Despite no visible imaging evidence, Holt masterfully focused on telling the human story—highlighting the profound impact the injury had on his client’s life. Over the course of the 8-week trial, he balanced medical facts with compelling testimony from witnesses, including physical therapists, and emphasized the client’s lost experiences as a grandparent.

• damages presentation, and 
• the power of humanizing your client’s story.
