Testimonials

"I have worked extensively with Andrea and George on numerous cases. Their contributions have been tremendous in all aspects of litigation, especially witness preparation, focus groups and jury selection. Perhaps most importantly, I have gained a great deal of insight regarding how juries analyze and decide cases as a result of post-trial jury debriefing. The comprehensive services George and Andrea provide throughout the life of a case add a great deal to the quality of our representation of clients."

"I have worked with George Hunter to select the jury on numerous trials. Twice I left jurors on the panel despite George's expressed concerns. In both instances, I learned my lesson when those were the only two jurors who voted against my client. From witness preparation to case theme development through jury selection, George and Andrea offer clear and insightful help to trial lawyers."

"I have enjoyed working with Andrea and George for the past three years. They have assisted me with witness preparation, focus groups and jury selection. I have found both of them to be knowledgeable, engaging and easy to work with. They are always prepared and have a good understanding of the facts of each case and the challenges that each case poses. They are well versed in the psychology literature and are happy to share that information. Even the most likeable, confident witness benefits from George and Andrea's observations regarding non-verbal communication and delivery of information. George and Andrea also have an uncanny ability to develop an ideal juror profile for each case and can usually predict who the presiding juror will be by the end of trial. I wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Andrea and George are terrific. Both have assisted me in preparing clients to testify and with jury selection. Before I go to trial, I like to work with Andrea as we develop themes and figure out the best way to structure the case story. She has a talent for simplifying a case and identifying the language and arguments that will resonate with jurors. Not only is working with both of them a pleasure, they have helped me win trials."

"I had never worked with a trial consultant before meeting Andrea and after seeing her effect on some of my witnesses, I am a true convert. During our work together, her assistance has made a dramatic impact on the positive resolution of some of my [family law] cases. As just one example, she helped turn around one witness who was so emotional when she spoke that she was likely to irritate the judge. After a few hours of working with Andrea, however, this witness was able to express herself clearly, confidently and persuasively. As a result, the judge wound up granting all of this client’s requests on temporary matters and the opposing party was motivated to settle the remaining issues. Andrea knows how to calm witnesses down, help them figure out what needs to be said and the best way of saying it.”
