About this program

The diagnosis on the chart changes, but the scheme rarely does. Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, alcohol-related decline, post-surgical confusion: each opens the same door for the same exploitation, and the trust litigator who recognizes the pattern can name it from the first phone call. Taught through real California cases, this program walks attorneys from intake through trial with Michael A. Hackard and Matthew D. Davis. Together they show how to build a parallel civil and probate architecture, why the civil filing puts a jury trial on the table, and how to cross-examine the drafting attorney as the percipient witness whose testimony often decides the case.
