🎙 Episode 6: Relentless in the Courtroom – Catastrophic Injury & Camp Lejeune Litigation
Guest: Alejandro Blanco, Trial Lawyer

In this powerful episode of Verdicts & Vogue, Cristina Perez Hesano sits down with trial lawyer Alejandro Blanco for a raw, thought-provoking conversation that spans the personal, the professional, and the deeply human.

Alejandro opens up about his journey from medicine-aspiring son of a doctor to one of the nation's most respected catastrophic injury and brain injury attorneys. With four decades of legal experience, his perspective goes beyond strategy—anchored in emotional truth, courtroom vulnerability, and what it means to advocate for the dignity of others.

From his early days to his impactful present, Alejandro shares how personal experience with hearing loss shaped his empathy and sharpened his focus on neurological dysfunction and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). He recalls landmark cases—including a $25 million verdict—where he found himself in a “portal” with the jury, describing a surreal connection forged through emotional authenticity and self-awareness.

In this episode, Alejandro and Cristina dissect:

  • The Art of Trial Advocacy: Why real connection—not theatrics—wins juries, and how understanding your own biases and vulnerabilities is the key to truth-telling in court.

  • The Invisible Toll of TBIs: From auditory dysfunctions to hallucinations and post-traumatic stress, Alejandro breaks down how brain injury victims live through devastating symptoms—often unseen by the world around them.

  • Technology in the Courtroom: Using immersive visuals and client-triggered demonstrations, Alejandro explains how he helps juries experience what his clients live with—turning complex neurological diagnoses into stories of real, daily impact.

  • Life After Injury: Beyond verdicts, he reflects on what clients truly want—dignity, normalcy, and the chance to live a life that still feels their own.

They also dive into Alejandro’s current leadership role in the Camp Lejeune litigation, where he advocates for thousands of veterans and civilians suffering from Parkinson’s and other neurological damage tied to water contamination. His work continues to be a voice for those whose injuries have robbed them of stability, peace, and recognition.

And it’s not just about law. Alejandro gives listeners a glimpse into his personal life—his marriage, his daughters, his Argentine roots, and the comfort of fresh-baked chipa bread. His wisdom is grounded, his words exact, and his mission clear: help others live with dignity, especially when the world has taken so much from them.

This episode is a masterclass in courtroom presence, medical storytelling, and legal compassion. Whether you’re an attorney, advocate, or someone navigating life after trauma, Alejandro’s insights will leave a lasting mark.
