Philosophy

At Trial Analysts we are committed to the success of your case.  We understand that the quality of our consulting services is predicated on five ingredients: 

Insight - The unique perspective we bring to your case is derived from our experience in hundreds of complex matters and our strong academic pedigrees.  We have specific expertise in persuasive communication, witness credibility assessment, information processing, jury psychology, and group decision making. 

Responsiveness - We are large enough to staff major cases, yet small enough to provide highly responsive and personal consulting services.  No one works harder than we do to provide service to clients. 

Comprehension - Predicting that a strategy will be effective is one thing.  We help you understand why it will be effective.  Understanding the conceptual rationale for a counter-intuitive case theme or a recommendation not to call a “key witness” gives you the confidence necessary to effectively implement the recommendation.    

Continuity - Our consulting team concept ensures that you will be working with the same consultant(s) and a single point of contact throughout the engagement. 

Value - The value of our consulting services is evidenced by the number of clients who routinely call us to assist them in developing cases for trial.  We encourage you to speak with our clients and let them tell you about the quality of our services and the reliability of our budget estimates. 

“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."
