Inside Trial Minds
Michael Karp and Robert Welcenbach have built Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin into one of the state's most formidable trial practices, earning reputations as relentless advocates and record-setting courtroom leaders. Together, they've secured multimillion-dollar verdicts, taken on some of the most powerful corporations and insurers in the country, and proven time and again that justice belongs to those willing to fight for it. Karp is known for delivering groundbreaking verdicts through relentless preparation, bold strategy, and an unshakable belief in the power of a jury. Welcenbach has achieved landmark results of his own, defined by fearless advocacy, tactical precision, and a career-long dedication to standing with victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death. Each brings a distinct style — but both share the same uncompromising commitment to their clients. Now, for the first time, they step into the spotlight together. In 60 Minutes: Inside Trial Minds, Michael and Robert reveal the strategies, discipline, and courtroom instincts that drive their success — and the principles that have shaped their extraordinary careers. Their story was entrusted to The Casely Group's video team, including a producer with a TV show on HBO Max and a co-producer behind Jack Daniel's Super Bowl commercials. With the same mastery and preparation that define their victories in the courtroom, the team brought their journey to life in a production worthy of their legacy.
