What Is Your
Case Worth?
Trial Analysis
Trial Analysis provides budget oriented focus group and mock trial services without the need for jury consultants. Our project coordinators have decades of experience working with national jury consulting companies and have conducted hundreds of jury research projects across the country.
The involvement of a jury consultant often increases costs and complexities in jury research. Experienced litigators typically understand the format of jury research they would like to conduct, but they require an experienced professional to organize the jury research.
We seek to provide a turnkey research experience by providing all of the same organizational services of a jury consultant, but without the need for a consultant. Our project coordinators will assist in preparing a schedule, locating a venue, or using a law firm’s office, recruiting participants, providing AV streaming and recording services, coordinating catering, and of course attending the research to assist with the execution of the project.
Improved Assessment: 1 case + 1 Jury ≠ Average of Past Verdicts
Trial Analysis enables attorneys to conduct affordable research with live or virtual jurors to improve clients’ assessment and evaluation of litigation risks or determine a case’s likely success at trial.
The current approach to case valuation relies on an attorney, mediator, or claims adjuster who reviews past verdicts and past settlements to guesstimate the future value of a case. Unfortunately, the number of past verdict or settlement data correlating to specific case factors is often very low, leading legal professionals to average verdicts, thereby obtaining a misleading damages figure.
However, the past does not define the future; by relying on past verdicts and settlements, legal professionals fail to consider how specific factors may differentiate prior cases from current cases to shift the value of a case. Trial Analysis seeks to decrease the significant costs of litigation by offering clients a tailored budgeted approach to assessing a case’s value.
The Jury Factor
Our experience in prior cases has shown time and time again that legal professionals have difficulty evaluating how a jury may view unique case facts, which is the most critical component of case valuation. Jury research costs often impede attorneys or companies from gaining insight into their cases. Trial Analysis provides a budgeted approach and a streamlined project for clients to obtain greater insight into their cases’ strengths and weaknesses.
Jury Consultant Collaboration
While we primarily conduct jury research without the need for jury consultants, upon request we collaborate with jury consultants to provide clients with juror profiles or additional consulting services. We also provide services to jury consultants who wish to utilize our services and skillsets and we welcome any jury consultants who may wish to attend a client’s jury research.
