    Hi, I appreciate the videos but the music is quite loud and distracting in the audio mix.

    Yes, I've gotten that comment before! Which is why, on newer videos, the music is gone!

    Hi. I appreciate the video. What is the best way to contact you for help with prep? I am coming back to the courtroom after a long layoff and could use direction.

    Hi Eric! I only coach and give advice to mock trial teams and competitors. I’m unable to assist with actual litigation.
