Running with the Bulls: How to Win Top Dollar Settlements

Once again, Nick Rowley brings his Trial by Human approach to help all of us more effectively represent our clients. This book is a tremendous source of information on settlements, and it also provides a few great trial tips along the way. It’s a great book for lawyers of all experience levels and has everything from a basic step-by-step guide to effective settlement demand letters, all the way to firsthand stories about fascinating behind-the-scenes negotiations on multimillion-dollar settlements. This is a great opportunity to learn how to achieve the highest possible settlements for your clients.

I have read dozens of books on how to try cases, but this is the first one I have ever read about settling cases, even though that is how most cases are resolved. This is a particularly useful resource for all lawyers, new or old, and whatever your area of litigation. It tells you what to do and how to do it, when, and why. Filled with examples and samples, it comes from the unique perspective of two people who have successfully handled cases all across the country, both with eight-figure verdicts and settlements by the dozens. I did not know what I did not know. Now I do. It is wonderful that they are willing to share their secrets with the rest of us.

Every generation has a handful of trial lawyers who reach star status. Nick and Courtney Rowley are their generation’s first superstars. This book by Nick and Courtney does something remarkable—it lays out how to get the peace of settlement for your clients without sacrificing the value that justice requires.

With high energy and creativity, Nick and Courtney map out how to get those astronomically high settlements they have made a regular part of their world.

Nick Rowley is a phenomenal trial lawyer—he established himself at a relatively early stage in his career as one of the best in America. Trial by Human has become part of my personal library. Now, with Running with the Bulls, Nick and Courtney Rowley have created a work that should be required reading for anyone who advocates for people in the civil justice system. This book conveys the value of self-examination, creative thinking, and early case framing. It’s a fast read—teaching so much more than how to try our cases better.

This is the book you’ve been waiting for. A play-by-play guide to the time-tested methods the Rowleys use to get big settlements, along with all the insights you need to make these methods work for you. This book does everything but settle your cases for you. This is a must-read.

Running with the Bulls is THE blueprint for putting pressure on the defense that results in the surrender of top-dollar settlements. Settling cases is a separate form of art and combat that calls for a separate methodology. Running with the Bulls teaches that methodology.

Time and again, Nick and Courtney Rowley have proven themselves masters at getting the absolute best results for their clients inside the courtroom with record-setting verdicts nationwide. Now, learn their cutting-edge, proven approach to settlement negotiations and how they get the best results for clients outside the courtroom as well. With this book, you will rethink your approach to settlement.

This is a game changer. The strategies and techniques taught in Running with the Bulls really work, I’ve seen Nick and Courtney’s strategies implemented in real-time on a case we did together that went from the defendants offering nothing to paying over $10 million. The leverage exerted and chaos resulting from their strategies are a joy to watch. After forty years in practice, I have learned how to do better for my clients.
