With over 20 years of experience and a background in psychology, Plotkin has consulted on some of the largest plaintiff verdicts in the country, including the recent landmark Sanchez case in New Mexico.

Brendan Lupetin discussed the case with the victim’s attorneys on Just Verdicts podcast episode 49.
