In the legal profession, no one wants to read what we write. While what we write may be important, it is not popular fiction; motions are not read for pleasure. This MCLE video presentation will cover how to fix word wasting habits that needlessly lengthen your writing and how to develop sentence and paragraph construction techniques that improve readability in your legal documents.

Category
MCLE credit: 1 MCLE credit
Viewing Time: 57 minutes
In this video, Attorney Paul Hoybjerg will provide expertise on how to scrutinize all factors in a client’s car accident case. California Civil Jury Instruction 400 and 3929 provides that a Plaintiff be entitled to receive compensation for all injuries they sustain. This includes any pain and suffering they sustain from treatment of injuries suffered in the car accident. By establishing a baseline of injuries and symptoms, immediately after the crash, Paul will detail how to effectively monitor the client and observe if there have been additional complications or required procedures. Initial case classifications must be thrown out and case strategy must adapt and mold to the injuries the client has suffered, even if those injuries are not readily apparent in the intake interview. Learn how to recognize the changes in your case, challenge the adjuster’s initial rational for damages, and achieve high settlements for your clients.

VIDEO – Getting Paid In Times Of Shutdowns And Slowdowns: Lessons We Learned From The Pandemic
Category
MCLE credit: 1 hour MCLE credit
Viewing Time: 57 minutes
We are nearly 2 years after the March 2020 “shelter in place” orders where courts shut down and lawyers scrambled to learn how to practice “virtually.” We are now proficient in conducting meetings, depositions, hearings and mediations virtually. But this radically altered business environment necessarily requires lawyers to focus on how to generate cash flow when trial dates are delayed for a year or more. This program will discuss fee collection issues that lawyers are experiencing because of the “virtual” world we now find ourselves in. We’ll discuss how to structure fee agreements to facilitate payment, how to collect on fees after the case is over, when and how to pursue an attorney’s lien and ethical and practical consideration in structuring and enforcing fee agreements.
