Witness Testimony Preparation

Ensuring your witness is impactful.

Since decision-makers are quick to judge a case by judging the messenger, it is imperative to put forth credible, trained, and unflappable witnesses. Our witness preparation consultants assist fact and expert witnesses with strategies to communicate clearly and effectively while managing the emotional aspect of testifying.

Using decades of practical experience, our psychology and communication experts help your witnesses develop testimony themes, improve verbal and non-verbal delivery, and offer tactics for cross-examination. Our team can also assess the content and order of examinations to ensure consistency with your trial themes and case stories.

Work with our trusted consultants to give your witnesses the tools needed in order to deliver strong testimony.

Let's Get Started

Our Witness Preparation Services

Witness Assessment

Our senior consultants offer specific knowledge about the psychology of decision-making based on years of training and practical experience.

We provide guidance regarding the behaviors that jurors like to see in fact and expert witnesses, as well as the aspects of trial testimony that they find most (and least) compelling.

Our team can assess your witnesses’ delivery style, non-verbal communication, and ability to translate the case facts into digestible, memorable testimony.
Witness Communication Training

Decision-makers are bombarded with competing messages, so witnesses must be able to convey their knowledge in a way they will understand and remember.

Our consultants teach your witnesses about the traits that affect perceptions of credibility and how to be comfortable and direct when delivering testimony. We explain how to simplify complex information into familiar terms and provide one-on-one sessions to hone communication skills and prepare for cross-examination.
Testimony Theme Development

Testimony themes help triers of fact understand and organize the details they receive. Our jury consultants are adept at turning dense information into thematic messages that connect with your audience.

Themes can also arm witnesses for cross-examination. During prep sessions, they learn how to stick to their themes and avoid common traps. When your witnesses are aware of these ploys and prepared with appropriate counterstrategies, they will also be perceived as more credible and convincing.
