic? Skeptical? Whatever emotion you choose, your voice needs to communicate that.

📌 Save this video for when you are prepping for your next cross-examination, and make sure you are following Sara Williams | Trial Attorney for more tips to help you level up your trial skills.

PS. I have this series all saved in my Instagram Highlight ‘Cross Series’ if you ever want to reference it back.

I will never forget this case. Our client, a dedicated mail carrier, was struck on a rural road by a speeding truck driver. She spent weeks in the hospital while her family fought for answers.

If you or someone you love has been involved in a truck accident, do not wait. Contact a lawyer who knows how to preserve evidence before it disappears. Every day you wait is another day they have to cover their tracks.

Your life matters more than their bottom line.

Football season means tailgates, playoff predictions, and packed stadiums. It also means a spike in something most people never connect to game day...

Major sporting events draw enormous crowds from all over the country, and that surge in travelers and transient population creates conditions traffickers deliberately exploit. Traffickers are rarely the strangers we picture. They are community members, business owners, family members, or someone a child met online.

Any minor can be targeted, regardless of gender, race, or background, because traffickers are looking for vulnerability, not demographics. Youth experiencing homelessness or instability are at the highest risk, and that risk climbs whenever a major event brings more potential exploiters into one place.

A few signs tend to show up: disorientation, fear, an inability to speak freely, or someone who seems out of place without explanation.

Report to the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888, or text “HELP” to 233733.

We often think networking means collecting business cards and getting in front of the right people. After two decades of practicing, and years of watching young lawyers build their careers, I have realized the relationships that mattered most were rarely the ones I was chasing.

Here is what I have learned watching young lawyers navigate this... The biggest networking mistakes are not about who you know. They are about how you show up. Following through on the small things. Checking in without needing something in return.

What is a networking mistake you have made or seen? Drop it in the comments so someone else can learn from it.

I’m honored to be recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Plaintiffs Personal Injury Litigation.

The work behind this recognition is deeply personal to me. Representing people and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives carries a tremendous responsibility, and I never take their trust for granted.

I’m grateful to my colleagues, clients, and everyone who has been part of this journey. I look forward to continuing the work and advocating for those who deserve to have their voices heard.

Lies women lawyers are told about softness, motherhood, and authority...

The things we have been told are weaknesses are actually our greatest strengths. Empathy is not a liability. It is what connects you to a witness and earns the trust of a jury. Intuition is not a distraction. It is what tells you to pivot mid-trial when the moment calls for it.

Softness is not the opposite of authority. It is exactly what makes you unforgettable in that courtroom. And motherhood does not compete with your career. You get to define both, on your own terms.

Female lawyers, what is a lie you had to unlearn? And if this resonated, share this with a woman who needs to hear it.
