Joseph Kotrie-Monson, is a criminal defence lawyer defending in the world’s most serious cases, from the FBI‘s investigation of Cambridge Analytica for influencing the US Presidential Elections on Facebook, to the horrific Grenfell Tower Fire Tragedy.

But how does Joseph tell the difference, and what does he do with that knowledge? How can he represent someone if he suspects they’re guilty? Join him as he shares with you the tools courts use to figure out what really happened, and the techniques lawyers use to win in court. The markers he will share with you, might just help you keep yourself safer too.
