Litigation is Uncertain. Your Strategy Shouldn’t Be.
Our predictive analytics give you clarity and confidence when it matters most—before mediation, before trial, before it’s too late
TRUSTED BY THOSE IN THE TRENCHES OF JURY TRIALS
Why VerdictSimulator
We Turn Uncertainty into Confidence.
Litigation is unpredictable, but you deserve more than someone's "best guess" when heading into mediation and trial. Comparing your case to past verdicts from Westlaw is apples to oranges. And focus groups are time-consuming, costly, and results are hit-or-miss.
VerdictSimulator fills that gap with big data jury analytics to help you make evidence-based decisions in mediation and trial, both reducing risk and maximizing odds of a successful outcome.
