Our Process

We have been successful for clients because we bring more than 60 years of national media and court experience to your trial team. We are professional storytellers. We know audiences and how to reach them. To do that, we learn the story you want to tell and to whom. We learn what you believe will be opposing counsel's story.

We review vital documents and have a thorough discussion of your case with you, before we recommend a single demonstrative.


We assist you in honing your key arguments and themes, and we develop a visual and emotional storyline, applying cognitive science and behavioral insight. We employ perceptual filters such as content and theme analysis, information design, and adult learning techniques.

We then produce concise images for legal briefs and visual demonstratives — ranging from graphs to 3-D animation to interactive tools. And if your case requires it, we test them with you in focus group and mock trial.

We also...

      Develop and produce video and DVD tutorials that give you
      a clear advantage in laying foundation with judges and
      arbitration panels, helping you to successfully argue
      complex issues.

      Spend time with your expert witnesses so their authoritative
      testimony becomes visual and jury accessible.

      Provide mock trial and courtroom presentation equipment
      and the seasoned Trial Technicians to run it.

      Handle your document management needs.

In this age of cost containment, strong, strategic graphics help the judge understand the intricacies of your arguments and you send a clear message to opposing counsel that you are ready and able to present your case, which may also support your settlement objectives.

By the time you are ready for trial, we have systematically synthesized and crystallized your arguments into clear, persuasive and memorable visuals designed to hold the jury's attention from opening to closing argument and into deliberations.

We stand with you all the way. When you engage Clear Case Legal, you have our team's personal and professional commitment to work tirelessly to bring you success.


If you choose, we can scout and design your courtroom equipment needs. Our Trial Technicians present all your demonstratives and key exhibits on state-of-the-art, non-linear digital equipment, delivering all media —video, documents and graphics— from one easily managed, low-profile source. We can set up War Room technology in your offices, so new visuals can be discussed, developed and rehearsed.

We've been through hundreds of trials, so we know our work may not be over after voir dire. During the proceedings, strategies may change — instantly! You need us to be flexible and creative throughout trial. That's why we will be available (in court, if you wish, or to meet with you and your team for each day's debriefing) to consult on new demonstratives as needed; overnight, if we can.

Access us anytime from anywhere. Clear Case Legal is located in the San Francisco Bay area, but we work with you wherever you are. We have clients across the U.S. and Canada. We come to you and all work product is quickly within your reach for real time review via our secure, password-protected website, whether you are still in discovery or in the middle of trial.

Every case is unique, and every client has budgetary restraints — no matter how big or small the case. We create strategic graphics for any size case and we provide budgets for your approval. We stick to our budgets.
