Trial Consulting
My practice area is the courtroom. I serve clients with triable matters and stories to tell. And as a trial attorney, I have built my reputation by focusing my work on live advocacy in any forum. I specialize in persuasive, oral argumentation and analyzing the psychology of jurists and jurors, the import of evidentiary rules, and the details of forum procedure.
When your firm is going to trial, your clients need to know they can depend on your staff to provide the specialization that trial work requires. No doubt, you are a skillful attorney in your substantive practice area. But trial work is distinctly different from other forms of lawyering. And winning at trial requires the mastery of skills infrequently used by most litigators – because even the best lawyers often lack trial experience. As a trial specialist, I can add depth to your courtroom bench. And I would be honored to serve in a consulting capacity to your team or as contract trial counsel.
