HOW WE WORK
We Assign a "Dream Team" to Your Case
As a trial attorney, you know that experienced trial consultants, skilled graphic artists, crackerjack hot seat operators, and other litigation professionals can make a big impact in court. You also know your client has a budget. Our goal is simply to offer you topflight trial consulting at a price your clients can afford.
We begin by selecting a "Dream Team" of highly experienced litigation support professionals who are carefully matched by skill, talent, and service offerings to the specific demands of your case. You'd be hard-pressed to find so many experts under any one roof, but we make working with us just as easy as if you had.
We direct the Dream Team's efforts, supervise their work, and manage their time, but submit only one invoice to you. That way, you get the highly skilled, professional team you need without the administrative hassle of managing multiple subcontractors, processing a pile of invoices, and subsidizing corporate overhead and employee benefits in every bill.
Best of all, we don't send marketing personnel to your office. We come prepared to work. We ask potential clients to send us case pleadings before we meet (we'll sign NDA's if you wish) so that we arrive fully prepared and ready to provide you with valuable insight and guidance right from the start.
We'll help you develop compelling case narratives and themes, help you outline a graphics strategy that drives your critical arguments home, and most importantly, help you see your case through jurors' eyes. And if, after that first meeting, you decide to hire us (and we think you will!), we'll bill only for the time we spent reviewing your file. Your first consultation is free.
Once hired, we'll begin each engagement by defining both a clear scope of work and a realistic production schedule. That way, we ensure that we'll meet all of your trial consulting needs, make all of your court deadlines, and stay within your budget.
It is well documented that compelling case stories and persuasive trial graphics truly help you win, but the most effective ones take time to create. So call us early in the litigation lifecycle. That way, we'll have time to help you determine which case story will be most persuasive, and you'll be able to give both our team and yours enough time to weigh all of our options, choose the best plan of attack, and do exceptional work.
Yes, cases frequently settle, and clients are often reluctant to spend money on trial consultants, graphic artists, or anything else unless they're sure the case is going to court.
But in our experience, it's much more cost-effective to be well prepared for the challenge that doesn't come, than to be ill-prepared for the one that does. Why? Because being ill- prepared greatly increases your risk of losing, and losing can cost you everything.
