You’re Not Dealing With a Difficult Person—You’re Dealing With THIS Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

If you’re facing someone who keeps moving the goalposts, throwing unrelated accusations, recruiting “flying monkeys,” contradicting their own statements, and escalating every attempt at resolution, you may not be dealing with a merely difficult person—you may be dealing with a high-conflict personality. In this powerful conversation, Rebecca Zung, The Leverage Lawyer, interviews Lindsey Shneyder about the five diagnostic signs that reveal when a difficult opponent has crossed into high-conflict territory and why using normal “reasonable person” strategies can actually make your situation worse. Together, they explore shifting demands, unrelated accusations, triangulation and distributed campaigns, contradictions across emails, texts, court filings and sworn statements, and the pattern of escalation that can turn every attempt at resolution into more conflict. Most importantly, Rebecca explains the strategic shift that changes everything: stop trying to convince, stop defending, stop chasing resolution—and start strategizing, using leverage, and becoming undeniable.

Listen to This Before You Use AI to Research Your Court Case Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

If you’re using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another AI tool during a litigation or court case, what you paste into it could become a much bigger issue than you realize. In this video, Rebecca Zung, The Leverage Lawyer and a trial lawyer with 25 years of experience, explains the critical line between using AI as a powerful litigation preparation tool and accidentally exposing confidential case information, attorney-client communications, work product, financial records, or information covered by a protective order. She also explains why AI-generated legal citations can be completely fabricated, how opposing counsel may seek information about the AI tools you use, what you can safely use AI for, why you should tell your attorney how you're using it, and the extra precautions necessary if you're representing yourself. The key takeaway: use AI for knowledge, preparation, and public information—but never let an AI-generated answer go into a legal filing without your lawyer reviewing it first. #RebeccaZung #AIandLaw #ChatGPT #LegalAI #Litigation #CourtCase #LegalStrategy #AttorneyClientPrivilege #Discovery #LegalTech #ArtificialIntelligence #Divorce #HighConflictDivorce #SelfRepresented #ProSe #Leverage #SlayAI 👉 Turn your scattered documentation into LEVERAGE instantly.

How to Win a Negotiation Against Someone Who Lies Aug 23, 2026

Show notes

If you’re dealing with a high-conflict liar, being reasonable may be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this video, Rebecca Zung, The Leverage Lawyer, breaks down the five signs that separate a truly difficult opponent from a high-conflict personality: moving goalposts, unrelated accusations, recruiting third parties, contradictions in the record, and escalation as the default. She explains why good-faith concessions can become a performance loop, how “flying monkeys” and triangulation can turn a personal dispute into a wider campaign, why contradictory emails, texts, court filings, and statements can become powerful evidence, and what to do when every attempt to de-escalate creates more conflict. Most importantly, Rebecca shows you how to stop using the “reasonable person” playbook, stop trying to convince or defend yourself, and start strategizing, building leverage, and becoming undeniable.
