The step-by-step “House of Damages” method that has anchored seven- and eight-figure PI verdicts nationwide.

“Nearly fifty years of casework have taught me a hard truth: many trial lawyers still confuse economists with vocational experts and life-care planners. Damages get under-valued, and clients pay the price. This handbook is my answer to the question I hear at every CLE—‘How do I document my case damages?’ Follow the ‘House of Damages’ framework and you’ll never walk into mediation without rock-solid numbers again.”

Cut through “he-said-she-said” income claims with defensible vocational data.

“Economic downturns don’t pause divorce, they complicate it. Since my first articles on vocational testimony in the early ’90s, courts have leaned on experts like me to cut through optimistic résumés and outdated earning claims. In today’s post-COVID landscape, that need is sharper than ever. This guide walks attorneys through the latest methodology—so you can present a spouse’s true employability in language judges trust.”

The first field guide that turns a child’s lifetime of anticipated care needs and lost earning power into hard numbers a jury—and the defense—can’t ignore.

“After 50 years of casework I’m still asked, ‘How do we quantify a child’s lifelong losses?’—something law school never covered. Having evaluated hundreds of permanently-injured kids and teens—and seen juries award millions when the evidence is presented right—I realized no practical handbook existed. This book fills that gap, giving plaintiff and defense counsel an objective, step-by-step method to document pediatric life-care costs and future earning-capacity losses so the numbers hold up in court.”

Bridge the gap between service-connected impairments and “unemployability” with court-approved vocational methodology.

“After decades on witness stands, I can tell you this: a VA rating alone is rarely enough. In these pages I show you how to translate a veteran’s service-connected impairments into clear vocational evidence that satisfies both the law and common sense. When you can demonstrate—step by step—why no stable job exists for your client, TDIU stops feeling like a long shot and starts looking inevitable.”
