One of six children who’s family ran a small tavern in Western Pennsylvania, Jude lived and understood the common man.

Jude Basile has been lead counsel in more than 75 jury trials. His entire career has been devoted to trial practice. He began using focus groups in the 1980’s long before it became popular. He developed a method of trial preparation in the 1990’s of using scene setting, role reversal, reflective listening, encounter, role training and sociodrama. Many lawyers claim to be trial lawyers but seldom go to trial and rarely achieve significant results.
Jude is sought after by other lawyers to share his experience and co counsel on cases. Jude has obtained one of the largest wrongful death verdicts in the history of California. He has an 8 figure verdict against the San Diego Police Department for excessive force. His trial results surpass many if not most of lawyers that claim to be “trial lawyers”
