Every trial team needs an advocate, but the smartest ones also need a skeptic. The most valuable voice in high-stakes litigation may be the one that's least invested in the outcome. In today's episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo explains why the best litigation strategy often begins with an objective perspective. He explores how a neutral appellate specialist can add value at five critical stages of a case, helping trial teams preserve the record, realistically assess settlement opportunities, and avoid strategic mistakes before they're locked in. Jack also examines the unforgiving math behind appeals, why standards of review often matter more than the underlying merits of a case, and how data-driven judgment can overcome the blind spots created by years of advocacy. In litigation, objectivity isn't a luxury; it may be your greatest competitive advantage.
