Irvine, California — Serving Attorneys Nationwide
How We Work

Built for the way trials actually move

Experts supplement their opinions. Rulings strike exhibits. The other side shifts its theory the week before openings. Our process is designed for that: fast turnaround, controlled changes, and every version sourced and recoverable.

  • OvernightRevisions to existing demonstratives during trial
  • One producerA single point of contact for attorneys, experts and staff
  • Every version keptRoll back to any approved state; nothing is overwritten
  • Every element sourcedBates number, deposition page: line or report paragraph

Five questions, answered directly

01 · Speed

Is it fast enough?

Your calendar sets the schedule. We plan each visual backward from the date it is needed, and during trial, edits to existing demonstratives turn around overnight.

Turnaround by request type →
02 · Flexibility

Can it change on the fly?

Graphics are built in editable layers, so a date, label, number or sequence changes without a rebuild. Late changes are expected and planned for.

How trial weeks run →
03 · Accuracy

Is it accurate, and can we prove it?

Every element is tied to its source. Your expert checks the technical content before release, and each exhibit comes with a foundation sheet for objections and motions.

What comes with every file →
04 · Change control

Can it track dozens of changes from many people?

Every request is logged: who asked, why, what changed and who approved it. The version number is printed on the exhibit itself, so the hot seat, the attorney and the witness are always looking at the same thing.

05 · Coordination

Will it work with our experts and our team?

One producer coordinates everyone. Experts work with us on technical points, attorneys control what is released, and files go to your trial tech in the format your presentation system uses.

Who is in the loop →

Every change on record. Every version recoverable.

Click through the history of one demonstrative. Then restore an earlier version and watch what happens to the record.

Version history

    PDX-014 · Implant to revision surgery

    Illustrative example; not from an actual matter. On your case we use your exhibit numbering and your approval chain.

    The version is on the exhibit

    Version number and release date print in the corner of every slide and frame. When a witness is shown PDX-014, nobody has to ask which PDX-014.

    Rulings are one step to undo

    When a motion in limine excludes an element, or reconsideration brings it back, we restore the approved state as a new version. The history stays intact for the record.

    Separate sets for each trial

    For bellwethers and parallel trials, each trial gets its own approved set built from the shared master. A correction carries to the other sets only when you decide it should.

    Scheduled backward from your dates

    Tell us the mediation date, the disclosure deadline or the first day of trial. We build the plan from there and tell you up front what is realistic.

    A trial day

    2. EveningChanges logged, made and checked against the source.
