My husband was listening to this as I happened into the room and only caught the last 10-15 minutes. I was mesmerized because we are going through some lawsuits now. Yes more than one, with the same person. Thank you for putting this on here. I will definitely be watching your others to see what I can glean from them.

Thank you for explaining your style. I agree that the introduction “old school style is old!” l guess l assumed it was proper as pro se. I really like the way you write persuasive sentences and get to the point. It makes the case immediately more relatable and understandable.

Thank you for being so detailed, you truly helped me understand exactly how I show should draft my motion as professionally and impactful as a Pro Se Litigant.

[mvrckmace]

This was great!
I’m not a lawyer so everything was very informative. It seems as though you’ve taken a lot of time to review your old writings and understand how you can improve your writing. Thanks for including the things that you’ve done different from past to present and why.
Good stuff! Thank you. 🙏🏽

Sir, you are terrific. I'm pro se, in of all things, a probate litigation case. Thank you for the insight, the style, and for being a dog lover. Your neighbor in South Carolina thanks you.

Thank you Mike. My father had a PH.D. In Jurisprudence and a Masters in English. Wish you could have heard his eloquent way of expressing the above in briefs, motions and at Trial.

I am not lawyer but representing myself in case. Your videos are amazing. Thanks!!

[louieverrill]

I'm not a lawyer but thought it was extremely well formated formulated also I agree about "old English" style is just out dated. Proper and persuasive, nice presentation

[multijanni]

totally agree that motions, in fact next to all submissions, should be written from the point of view of the substance and merits of YOUR case, not the opponent's. otherwise, like in sports, you're playing according to the playbook and rhythm of the other team. and also you might inadvertently entirely neglect important points in your favor. that includes using your own terminology, avoiding labels and subtle biases e.g. through specific wordings and implied meanings of the other side. it's also important to avoid inadvertently conceding facts and circumstances at the basis of the opponent's arguments, by only superficially focusing on the arguments, if those arguments are actually overtly or implicitly based on flawed foundations.
motions are also, particularly when the case may not be going so well for whatever reason, very important for the appeals stage. motions reasonably not granted could be grounds for appeals, particularly when it's evident that new relevant aspects/materials or arguments are prevented from being introduced into the case.

Excellent analysis. I'm Jeff Cook from 5:18-cv-01436-KK April 2022 Jeff Cook (Pro Se) v San Bernardino sheriff. I sued the sheriff for 4th Amendment violations and had a great filing attorney for the first two years. The SBDA, of course, tried to drag the case out as long as possible, it happened in 2017! If I had filed motions for everything that the DA did that was illegal, the case would never have come to trial. I had a Pretrial determination that specific dash cams from two sheriff vehicles were admissible, but the DA never provided those recordings.

This information was very helpful. Inplan to use it in my case as a Plaintiff, pro se.

[MattBuysHouse]

good info, I had a head injury at a major event in Orlando Florida on commercial premises in a building soon to be torn, and I was introduced to how poor the communication, confusion and incompetent attorneys are when a case is not cut and dry. particularly premises liability. I do not trust lawyers; licensed liars.
