Justice served! 👏👏


Hey Reader,

Just as we were heading into the weekend, we got the best news ever.

A winning verdict.

🎉 Huge congratulations to our client, San Diego trial attorney Keith Rutman.

VERDICT
$830K
plus a punitive finding
($750K ask)

Two jurors actually wanted to go all the way to $1 million.

Not a bad way to jump into the weekend, eh?

➡️ More soon on how the case came together.

For now, cheers to Keith and his client on a well-deserved outcome!

At one point I was on my feet and Steve was shouting: "NO. NO. DON’T ASK HIM LIKE THAT!" You’d think we had money on the cross. We didn't, obviously. While most people watch the documentary like an episode of Dateline—we were watching it like game tape. Rewinding the same thirty seconds. Pausing on a word choice....
