Winning Warriors: Defender Trial Tactics Day 1

October 16, 2014 Leave a Comment

Wow! Just Wow! What a day!

Day 1 of our Warrior CLE was fabulous! Many, many thanks to Tyler Flood, our Course Director, for organizing such an amazing lineup of speakers and topics. With so much talent in one room, it’s no wonder we still have people showing up wanting to get in!

Today’s speakers included Alexandre Afanassiev, an immigration specialist; Chris Downey, a solo attorney and master at charges and other trial tactics; Nicole Deborde, an HCCLA past president and skilled litigation mitigator; Brian Wice, a media mogal and appellate lawyer; John Raley and Michael Morton, a winning and inspirational duo; Dick DeGuerin, a trial legal and HCCLA past president; Neal Davis, a talented litigator with attention to detail; Nancy Bunin, a true fighter with compassion who knows a thing or two about recusals; and Jim Mount, a steady and courageous trial lawyer who took us inside the grand jury.

As if the lineup couldn’t get any better, there’s Day 2!

Photos from today can be seen on our Facebook page which has been blowing up social media!

We offer special thanks to Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and CDLP,
a project of TCDLA funded by the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, for their assistance with this program.

Final Argument from the Master

October 1, 2014

Many thanks to Dan Cogdell, HCCLA Past President and Texas Trial Legend, for presenting Final Arguments tonight at our FREE Members CLE and Happy Hour.

It is always entertaining and educational when we learn from the masters in our midst. One of the favorite lines from this CLE: “when you can’t win, you have nothing to lose!”
