Elite Trial Lawyer Development

 

Our mission is to help plaintiff trial attorneys stop measuring their worth by the size of their verdicts through courtroom skills training, coaching, and community.

Through the H2H Method™, civil plaintiff and criminal defense lawyers build their trial skills, confidence, and presence—without fear-based lawyering, ego contests, or performative bullshit.

What is The H2H Method™?

Most trial education focuses on scripts, strategies, and war stories. We focus on something far more powerful: how jurors experience you.

The H2H Method™, created by acclaimed trial consultant and From Hostage to Hero author Sari de la Motte, is a proven framework trusted by plaintiff attorneys nationwide. We move you past the theory and into the psychology of courtroom connection.

Through trial-skills-based training, mindset conditioning, and real-world application, we help you strip away fear, posturing, and over-preparation. What’s left? Unshakeable clarity, authentic presence, and commanding authority—inside the courtroom and out.

Bring your current case, learn our winning 9-part H2H Opening Template™, and leave with an opening statement you can take straight to trial.

“I first met Sari when she presented at an Inner Circle of Advocates meeting. I’ve now had the privilege of working with Sari on multiple cases and have never been disappointed by the value she adds. Effective and authentic communication, particularly in today’s day and age, is paramount.”

—John Coletti
Member of the Inner Circle of Advocates and International Society of Barristers

“Spending two days immersed in trial advocacy practice with constant feedback is invaluable. In the closing masterclass, you are given the opportunity to practice the craft, try new skills, and hone your content and delivery. The feedback from Sari, Kevin, and the other participants is invaluable. This class has it all from nonverbals to content creation. Top notch.”

—Brian Turner
Personal injury attorney in Sacramento, California

“Sari has opened my eyes to a better way to connect with the jury. Working with her helped me improve my mindset, inner self-worth, and inner self-confidence. I believe H2H will change your practice, your outlook on life and cases. You’ll feel more free. You’ll feel more confident.”
