Trial Consultants/ Technicians


Our trial consultants are experts who will help your team prepare for trial well before it starts. We will work closely with you to ensure that your exhibits, video depositions, graphics, etc. are ready for presentation during trial. They actively offer suggestions at every stage of trial, from how to scan your documents, how to review designated video depositions, and what equipment should be used at trial.

Each of our consultants has over a 100 trials under their belt, as well as mediations, arbitrations, hearings, and focus groups. They know from experience that these presentations require flexibility, responsiveness, and the ability to work on the fly. Having a Midwest Trial Consultant on your team means we will take care of all presentation elements; leaving you to focus on what’s important, making your case.

We also have the ability to make last-minute changes to your video designations. For example: Due to rulings by the court during side bar. Something you cannot do with a pre-edited DVD.

Document and graphic display
During trial, we can easily bring up any document or graphic, simply by typing in its exhibit number. We can annotate, highlight and zoom into portions of the documents immediately, making sure never to break stride with your questioning of the witness.

If needed, deleting any of the annotations is fast and easy giving you a clean slate for your next witness.
