Illustrations

A simple chart or graphic can save your expert hours on the witness stand. While usually put off until trial, visual aids can be developed in the earlier stages of a case for added benefits. Graphics can unify your trial team's vision of the case, place your picture in the judge's mind during pretrial motions, and strengthen your position in settlement conferences. Graphs generated from spreadsheets, flow charts explaining order, document callouts drawing attention to the critical sentence, timelines plotting the sequence of events or technical illustrations showing the inner workings of a patented invention can make the difference in the fact finders' understanding and final decision.

Data Graphs
The impact on the jury is much greater when the difference between 20% and 100% is shown in a bar chart. versus just telling them. Persuasion Strategies designer are experienced in maximizing the effectiveness by either working from the raw data in a spreadsheet, or sprucing up a chart started by your expert.
 
Flow Charts
The organization of a group or the step in a process are made more understandable when the fact finder not only sees the direction of flow, but also has icons or pictures included instead of generic boxes or circles representing the stages.
Callouts
Buried in the back pages or the fine print of a contract may be key clauses that determine the case. We have developed tried and true design that draw the fact-finders' attention to the salient passage, while supplying the context to minimize common skepticism.
  Maps
The old cliche, Location, Location, Location can is as true in a legal case as it is in real estate. Where a stream may flow, or a transaction occurred or the demographic boundary in a neighborhood can have tremendous bearing.
Timelines
Who or what came first can be the deciding factor in many cases. Other instances, the frequency of responses or lack thereof tells volumes about the parties. Showing this to the jury in conjunction with conditions in effect over all or part of the period puts individual events in temporal perspective.
  Technical Diagrams
Engineers, economists, biologist or geologist have at least one thing in common. When explaining details about their expertise, an illustration will help them orient their audience through the complexities of the field.
