Find your opposing witnesses’ kryptonite.
Work out the kinks of your cross, without the consequences.

Why Cross Rehearsal Room?
You’re up against “Goliaths.” It’s you vs. ALL OF THEM. No matter how many hours you put in, they’ll always have more manpower AND more resources. They’ll stop at nothing to intimidate you because they’re banking on you to fold and leave money on the table– even when the facts are on your side!
But what the other guys don’t know is… you want the best possible outcome for your client and you’re not backing down.
We’ve created an exclusive program to help you maximize your trial prep hours, boost your confidence and get you ready for whatever the big guns throw at you.
Who teaches
Cross Rehearsal Room?
Cross Rehearsal Room is co-created and led by Steve Hohman and Olivia Espinosa.
We’ve been cross-examined over 1,200 times by attorneys across 30 states, Canada and the UK. Acting as witnesses is our specialty- providing consultation on cases leading to over $27 MILLION in verdicts since 2022.
We’re not cookie cutter trial consultants. As career theater artists and storytellers, our #1 goal to be an advocate for voices that need to be heard. And we’re passionate about working with attorneys who have the same mission.
We know how much you care about your client’s and their future. When you’re going from case to case, always treading water, we want to help you be the best advocate you can be for your client.

Frequently asked questions…
We’re not lawyers. Isn’t that refreshing? In fact, your jury members are almost never lawyers, either. So it’s just as valuable to get non-lawyers input. As actors we’re in the business of understanding how we affect an audience. We’ll let you in on how you make your witness and fact-finder feel, so you don’t have to wait until deliberation.
Do you have a past witness that haunts you at night? Well, don’t let those experiences hold you back. This is your chance to revisit and conquer those demons!
Absolutely. This workshop is part of your preparation. It’s a great way to see how seasoned lawyers approach your case, as well as their own. Additionally, you’ll be challenged to prepare crosses for two other cases. The amount of realistic live cross-examination experience you’ll get in this class is a great way to shake off any first trial jitters and find the best way to serve your client.
Steve and Olivia have been cross-examined over 1,200 times. As career actors, we have extensive experience creating characters based on real people. We have one goal- to make it realistic. We look for specific details that help us understand motivation and ethical boundaries, so we can anticipate how a witness will naturally react to your tactics.
“Steve and Olivia, this is a profound service you all provide. Your range of characters, personalities and behaviors are off the charts. You guys are game-changers!”- Mike S., Personal Injury Lawyer, Atlanta, GA
Although it’s ultimately the lawyer’s responsibility to disguise any sensitive information, we strongly suggest changing the identities and specific details of your case to ensure the confidentiality.
Initially you’ll supply us with the details of your case and any helpful documents. We’ll then create a synopsis to share with the other attorneys in the class. During the course you’ll workshop 2 other crosses in addition to your own. Each participant is expected to prepare and perform a 15-minute cross-examination for every case. One session is also dedicated to presenting up to 10-minutes of your opening statement or closing argument.
Cancellation Policy: Once a participant is registered with payment, any cancellations made 30-10 days prior to the workshop date will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations less than 10 days prior to the workshop. However, if you change your mind within 48 hours of purchase, we will refund your full amount.
Additionally, you may be able to transfer your enrollment to another trial lawyer. Due to the small group nature of the class, the personalized scheduling, as well as the preparation for your case synopsis, we do require that any notification of a transfer is sent a minimum of 7 (seven) calendar days from the start of the session.
Due to our privacy policy for registered participants, we do not allow non-registered participants to observe or audit our workshops.
We get it. We still get nervous before performing on stage. In addition, receiving feedback from your peers can be uncomfortable. All feedback is guided to be constructive, respectful, and positive so you can feel safe and supported during the learning process. That’s our #1 priority.
Everyone in the class is there to learn and to offer advice to one another. You’ll learn just as much by watching your peers perform and you’ll want to give them the same encouraging feedback they gave you.
Although we primarily work with plaintiff’s, family, and criminal defense trial lawyers, we believe this workshop will improve any lawyer’s ability to succeed in their practice. Our participants have spanned 30 states, Canada and the UK.
Right before trial is the perfect time to take this workshop! THIS IS PART OF YOUR TRIAL PREP. We’ll be working on your real-life case (just tweaked to protect any sensitive info). The feedback you’ll receive can be applied immediately so you can avoid making costly mistakes at trial.
Yes! Just like depositions or trials via Zoom have become an effective way to conduct your practice, so has learning trial skills.

Plus, you can meet attorneys from all over the country!
Check out these quotes from participants about the zoom environment:
I like seeing other attorneys from other areas work and learning from their feedback–new faces and voices instead of local colleagues.- Fred B., Kansas City, MO
People complain about Zoom, but I think it’s great! It’s the platform where busy lawyers can fit workshops and feedback sessions into their schedules.- Susie I., Berkeley, CA
Yeah, as much as I enjoy the in-person stuff, I can’t travel as much anymore and need to warm up to Zoom as a ‘reasonable accommodation.’ And frankly, the HOI teaching, coaching, and mentoring is very engaging via Zoom.- Kevin K., Northampton, MA
Absolutely! We offer one-on-one coaching based on your unique schedule. Please contact Olivia@hausimprov.com for more details.
