The Lost Art of Settlement Conversations May 07, 2026

Show notes

Nick Moraitakis has seen mediation evolve from both sides of the courtroom and now as a full-time mediator.

In this short clip, he shares a concern about modern litigation: lawyers are often getting to mediation before they have had serious settlement conversations with each other. That shift, he explains, puts more pressure on the mediation process and can make resolution harder than it needs to be.

When the Expert Realized the Math Was Wrong Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

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 Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

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.
