Litigation Consulting Services

Transforming complex evidence into Persuasive Narratives

I work with trial attorneys on high-risk cases to develop memorable case themes and narratives that are persuasive and help jurors understand complex evidence and the law they are asked to apply to reach a verdict.

I apply my expertise in judgment and decision making, empirical research, and 25+ years of consulting experience to help bridge communication between trial attorneys and jurors and other dispute decision makers. This work can also help trial teams make more informed decisions about pursuing litigation versus settlement.
 

I have consulted on a broad range of cases, in both state and federal courts across the U.S. This has included work on both the plaintiff and defense side.  The areas of litigation have included contract disputes, complex commercial litigation, antitrust, insurance disputes, estate and trust disputes, white collar crime, product liability, patent/IP disputes, medical malpractice and legal malpractice litigation. 
In addition, I have experience consulting on MDL cases.
