Why Hire a Trial Support and Technology Company?

If you work in the legal field, you have probably heard of trial support and technology companies. Many attorneys, paralegals, and other legal professionals wonder if it is necessary to hire a trial support and technology company for an upcoming mediation, hearing, trial, or other legal proceeding. Is it worth the expense?

At TrialSpectrum, Inc., our team has worked with law firms throughout the country in a range of legal matters. We are able to accommodate budgets of all sizes and work closely with our clients to keep costs down. In fact, we manage all of our services in-house, which has two significant benefits to our clients: lower costs and excellent quality control.

You Focus on Building Arguments While We Do the Rest

Whether you represent an injured client in a medical malpractice case or frustrated homeowners in mediation in a construction litigation case, your primary focus should be on building and strengthening your legal arguments—not on how to figure out a new type of software to create a presentation.

When you meet with the team at TrialSpectrum, Inc., we will discuss your case and the points you want to make. Taking into consideration your jurisdiction, your audience, and the type of case, we will figure out which media is best for your client. For example, in some cases, an audio recording may be effective. In others, portions of a transcript should be displayed, with certain words emphasized. Depending on your goals for your case, we will help make sure that your message is delivered effectively.

Technology Glitch? No Problem!

For many attorneys, what is even more nerve-wracking than preparing for a trial is the fear that a computer or other piece of equipment will malfunction during an important argument. What if the courthouse Wi-Fi connection is weak? What if you forget a power cord? What if the video that displayed so well in your office is difficult for the jury to see and understand?

When you hire TrialSpectrum, Inc., you may rest assured that your presentation will go smoothly. We will carefully go over your exhibits with you as much as you prefer before your proceeding, and we are also happy to provide in-person support on the date of your proceeding. In many cases, we are present in the courtroom for your ease of mind, just in case any type of technological issue was to arise.

A One-Stop-Shop for Equipment and Exhibits

At TrialSpectrum, Inc., we not only prepare exhibits and other types of presentations using the latest technology—we also provide equipment rentals to our clients. If you need a projector, recording equipment, document camera, or other piece of audio or visual equipment, reach out to TrialSpectrum, Inc. today to learn about the items we have available.

We do not simply provide you with the equipment and send you away—we meet you at your venue to get everything set up and ensure that it is working properly long before your presentation is scheduled to begin. After your proceeding has concluded, we break everything down and take it back to our offices.

You simply show up, make your case, and head home at the end of the day. We handle the rest.

When you partner with TrialSpectrum, Inc., you have one contact for all your presentation and equipment needs.

How Using a Trial Support Company is Beneficial for Remote Proceedings

For much of the past year, numerous court hearings and administrative proceedings have been forced to switch to remote proceedings. During the coronavirus pandemic, these proceedings have been conducted over the internet, over closed circuit video, and even over the telephone.

Types of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, have been held over videoconference and by telephone. Depositions have been videotaped. Essentially overnight, the legal world transitioned from in-person proceedings to those that are virtual.

How can a trial support and technology company assist law firms during these unprecedented times?

Trial support and technology companies are able to assist law firms with both preparing detailed plans for legal proceedings and executing those plans.

For example, consider a wrongful death claim. The victim sustained serious injuries, but also had several preexisting conditions.

The case is set for trial. The attorneys meet with the trial support company to discuss the case and explain the arguments that they want to make to the judge and jury. The trial support company then creates graphics and other visual aids that make these arguments easy for the jury to understand.

However, the trial support company’s job does not end there—on the date of trial, members of the team are available to assist the attorney with the presentations that are made in court.

Court Proceedings During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Now, more than ever, attorneys need reliable technology for court proceedings. Very few hearings are conducted in person at this time, a trend that will likely continue for many more months.

Many attorneys are unfamiliar with the types of technology that are available for trials and hearings. Rather than deal with the stress of learning new technology and hoping that the material is properly presented on the date of a hearing, these attorneys may consult a trial support and technology company to manage this aspect of the case on their behalf.

At TrialSpectrum, Inc., our team of experts is available to help with any type of case, no matter what phase it may be in. We assist with discovery matters, such as recording depositions on video. We create trial graphics, exhibit boards, and other visual aids for the courtroom. We also provide printing services and offer audio and visual equipment rentals to our clients.

It is essential that courtroom technology work properly on the date of a legal proceeding. Judges often become impatient when their dockets run behind, and an attorney who fumbles with computer cords and monitors may appear unprepared to a jury.

However, the experts at TrialSpectrum, Inc. are available to set up and test your equipment before your hearing and remain available throughout the duration of the proceeding. If, for some reason, the courtroom Wi-Fi disconnects, for example, your TrialSpectrum, Inc. team will step in and remedy the situation as quickly as possible while you continue to address the courtroom.

High Quality Technology Products

Whether you need a deposition recorded, a map of a crime scene enlarged and printed, or an animation of a physiological process in the human body, the professionals at TrialSpectrum, Inc. can help. In addition, all products are produced in-house at TrialSpectrum, Inc. This not only cuts down on costs for our clients, but also allows us to carefully monitor the quality of our services.

When you select TrialSpectrum, Inc. to assist you with your case, you may rest assured that you will be working with a team dedicated to helping you and your clients obtain the best results possible.

Improving Your Chances of Settlement by Using a Litigation Support Company

When attorneys think about litigation support companies, they usually think of entities that assist big law firms with high profile, multimillion-dollar trials. Although litigation support companies are certainly used in these environments, they also provide valuable services in the phases leading up to trial in cases of various sizes and types.

Settling a case saves stress and money for both law firms and their clients. By building strong, compelling arguments, attorneys increase their odds of fostering a settlement, whether it occurs during mediation or during discussions with opposing counsel. In many cases, once opposing counsel sees the excellent exhibits and accompanying arguments that will be submitted to the court, settling the case becomes more desirable.

Partnering with a Litigation Support Company

Attorneys should not wait until they have trial date on the docket to hire a litigation support company. The sooner a litigation support company is consulted, the better the company is able to assist the law firm with the case.

Litigation support companies work closely with attorneys to determine what arguments should be made in a case, as well as the best approach for making those arguments. Litigation support companies take into account the jurisdiction, judge, opposing counsel, jurors, and other individuals who may impact decision-making in a case.

For example, consider a case that is scheduled for mediation. As attorneys are well aware, preparation is key to success at mediation. Preparing with a team of litigation consultants who are experienced in tailoring arguments to reach certain audiences is an even stronger approach.

Continuing the above example, opposing counsel has stated that the client is not likely to agree to a settlement. However, with the assistance of a litigation support company, detailed graphics are presented that outline the attorney’s arguments and identify weaknesses in opposing counsel’s case.

Opposing counsel knows that these graphics will likely be submitted in court, and, rather than handing the case outcome over to a judge and jury, it is decided that it is best to settle.

Additionally, once opposing counsel sees the resources that the attorney has brought to mediation, it is understood that advanced courtroom technology will likely be used in a trial. If opposing counsel does not have access to such technological tools, settlement becomes much more likely—as jurors may be much more impressed with the attorney who uses advanced technology.

Timing is Everything

One of the factors that most significantly impacts the likelihood of settlement is the timeline of the case. If the parties try to finalize the case too early, before all of the relevant evidence has been gathered, settlement negotiations may not get very far. However, if the parties wait too long to try to settle the case, they may have spent so much in attorneys’ fees and court costs that they feel reluctant to lose their “day in court.”

Litigation support companies provide excellent guidance on the timing of mediation and other types of settlement negotiations. With a litigation support team, attorneys will be hyperaware of the time-sensitive issues in their case. These attorneys will know which evidence should be compiled as quickly as possible so that settlement negotiations will be fruitful—and favorable for their clients.

Litigation support companies estimate the best time to settle a case based on the various factors involved in the claim. These companies are then able to provide guidance to law firms to help them prepare for settlement negotiations and increase the chances of settling the case.

Settling a case often provides a result that a judge or jury never would have ordered. It provides freedom to the parties to control the outcome of their case and saves attorneys the stress of preparing for trial.

At TrialSpectrum, Inc., we have helped firms around the country reach favorable settlement agreements on behalf of their clients. We work closely with attorneys to create graphics, edit videos, provide equipment, and offer any other litigation consultation or technology services they may need.
