LITIGATION CONSULTING

Don't Go Into Battle Alone

A trial is a battle. The stakes are high, because in the courtroom, there are no do-overs. You only get one chance to present your case — one shot to win it all. 

That’s why a lawyer must get everything right the first time. 

Fortunately, you do have options as you prepare for trial. You don’t have to go into battle blindly. 

I have decades of litigation experience and dozens of trials under my belt. I can analyze your case and help you develop a strategy to optimize your odds of persuading a judge or jury to find in your favor. 

As your litigation consultant, I can provide you with the benefit of my years of experience, legal knowledge and skill.

How I Can Help Strengthen Your Case

Litigation consulting can take many forms. There are several ways I can assist you as you prepare for trial. 

Developing a Persuasive Message

I can help you develop a story that will persuade a judge or jury to listen to your legal arguments. Equally important, I will work with you to refine your legal arguments so that they are clear to the judge or jury and are secure on appeal. 

Preparing Witnesses

I can help you develop the questions you need to get the right testimony from your witnesses. I can also help your witnesses understand their role in your case so that they can give focused testimony and withstand fierce cross-examination in advance of contested proceedings. 

Conducting Mock Trials

I have tried dozens of cases and can provide you with a ready-made first-chair opponent for mock trials and peer reviews so that you can test your arguments and strategy before going to court. 

Guiding You in Jury Selection

I can use my extensive trial experience to assist you in developing questions that will help you pick the right jury for your case. 

Observing and Advising in Real Time

Once your trial starts, I can observe and report to you during the proceedings. You can use this feedback to refine your case in real time. 

Together, We Can Prevail

Having the law and facts on your side might not be enough to win your case. You also need to develop the evidence and present it persuasively. Contact me to learn how I can help you.

I have established this firm with the goal of becoming a resource and, in doing so, recognize that each case is different. I am pleased to have the ability to develop a fee structure that meets the needs of a particular case.
