Case and Theme Development
The key to success at trial is the development of a case and trial theme that connects with the jurors. It is not enough to present the evidence; the jury must know why they should care about and find for your client. At Ken Levine Trial Consulting we offer in depth and strategic analysis to identify the themes that the jury will understand and that will win your case whether you represent the Plaintiff or the Defendant. We rely on more than 42 years of trial practice to discover the plain language words and phrases that jurors will use when they discuss the case with each other during deliberation.
Expert Witness Preperation
Your expert witness may know the medicine, technology or other subject matter very well and still not be an effective witness at deposition or trial. The Expert Witness’s testimony at deposition or trial must be comprehensive on the subject and user friendly for the jury. If jury does not understand the important medical or other points your Expert is making, the testimony will not be effective.
At Ken Levine Trial Consulting we meet and practice with the Expert Witness to ensure their testimony is organized, effective and provided in plain language that the jury can understand and will believe.
Demonstrative Exhibits
In this world of social media, jurors expect to see graphics and demonstrative evidence that help them understand issues and arguments.
At Ken Levine Trial Consulting we perform an in-depth analysis of the case themes, elements, and evidence in your case to create simple, yet powerful, demonstrative evidence that will enable the jury to understand your case and how the pieces all fit leading to a verdict in your favor.
