Overview

Many firms will bend over backwards to settle a case prior to reaching a jury trial. Inman & Strickler is not many firms. Here, we believe that a jury represents the ultimate option for a client to get vindication, and we are ready and eager to take a claim all the way through to a positive jury verdict.

Our litigation attorneys carefully analyze the demographics of where your case will be tried to determine the possible composition of the jury panel, and to further prepare ourselves for jury selection. Just as images may not always be what they seem at first glance, people might not be either. Our attorneys make sure to prepare questions for the jury specifically targeted to giving us information without letting the other side know what we are really looking for.

Problems And Implications

Our attorneys excel at selecting the right jury for our client’s case. We also work hard on our technique of communication with the jury. Many times, it is not what you say that convinces a jury, but how you say it. Our litigation attorneys artfully tell the story of our client’s cases in a manner designed to resonate with the jury. While most litigators develop courtroom skills and tactics designed to convince a judge, our litigators recognize that when the ultimate decider is a jury, an different set of courtroom skills and tactics is required. Our attorneys have developed these skills over many years so that we can get our clients the trial verdict they deserve.

Solutions

Our attorneys also know how to maximize resources. Sometimes one well thought out exhibit benefits a client significantly more than three subpar exhibits. Sometimes one expert resonates with the jury significantly more than two experts with less skill. Our attorneys also know that even the most knowledgeable experts need personalized time in order to communicate their knowledge in a way that a jury can digest it. In many cases, helping our experts streamline and simplify their opinions has led to exceptional courtroom results.

If you have a case that seems impossible to settle, or a criminal defense that your attorney insists that you take a plea deal and you want to exercise your right to a jury trial, schedule a consultation with one of our trial attorneys as soon as possible.

Please contact our firm immediately to meet with a skilled and experienced lawyer today. Our attorneys are always willing to help with your legal issue, no matter how big or how small.
