“It is not easy to get substantial damage awards from Montana jurors,” says John Heenan of Billings-based Heenan & Cook. Yet conservative Montana jurors awarded $27.7 million in his negligence case against a private prison company. As he tells host Ben Gideon: “I love being in front of Montana juries, but I have developed a way…” Tune in for John’s “magic formula” that turns good verdicts into great ones. In this case, he had every ingredient, including a client who presented well and a mean-spirited defense whose bullying didn’t sit well with jurors.
