Welcome back to Impact Without Limits. In the last episode, Dale and Brian discussed filing a notice of appeal. However, this didn't halt the other proceedings. The plaintiff, anticipating the appeal would favor ForeverLawn, hired an attorney in Ohio to collect the money before the appeal could be processed. With the help of a trusted attorney, the brothers managed to file a motion with the Ohio court, staying the proceedings until the appeal's outcome was determined.

Despite this temporary relief, the plaintiff launched a series of lawsuits against ForeverLawn, Dale, Brian, their wives, and numerous business associates. The brothers brought on a new attorney, who joined the chorus advising them to file for bankruptcy. Although the stay in Ohio provided brief relief, it also triggered a fresh wave of legal battles.

Tune in to this episode to hear how Dale and Brian navigated these challenges and continued to push forward.

Episode Highlights:

The ‘stay’ in Ohio.
Temporary relief.
A wave of new lawsuits.

S3 E18: The Big Decision: Mistrial or Jury? Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

Imagine this: You’re taken to court on false accusations. The proceedings begin, and your accuser takes their time presenting their case against you. It's been a disaster for them—they even requested a mistrial, which was denied. Finally, on Wednesday, it's your turn to defend yourself, but the judge warns that if the case isn’t handed over to the jury by the following Tuesday, he will declare a mistrial.

You still have eager witnesses ready to testify, but with the plaintiff’s attorney trying to 'run out the clock,' you realize the only way to avoid a mistrial is to rest your case. You know you’re innocent, but you also understand the looming risk of continuing to try to prove it.

What would you do?

This is the exact predicament the brothers face in this episode. As Brian typed in an email update to their family, 'Day 11: The rollercoaster ride continues.'

Hop on and turn up the volume; this one is a wild ride!

Episode Highlights:

The rollercoaster ride continues.
The blueprint for mistrial.
Dealer on the stand.
Mistrial or jury?
The cross-claim.
Spring break with the family.

S3 E17: The 1-2 Punch May 27, 2024

After wrapping up 10 days of trial, Dale and Brian were just getting a chance to build their case. Brian was eager to take the stand, yet they opted for a strategic decision: refraining from placing him on the stand to avoid providing an opportunity for cross-examination that might delve into sensitive financial matters.

They brought in their number one dealer as a witness. As they prepared for court, the dealer said he needed to talk and divulged some disappointing news they weren't expecting. The news came as a hard pill to swallow, especially considering this was their second top performing dealer in a year to pull the rug from under them. It was a 1-2 punch they were't prepared for.

Curious about their response to this twist and the subsequent events? Tune in to unravel the unfolding story.

Episode Highlights:

Building the case.
Hot-tub woes.
Gut punches flying.

Step into the courtroom chaos in today's episode as the plaintiff's attorney digs through papers while a witness waits impatiently on the stand.
