Litigation Strategist

Coach earned a Master’s Degree in the Law (LLM) in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution to study

innovative ways to resolve conflict. Although, like most attorneys, he settles 99.9% of conflicts, he has also

successfully employed his unique Positive Resolution Mindset in even the most personal litigation.

Some of his more notable conflicts using the Positive Resolution Mindset include family members

switching sides in a family dispute to help children, national accolades for a court-ordered podcast to resolve prior defamation, and suing someone into multiple times into hiring Coach as their lawyer.

Read about them below:

CASE STUDY I

EX-IN-LAWS: BESTIES AFTER FEDERAL COURT

It wasn’t pretty. After taking his ex-mother-in-law to federal court, the pair came together to become very close co-parenting partners for the children she engineered getting into Coach’s care.

COACH describing the deep love he shared with his ex-mother-in-law even through their prior conflict.

CASE STUDY II
PSEUDONYMOUS TRASH-TALKERS EARN ACCOLADES AFTER COURT ORDER

Coach took a bunch of shoot-from-the-hip lawyer podcasters into mainstreeam accolades as a result of his successful litigation strategy. They ended up giving Coach their name.

In the slightly longer version, you probably have to listen to the episode. For As a legal podcast dramedy unfolds, Coach’s new lawyer-podcasting partners recount how Coach first gave them a chance to talk before suing. They ignored it.

Then, a Court ordered them to have Coach on air to right their wrongs. Coach was frankly too successful in helping the lawyers out. They handed Coach the rights to the name of their podcast. Then, after the group won accolades from Slate.com because of Coach’s involvement, they refused to publish “less-than-Coach quality” fare.  Coach’s Attorney Misconduct news service, the eponymous ALABnews, survives and thrives – having produced thousands of news stories while the original podcasters await Coach’s return to the air.

CASE STUDY III
COACH’S LITIGATION ADVERSARY HIRES COACH AS ITS LAWYER

Although the details of this series of four cases would bore you, Coach earned a judgment and as a result, the primary Defendant on the other side was required to hire Coach as its lawyer in other litigation.

They also donated to Coach’s favorite charities, the ones he founded and runs.

RISKS INVOLVED 

There are risks involved in Coach’s Positive Resolution Mindset. Coach certainly knows them. One court below the Supreme Court of the United States expressed anger with Coach even though it handed him a victory (this is explored in great detail at ALABPodcast). One Illinois court got so angry with Coach it said it would sanction him for following the very rules by which they were bound (Ill. Sup. Ct. Rule 311a) and those of its sister courts (Ill. R. App. Proc. 4th 113(1)) while providing a smoking gun as to its own culpability. (Meanwhile, it sits on his pending response for more than a year as of this writing.*)

The strength of the Positive Resolution Mindset is that setbacks are part of the process, exposing further areas for improvement to the world. The PRM requires patience…a virtue.
