Educator
Trial Lawyer. Trial Advocacy Educator.
For more than fifteen years, Reza has taught trial advocacy while maintaining an active litigation practice. He currently serves as the Director of Persuasion and Advocacy and Director of Mock Trial Teams at Seton Hall Law School. He previously served as Director of Trial Advocacy at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law and teaches practicing attorneys through the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA).
Teaching advocacy has reinforced a lesson learned through years of trying cases: successful advocacy begins long before opening statements. It begins with careful preparation, thoughtful strategy, and a clear understanding of the facts. Those same principles guide every case he handles.
Philosophy
Preparation is more than getting ready for trial. It is the foundation of every successful case.
Reza believes clients deserve honest advice, clear communication, and an attorney who is personally invested in their case. Whether a matter resolves through negotiation or proceeds to trial, every case is prepared with the same care, discipline, and attention to detail.
