Don't Eat the Bruises: How to Foil Their Plans to Spoil Your Case

Unlike approaches that require attorneys to cram evidence into a one-size-fits-all template, Mr. Mitnik’s framework can be integrated with any case’s nuances. This innovative approach will change the way you try cases.

Warning—reading this book will make you want to try more cases! Mitnik has shoehorned decades of experience into deceptively simple strategies for any personal injury case—big or small. This book is for any lawyer ready to turn down the insurance company’s next low-ball settlement offer and seek justice in a courtroom.

Keith Mitnik is an ‘in the courtroom’ trial lawyer. He is encouraging us all to realize we can be the same. This is going to be my firm’s new handbook!

Don’t Eat The Bruises is the A-to-Z guide on selecting a jury and trying a case. After reading this book, I incorporated Keith’s strategies into my practice and I will never pick a jury the same way again.

Keith lives in courtrooms. His ideas on jury selection, opening, and burden of proof are original, practical, and usable in your next trial.

I have known Keith Mitnik for one thing—going to trial. Keith has condensed his years of experience into a readable and informative book that will benefit every trial lawyer.

Keith is a killer, and his book is a compendium of killer concepts. There are brand-new ideas borne of painstaking devotion and remakes of tried and true techniques that shine as new. For years I’ve sought and used his guidance at trial, now you can too.

Keith Mitnik is the kind of down-home trial lawyer who comes along once in a lifetime. He doesn’t just try cases, he knows how to teach trial lawyers to win.

I was fortunate to learn Keith’s techniques right out of law school. I went from a ‘baby lawyer’ to a real threat. I’ve tried eighteen cases to verdict in four years and only lost one. I credit much of my success to Keith’s systems. The best part is it works on all cases, not just the big ones.

After seven years of practicing law without Keith’s concepts, I began learning and implementing them. Shortly thereafter, I obtained a $2.9 million verdict that would not have been possible without Keith’s teachings.

He got seven-figure verdicts, then eight-figure verdicts. They just keep coming, and I have had a front row seat for twenty years. He has a secret sauce that he has bottled just for us with this book. Try it. You’ll like it.

As a jury consultant who works all over the country with some of the best lawyers in the business, I can tell you Keith Mitnik is one of those rare talents that comes along every decade or so. If Mitnik wrote it, you would be wise to read it.

I was lucky enough to have Keith teach me how to become a lawyer right out of law school. The lessons in this book armed me with the confidence to try any case. His methods allowed me to become one of the youngest board-certified civil trial lawyers in the history of Florida.

Keith Mitnik’s Don’t Eat the Bruises is destined to be a masterwork in the pantheon of trial practice literature. It’s a must-read, must-use, must-reread manual on the righteous fight!
