  • Ryan Medler – Born to Be a Trial Lawyer: A Lifelong Quest to Be the Best

    Ryan Medler – Born to Be a Trial Lawyer: A Lifelong Quest to Be the Best
    Apr 8 2026
    At four years old, Ryan Medler had cancer — and the doctor who nearly missed it changed his family's legal history. His mother quit her defense firm and launched the plaintiff practice that Ryan now calls home, Medler Law. He joins host Dan Ambrose to share highlights of his path, which includes 11 trials to date. Tune in as he reflects on his first trial that earned him thousands less than he’d asked for, his innovative decision to bring a habitability claim into a slip-and-fall case, and the chainsaw case that he brought under a section of the California labor code. As he says: It’s more interesting than it sounds.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Ryan Medler☑️ Medler Law | Facebook | Instagram | X | YouTube☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 Programming☑️ Witness Preparation & Direct Examination, May 8 - 9, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Dark Arts Trial Warcraft Bootcamp, May 27 - June 2, Huntington Beach, CA☑️ TLU Beach, June 3-6, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotRyan grew up in St. Louis, attended UCLA for his undergraduate degree, and then moved to New York, managing nightclubs for several years before enrolling at New York Law School on a full scholarship.Ryan began his legal career as a floater at Wilshire Law Firm before joining trial attorney Gene Sullivan's five-person firm, where he co-first-chaired nine trials in just over three years. He now practices at the firm that his parents founded.In a slip-and-fall case against a slumlord with a leaking skylight over a staircase, Ryan won over $6.5 million at verdict — a figure that grew to more than $9 million by the time it was paid out.Ryan added a habitability claim to that slip-and-fall so he could introduce photos of mold, rats, holes in walls, and exposed wiring. Post-trial, jurors confirmed that the photos made them so angry they raised all damages across the board.Ryan's takeaway from his “chainsaw” case under a California labor code: Rather than attacking the opposing witness directly, he used that witness to expose six lies told by the defendant, defense counsel, and defense expert. The defense settled for the $1.5 million policy limit.Ryan will teach a case analysis session and trial preparation workshop at TLU Beach.Produced and Powered by LawPods

  • Orlando De Castroverde - From Las Vegas Billboard Lawyer to Trial Lawyer: My 8-Year Journey with TLU

    Orlando De Castroverde - From Las Vegas Billboard Lawyer to Trial Lawyer: My 8-Year Journey with TLU
    Apr 3 2026
    Orlando De Castroverde was done referring his best cases to other lawyers. A billboard lawyer and co-owner of a Las Vegas personal injury firm, Orlando had the cases — he just needed the conviction to try them. After stepping away from trials to build the business, he committed in 2018 to becoming a real trial lawyer, including through training on the TLU platform with founder host Dan Ambrose What followed: the last pre-COVID verdict in Vegas, the city's first post-COVID trial, and a $1.72 million verdict against an offer of $125,000. In this episode, he shares how he uses a flip chart to box in defense experts, why he never tries a case alone, and how TLU On Demand sharpens his whole team.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Orlando De Castroverde | LinkedIn☑️ De Castroverde Law Group | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand: Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 Programming☑️ Witness Preparation & Direct Examination, May 8 - 9, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Dark Arts Trial Warcraft Bootcamp, May 27 - June 2, Huntington Beach, CA☑️ TLU Beach, June 3-6, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotOrlando's father, Waldo, a former blackjack dealer who became a lawyer in his late 40s, inspired Orlando to follow in his footsteps. Orlando worked at his dad's office through junior high, high school, and college.After clerking for district court judge Lee Gates in Las Vegas for a year and a half, Orlando learned the court from the inside out — watching trials, meeting judges, and building the confidence to eventually join his dad's firm.Within a month of joining his dad's firm, Orlando tried his first case — a criminal matter involving a Brazilian client charged with six or seven felony counts of not paying back casino markers at the Bellagio — and won an acquittal.In 2018, after noticing a pattern of cases settling for less than their value, Orlando made a firm-wide commitment to trying cases rather than giving away the best cases to other lawyers.For Orlando, every trial is a team effort, including a November 2023 case he tried with a lawyer who had been practicing for just two weeks and who has since earned verdicts of $1 million or more in all three of her trials.To win $1.72 million against a $25,000 pre-trial offer, Orlando and his team scripted witness presentations, used a flip chart to draw the spinal extrusion in front of the jury, and left it up throughout trial to continually reinforce the injury to the jury.In his most recent case — a delay-in-diagnosis matter involving a lymphoma patient who was not told of her results for six months — Orlando argued that his client lost a chance of remission. The defense paid policy limits of $1 million.Produced and Powered by LawPods

  • Tim McKey — From CPA to Law Firm Consultant; Fixing the Leaks Costing You Millions and Adding Value to your Firm

    Tim McKey — From CPA to Law Firm Consultant; Fixing the Leaks Costing You Millions and Adding Value to your Firm
    Mar 28 2026
    Tim McKey is not a lawyer, but he’s been inside over 300 plaintiff firms, and he sees where lapses in operations mean lost dollars. A CPA by training, Tim and a colleague formed Vista Consulting to help law firms “de-bottleneck.” In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Tim describes the journey that led to Vista and how it achieves its mission of helping law firms. Tune in as he reveals the operational mistakes – including intake methods – that could be quietly draining your firm's revenue.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Tim McKey | LinkedIn☑️ Vista Consulting | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 Programming☑️ Training Witnesses to Transport Themselves and the Jury, April 17-18, Hermos Beach, CA☑️ TLU Trial Skills Training, April 21- 25, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Witness Preparation & Direct Examination, May 8 - 9, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Dark Arts Trial Craft Bootcamp, May 27 - June 2, Huntington Beach, CA☑️ TLU Beach, June 3-6, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotTim McKey spent 18 years with Deloitte before converting his CPA firm into a business consultancy around 1999 when he realized he was "keeping score" but not "affecting the score."Vista Consulting has worked with over 300 plaintiff law firms, getting referrals entirely through word of mouth.Tim outlines key areas that Vista evaluates at every firm: vision, people in the right seats, intake, case management, HR and training, technology, financial reporting, and physical plant — now including AI and tech stack analysis.On Alternative Business Structures (ABS), Tim explains that only Arizona, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., currently allow non-lawyer ownership in law firms, and he believes that model is going by the wayside in favor of the MSO (Managed Service Organization) structure.The MSO model — where a law firm spins out all non-legal personnel and assets into a separate entity that then contracts services back to the firm — allows private equity investment without violating bar ethics rules on non-lawyer ownership.At TLU Beach, Tim will deliver a one-hour lecture about what the top-performing firms in the country do operationally and financially to get more clients and increase case values.Produced and Powered by LawPods
