"Trial Analysts' pre-trial support and mock trial capabilities allowed us to shape a persuasive and pointed trial presentation. Without Trial Analysts' participation, we would not have gotten nearly the result we did.” 

Britt Monroe
Lloyd, Gray & Whitehead – Birmingham

“Your services were invaluable to our successful outcome.  Everyone was impressed with your team's ability to quickly grasp and home in on the key issues.  This was particularly impressive given the complexity of the legal issues and technology.  We have used similar consultants in the past, but Trial Analysts really stands head and shoulders above the rest.”

Adam Floyd
Floyd & Buss – Austin

"It has been my privilege to work with Jim in the past, and I look forward to working with him in the future.  Simply put, Jim is the best jury consultant with whom I have worked.  He is experienced, knowledgeable, and perceptive.  He is adept at identifying trial themes and suggesting ways to communicate effectively.  Jim quickly becomes a valued member of any trial team with whom he works."

“Trial Analysts have provided my clients with street sense valuable insight in patent matters.  The fog of patent claim construction, infringement charts, and technical IP damage calculations needs to be carefully set aside in order to see what your case looks like in the sunlight of a jury's view.  This group can help do that.”

Roy Hardin
Locke, Liddell &Bissell – Dallas

"In 20 years of practice, I have worked with many jury consultants.  Jim Stiff and his entire staff are the best in the business.  He will know the case file before your first meeting.  His focus groups and jury selection are right on target. In preparing for and during trial, he and his team work alongside the attorneys as late into the night as it takes.  Jim deals with any situation that arises with humor and humility -- a refreshing thing to find in a professional of his caliber."

Trial Analysts is easy to work with and their experience and professionalism is apparent throughout the organization. Trial Analysts is always responsive to our requests, and has demonstrated the ability to respond quickly to assist us. We highly recommend Jim and his staff and we are confident that they will give you a leg up on your opponents.

“I have consulted with Jim Stiff on various different types of cases, from toxic tort cases to product liability cases. He is an extremely quick study and his advice has always been insightful, practical, and very useful. I have recommended Jim to others in my firm and they have been similarly pleased with his work." 

Adam Peck

“We were all very impressed in the way in which you designed the focus group project, helped us with the preparation of the presentations, and then made the presentations so that we were able to obtain precisely the benefits which we were seeking. The insight you provided regarding juror reactions to the presentations, the graphics, and the animations, was critically important to our successful preparation for trial. We will be working with you on a regular basis in the future.”

Bill Schuurman
Vinson & Elkins – Austin

"I have had the privilege of working shoulder-to-shoulder with the professionals of Trial Analysts in jury research, witness preparation, and in complex and difficult jury trials.  They are at the top of their profession.  Their insight into the psychology of group decision making and the art of persuasion is unparalleled.  Their "shadow jury" work is a luxury for any trial lawyer.  I highly recommend Trial Analysts for all phases of trial and jury consulting."

Jere White

“Trial Analysts’ insight into the minds of jurors has proven to be an invaluable asset. I have a longstanding relationship with Trial Analysts and, in particular, Jim Stiff, who has been my principal contact over the years. I continue to utilize the entire breadth of services offered by Trial Analysts. These services have been critical to the preparation of several complex cases for trial.”

Myron Cunningham
Senior Counsel, Tronox

"I first worked with Jim  on a sensitive employment case where the client asked for the research very close to our trial date.  Trial Analysts not only pulled it all together on short notice, but worked very well with our trial team.  Their mock trial/focus group approach tested the issues we were concerned about and helped us prepare for trial.  As the Group Chair of the national Employment and Labor practice at Baker Hostetler and a trial lawyer for 27 years, I have experience with a number of jury consultants - I would strongly recommend Jim and his team."

Ron Linville
Baker Hostetler – Columbus

"I have worked with Trial Analysts on a number of occasions.  On each occasion I have found their work to be of the highest quality.  More importantly, the Trial Analysts team is user friendly and incredibly responsive.  Their on site performance for mock jury sessions, is excellent.  The logistical support and expertise comes through when you see the team in action on the ground.   I have also been impressed in the way that the team listens first and then offers advice.  There is no "cookie cutter" pitch involved.   Rather, the Trial Analysts team tailors the work around the client’s needs for the specific project."
