WE'LL GET ON YOUR CASE

The
Synchronics
Group
Trial
Consultants
has been working with attorneys in the courtroom since 1981. We are one of the oldest trial consulting companies in the country, pioneering the use of scientific and academic principles which have become essential components in today's complex litigation.
The Synchronics Group Trial Consultants provides the full range of jury and trial consulting services, with a special focus on courtroom communications. We help clients bridge the communication gap in the courtroom between what counsel says versus what the jurors hear. Jurors remember 20% of what they hear, versus 80% of what they see. By integrating trial strategy with trial exhibits, we make sure what counsel says is what the jurors see. We don’t simply blow up evidence; we visually interpret trial strategy. By expertly marrying words with pictures, we increase our client’s persuasion four-fold.
And we bring the same creative and unique perspective to all the services we offer. We collect scientific data on juror attitudes and apply them in jury selection. But data is based on general sampling; how do we know the juror in the box is typical? How much time will we have in voir dire to find out? To help compensate for thesse limitations, The Synchronics Group Trial Consultants has designed a unique methodology for notating the nonverbal signals of each individual juror. These observations can be made quickly; they are based on the specific juror in the courtroom, not a generalized juror; and they reveal information which helps determine attitudes. In summary, these observations are significant to making intelligent strike decisions.
The Synchronics Group Trial Consultants works with both plaintiff and defense counsel in civil litigation cases in every area of the law, including securities, intellectual property, contract, business, toxic tort, insurance coverage, product liability, medical malpractice, personal injury, employment, discrimmination and sexual abuse.
