Episode 27: Ron Estefan on the Currency of Credibility in the Courtroom

“A lot of people have this sense that the voir dire is almost like a throwaway part of a trial. You get up there talk to these jurors, and some people just throw up their hands and say ‘we’re not going to learn anything from these jurors, they’re not going to share with us anything that matters what we are doing here’ and that notion can become prevalent if you allow it to. I overcame this by watching others who were using the TLC Methods and actually being apart of them doing it. I could see the quantum shift of how a voir dire should be done. It was like night and day.” – Ron Estefan, 2005 TLC Grad & Faculty Member

In this interview, Ron Estefan (TLC ’05) Houston-based personal injury trial lawyer and TLC faculty member talks about the importance of credibility in the courtroom. He describes how to build credibility, how to use it — and how you can lose it — and how it is essential during Voir Dire and all other interactions with the jury as you fight for justice for your client.
