HI THERE!
Trial consulting is an exciting and rapidly developing field. As a research consultant, I collaborate with trial consultants and attorneys across the country when they seek additional support.
Services
-
Whether in-person or online, I’ll assist your team, moderate panels, and interview mock juries.
-
Are you preparing for a project and watching deadlines pile up? I’ll review the factors that make your case unique and design customized materials to measure participant attitudes.
-
I draft comprehensive reports by synthesizing findings from all stages of your research project.
-
I have deep experience in statistical modeling and will analyze and interpret your research data.
-
I’ve researched thousands of jurors across the largest and smallest venues in the country. We both know court schedules are unpredictable. I can research a venire in advance or provide assistance during voir dire.
-
Only a small fraction of cases go to trial. Make the most of this opportunity by using post-trial interviews to discover what persuaded your jury.
About
After completing a master’s degree in psychology, I spent five years as a researcher at a litigation consulting firm.
Through this experience, I understand the challenges and nuances that come with executing jury research and the importance of consistently providing excellent client service.
While I enjoy working in a broad range of practice areas, my primary focuses are commercial litigation, professional liability, intellectual property, and personal injury.
I am the current chair of the American Society of Trial Consultants Pro Bono Committee and I am always interested in learning about new opportunities to collaborate on pro bono matters and initiatives.
I am based in Denver, Colorado and have conducted research in over 25 states.
