"The exhibit we took into mediation - conceived and designed by The Synchronics Group - was decisive in our winning an 8 million dollar settlement. The case was complicated, but the exhibit explained our points so clearly and concisely, that opposing counsel decided to settle right then and there. The case settled the day they saw the exhibit."
