## Resource

In Colorado, Kurt Zaner typically has 15 to 30 minutes for voir dire, so he makes every minute count. In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer , he explains how. “Even though you’ve got 15 minutes, the big points for me: I want to build a little rapport. I want them to trust me. I want them to feel empowered,” he says. From memorizing juror names to building credibility before discussing damages, Kurt describes strategies that he’s leveraged to secure victories like his $16 million premises liability verdict in Colorado, the state’s largest.  Learn More and Connect ☑️ Kurt Zaner | LinkedIn ☑️ Zaner Law | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok ☑️ Harry Plotkin | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram ☑️ Dan Kramer   | LinkedIn   ☑️ Kramer Trial Lawyers on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram ☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Produced and Powered by LawPods Episode sponsored by Baldwin Settlements and Verdict Videos .
