Medical malpractice trials are often cast as a “battle of the experts.” But in this case, Marijo Adimey showed that the most powerful evidence isn’t just expert testimony—it’s the story jurors can see for themselves. Through complex imaging, careful cross-examination, and relentless preparation, she proved that “the treating doctor’s note in the patient’s chart cannot be right,” guiding a Nassau County jury to a record-setting $60M verdict. In this episode of Trial Bible, host Gennady Voldz unpacks how Marijo turned a tragic spinal infarct after a routine procedure into a case study in storytelling: ruling out every alternative cause, simplifying complex medicine into visuals jurors could understand, and connecting them emotionally to a family’s lifelong struggle. Along the way, Marijo shares candid lessons about reputation, credibility, and thriving as one of the few female trial lawyers in a male-dominated courtroom. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Make causation visible: Real MRIs/angiograms + clean annotations so jurors see the mechanism. Flip “sharp practice”: Convert improper argument into a credibility win. Preparation beats bias: Master every page, every image, every objection. Ask for metadata early when EMR accuracy is in play. Write depo questions for trial, verbatim—so impeachment lands cleanly. Don’t overuse ‘liar’. Show impossibility; let jurors reach the conclusion. Prep for electronics, bring blowups. Courtroom tech fails—posters don’t. Guard your emotions. If you react, channel it into structure the next morning. RESOURCES Learn More about Marjio Ademy here: https://www.gairgair.com/marijo-c-adimey.html Trial Bible is built by and for trial attorneys.
