- Non-Verbal Communication

Proxemics-It is impossible for an individual not to communicate, even if he chooses to remain silent. It is generally agreed by experts in the field that over 60% of the impact of meaning of the communicated message resides in the non-verbal behavior accompanying the oral message. The ability to read and decode this leakage is of invaluable aid to the trial lawyer. It can be used in detecting deception during the interview or interrogation; it can be used in orchestrating your conduct and your witness’s conduct during the course of the trial; it can be used to enhance your ability to communicate to the jury or to the court.

- Structured Settlements

In many cases the insurance company representing the at fault defendant may be willing to purchase a “Structure” with the settlement proceeds. This is a highly technical legal device which allows the insurance carrier to purchase an annuity policy for the benefit of the injured party which can be structured in such a way that it can provide: up front capital, a stream of income for a definite period of years, future lump sum payments timed to future critical stages in the injured person’s life, cost of living increases for the income payment, or a combination of all of these.
