Firm Highlights

Record Retrieval

CSI's record retrieval team's daily focus is on maintaining great client relationships and making the lives of paralegals, legal assistants, and attorneys easier by taking on the time-consuming task of third-party record retrieval. Whether you are looking for medical records, film/imaging, billing, court records, employment records, records from Federal agencies or other documentation from third parties, you can depend on CSI's expertise, speed, fair and transparent pricing, and unmatched service. The CSI team also provides nationwide subpoena domestication.

Court Reporting & Deposition Scheduling Services

We coordinate all your court reporting needs quickly and efficiently including the scheduling of court reporters, videographers, interpreters, and facilities, for both in-person and virtual depositions. With over 35 years of litigation experience, CSI is uniquely qualified to handle any court reporting matter, in any location, no matter how remote or complex. As your trusted provider, CSI simplifies the challenges by providing superior customer service, an expert court reporter network, and the latest technologies to meet all your court reporting needs.

Witness Training

The performance of witnesses at deposition is the most critical factor in the trajectory of every case. Attorney-led witness prep is not enough to ensure successful testimony. Witnesses need psychology-based training to defeat opposing counsel manipulation and manage their natural survival instincts which can lead to devastating testimony. Opposing counsel knows that getting concessions from witnesses is the key to their case and they are experts in using psychological manipulation to get the answers they seek. CSI’s Litigation Consultants - experts in human psychology and modifying human behavior - deliver a sophisticated, witness-specific neuro-cognitive training program that prevents your witnesses from making errors that can ruin your case. Going beyond just prep, CSI’s proprietary neuro-cognitive training program rewires the witness brain to protect them from falling victim to their own emotional reactions or the tricks and traps of an experienced questioner.

Settlement, Mediation, and Trial Research

The cost of knowing is much less than the risk of being surprised. In litigation, you need answers to important questions:

  • What is this case really worth?
  • Should we settle or go to trial?
  • Will the jury find our witnesses likeable, trustworthy, and credible?
  • What will the jury think if we admit liability?
  • What are the odds of a nuclear outcome?

How do you get these answers? Scientifically-valid jury research is the only way to confidently know what direction to take when making decisions on critical aspects of your case. CSI constructs and conducts exploratory research in the form of virtual and in-person focus groups and confirmation research (mock trials) on all types of civil litigation cases all over the country to help legal teams acquire the answers to the most critical questions about their case, and delivers the confidence to trust those answers when making tactical and strategic decisions.

Trial and Jury Consulting

In the courtroom, preparation is everything and perception is reality. At Courtroom Sciences, our Litigation Consultants help tailor your case to maximize the odds of a favorable outcome. Our team of Litigation Consultants, experts in research and human psychology, conduct highly predictive jury research, neurocognitively train witnesses for trial testimony, and assist the legal team with strategic, psychologically sound voir dire questions and compelling opening statements to ensure the most favorable jury is seated and is receptive to and primed for the key themes of your case.

Crisis Planning and Critical Communications

Serious issues require senior, experienced counselors: people who have been inside the courtroom and know how to support litigation strategy, while also protecting a client's reputation. CSI's Critical Communications team brings decades of experience at the highest levels of risk assessment and litigation & crisis management. Our seasoned team of litigation and crisis communications experts have worked in high stakes, high profile situations and routinely engage as part of the privileged litigation team. We provide the bridge to assure that the legal and communications strategies are aligned for maximum impact in and out of the courtroom.
