When the Expert Realized the Math Was Wrong

What happens when an expert realizes, under oath, that the math behind a key design does not hold up?

In this clip, Nick Moraitakis recounts a remarkable deposition from the case involving Atlanta’s 1993 sinkhole disaster. What seemed highly technical became a turning point when careful preparation exposed a series of errors the expert could no longer defend.

It is a sharp reminder that major cases are not won by headlines alone. They are won through discipline, detail, and the ability to keep digging until the truth surfaces.

“Obvious” Cases Are Not Easy Cases

Today's clip captures an important moment in the conversation with Nick Moraitakis.

After hearing Nick describe the legal and factual obstacles behind the Katherine Johnston case and the Atlanta sinkhole disaster, Lester steps in to make the larger point: cases that look obvious to the public are often anything but easy in court.

That is what this clip is really about.

It is not just praise for trial lawyers. It is a reminder that justice often depends on someone being able to cut through legal defenses, disputed facts, and organized efforts to avoid responsibility.

Are Fewer Trials Weakening Lawyer Training?

What happens when fewer cases actually go to trial?

In today's clip from the See You In Court Podcast, Nick Moraitakis shares a concern shaped by decades in the courtroom. Many smaller cases are no longer being tried, and that shift may be limiting how younger lawyers gain real experience.

He breaks down two very different training models. One where lawyers gradually earn their way into the courtroom, and another where they are expected to handle cases early and often.

That difference matters. Trial skills are not theoretical. They are built through repetition, pressure, and real-world outcomes.

This clip offers a glimpse into a broader conversation about how the legal profession is evolving and what it could mean for clients, lawyers, and the civil justice system as a whole.

What is a case really worth?

In today's clip from the See You In Court Podcast, Nick Moraitakis shares a perspective shaped by decades in both trial law and mediation. Case value is not a fixed number. It lives between two moving targets: what the defense is willing to pay and what the plaintiff is willing to accept.

Nick explains how experienced attorneys read signals, test positions, and guide conversations to uncover where both sides are truly headed. It is a strategic process built on timing, insight, and understanding people as much as the law.

This short clip offers a glimpse into how cases are resolved behind the scenes. The full episode dives deeper into Nick’s career, his transition from defense to plaintiff work, and his evolution into a full-time mediator helping parties find resolution.
