Renowned trial lawyer and CEO of the Oliver Law Firm, Sach Oliver, announces the release of his highly anticipated book, Depositions Are Trial, published by AAJ (American Association for Justice®). This comprehensive guide is designed to elevate trial lawyers' skills by transforming the way they approach depositions, treating each one as pivotal as a courtroom trial.
Depositions Are Trial equips legal professionals with practical strategies to enhance preparation and execution during depositions. Sach Oliver, drawing from his extensive experience in catastrophic injury and death cases, particularly in 18-wheeler and construction work site litigation, offers actionable insights into goal setting, strategic planning, and effective storytelling through depositions.
“Sach Oliver is as authentic as his belt buckle and the mud on his boots. He is the next generation’s Gerry Spence in both his success in the courtroom and passion for teaching. Having personally witnessed Sach’s success in verdicts and settlements, I was thrilled he was willing to share the methods behind his success. Depositions Are Trial is done in a thoughtful style. Along with its accompanying samples and templates, Sach shares a system that attorneys with a variety of experience can follow to create their own victories.”
—Sean T. Keith, named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers
“Sach Oliver and I first met when I was running a national product liability practice, and he was still in law school. It was clear he was a special person. He started winning jury trials right off. I try to go to any seminar he teaches. I sit and visit with him around campfires to ask him about his Depositions Are Trial philosophy. He has convinced me. Now he has written it down! I can take it home and study it. I am more than 20 years older than him, but I have said for over 15 years, ‘When I grow up, I want to be Sach Oliver.’”
—Paul Byrd, past president of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association
“Depositions Are Trial is a book every trial lawyer should have in their library, mind, and while deposition planning. I have been a trial lawyer for more than 50 years, but when you get too old to learn, it is time to retire. This book is a great teaching tool, and I will implement its concepts immediately.”
—Bobby McDaniel, past president of Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association
