Based on your clients' needs and in-house capabilities, "trial consultant" is a term that can mean many things.

1. Litigation Consulting

A2L's litigation consulting services include in-depth research in jury selection and voir dire, targeted research into your assigned judge's likes and dislikes, and utilizing technology not for the sake of “appearing slick”, but molded off the best research in jury communication, maximizing memory retention, underscoring witness credibility and persuasion. Additional services include mock trial preparation, focus groups, witness preparation and more. 

We also specialize in bench trial preparation with a strong focus on simulating your actual judge as closely as possible. We often rely on recently retired judges to offer hands-on, practical preparation for your team.

2. Graphic Presentation

We don't dumb information down. Our litigation graphics team specializes in making the complex simple and visually easy to understand. The ABA has famously found that jurors will understand and retain information 650 percent faster when a visual presentation is used.

Most people are visual learners. Our focus on graphic presentations blend a mixture of 
printed and electronic materials to maximize juror stimulation, best convey important information and make a lasting impression in the judge or juror’s mind. Our team has a depth of experience targeting both visual and auditory learners to reach every juror. 

We'll work with you to find the best method of supplementing your oral argument with a visual story. This can include animated graphics, blown up photographs, professional-quality flip board presentations, power-point style slide shows or a combination of many styles. Our methodologies are based on the latest scientific and psychological research, from thematic considerations down to color choice.  

3. Trial Technology

Our onsite courtroom consultants' produce seamless presentations made easy on the attorney. We work hard to ease the nerve-wracking aspects of conducting technologically-assisted presentations, allowing you to focus on your argument, not on technology. 

Whether addressing the courtroom at trial or making a case in any venue such as arbitration proceedings, our technological consultants will sit with you managing the technology to ensure seamless integration with your presentation. We also provide remote servicing and on-call support if the case calls for a smaller in-court team appearance.

4. E-Brief Production

Just as e-discovery is revolutionizing document production, a focus on e-brief presentation can drastically enhance your documents' ease of use and readability. Our team can incorporate hyperlinking, video, graphics and any necessary references in an effective, user-friendly format. Many judges enjoy having an iPad-compatible format. DVD and thumb drive formatting is also available. 

Sometimes turning over a pallet full of paper files isn't the easiest way to submit your briefs and supporting documentation to a judge or arbitrator. We specialize in making e-briefs as effective as possible.


Trial consultants offer a wide variety of services focused on the end results of persuasion and effective communication. Backed by the latest scientific and psychological research, consulting firms should offer persuasion-based, visually compelling content that is specifically based on your case's needs and targeted at your specific arbitrator, judge and/or jury.
