Many vendors claim trial support as one of their many service offerings.
Although we offer several services as well, trial-related support
and presentation services are our core business. Recently, we have
noticed many videography and graphics vendors seeking an opportunity
to get involved in this extremely specialized field of trial support.
With a focus on shooting video, document copying, scanning, coding,
or graphics, more often than not they are grossly under-qualified
in this line of work, and lack the actual trial experience, perhaps
risking your entire case.
At Litigation-Tech, we offer many years of actual trial, mediation,
arbitration, and hearing experience, in a wide variety of litigation
areas, and in matters of all sizes. From major-scale jury trials
lasting several months, to one-day hearings in courtrooms and offices
across the nation, plaintiff or defense, civil or criminal, we have
been there. We spend more time in court each year than many attorneys
do their entire career.
We can assist your team in whatever capacity desired- from full
service support to providing our "Trial-in-the-Bag" solution,
and anywhere in between. We offer our services at your comfort level
- how refreshing to find someone interested in how you work. Further,
we have worked on many trials involving multiple co-counsel firms,
all needing to prepare and present various evidence in court. We
are very talented and experienced in effectively managing several
points of simultaneous contact, treating each as though it is top
priority - a delicate balance that not many can master.
As a member of the American Society of Trial Consultants, we are
also available to offer objective feedback during the course of
the trial. On many occasions, this extra set of eyes has had a great
influence on the outcome of a trial.

Litigation-Tech offers a "turn-key" solution for
your smaller-scale hearings, mediations, and other times when cost
or other restrictions may require you to take your own show on the
road, or you simply are ready to "do-it-yourself" (with
a sound, tested database). We build the database for you, provide
instruction as needed, and send you off to court... Learn

With many years of experience in litigation support, Litigation-Tech
offers scalable solutions to your projects. Traditional litigation
support functions offered include services such as copying, scanning,
imaging, coding, and OCR. We tackle projects of this type when working
on-site with your trial team. On larger projects, Litigation-Tech
will scale up as necessary, always ensuring the quality and compatibility
of the work-product. Often, substantial savings are realized when
these projects are performed correctly the first time - rather than
performing (and paying for) the same work two or three times in order
that it will be compatible with each phase of your matter. Our expert
staff will continually assess the project, offering every possible
solution and option along the way. And, if the database has already
become a disaster, we have successfully turned many "nightmare"
projects around.
These types of functions and services were developed from our clients'
needs and requests as a result of our rather inclusive "team"
approach. Also, we are happy to partner with your preferred vendors,
in order that we (and they) may better serve you.

When is the last time you tried to have a trial vendor configure your
warroom? Chances are, you either could not find any support, you had
to "make-do" with far less than basic conveniences, or your
law firm simply does not have staffing available to live and work
off-site for any period of time. Well, when Litigation-Tech is on
your team, we work where you work- be it in a hotel room, co-counsel's
guest offices or conference rooms. We have years of experience setting
up and maintaining these warrooms, negotiating network setup and access,
and designing the warroom and courtroom technology layouts according
to your needs in the best possible way. Further, another non-marketed
service we provide is paralegal support. When we are in the warroom,
we are available to assist as needed. Whether helping someone connect
to the Internet, putting trial exhibits together, transcript or Westlaw
searching, or just making the coffee- we are not above or beyond anything
you need assistance with.

An integral part of the total package, and something we normally
include as a part of our Trial Support services, we can also assist
your team in the role of Project Manager, even for the specific
purpose of bringing all of your invoices together as one, quality
control and supervision of your other vendors. This offers you one
source, accountable for a great deal projects and tasks, performed
by any number of vendors. Why would you consider using Litigation-Tech
as a Project Manager over other vendors? Because Litigation-Tech
and its staff started in large law firms, and have the "insider"
experience needed to assure the best result, and at the lowest price.
This is yet another example of our "team" approach.

This is a rapidly evolving topic, and one of the services we offer,
including Project Management and data assessment, as well as tackling
gigabytes of electronic file data. Why consider Litigation-Tech for
this service? The reasoning is that having originated from within
large law firms, Litigation-Tech's staff is well-versed at saving
the firm and the client both time and money during data recovery,
data assessment, analysis, duplication and production. Often the real
need is little more than locating and producing a few specific documents.
We can save your client thousands of dollars in unnecessary discovery
and production expenses. Should the case involve forensic-level data
recovery, we have a list of preferred vendors, who will work within
our specifications, providing you with a useable product ready for
trial. We will present you with options for your specific project,
rather than simply fitting it into some "pre-packaged" process.
Every case is different- so should the discovery/production process
be. From database searches to automated SuperDox blowbacks, our in-house
experience brings new meaning to a "value-added" service.

Let us make that daunting E-Discovery task regarding Outlook files
as simple as opening a Summation or Concordance database. On pre-existing
data collections, such as those produced by opposing counsel, we will
make the data searchable. The same is true of most of the common file
types in use today. Why print, scan, OCR and code, then search?
Your searches are far more accurate when dealing with native file
formats- plus you can immediately begin assembling your case data
as you go, by simply saving your results. When it is time to produce,
we offer data conversion from your files to TIFF or PDF format. These
formats are normally required for E-filings and litigation/trial databases.

Litigation-Tech can take your photographic negatives or color slides,
and convert them to digital format (jpeg, pdf, gif, tif, etc.), which
can then be printed and used as exhibits, copied, e-mailed, etc. We
can even convert the negatives to positives (normal photo colors).
We also scan photographs into files. These images may then be incorporated
into your trial presentation, shared with clients and co-counsel,
etc.

We offer in-house video services including tape to digital conversion,
digital to tape conversion, MPEG conversion, transcript synchronization,
and video editing. All of our video work is performed manually and
each file is then QC'd, ensuring the best possible product.
