LITIGATION GRAPHICS

At Animators at Law, our primary service is helping lawyers explain difficult concepts to judges and jurors through the use of litigation graphics and technology. Whether you need assistance designing your message or using the technology required to deliver your message, we can help. We do it everyday, nationwide.

Litigation graphics are powerful tools for explaining and communicating complex concepts or abstract ideas. Well-designed litigation graphics increase judge and juror comprehension by up to 650% by providing visual points of reference that can be referred to throughout the proceedings. Furthermore, litigation graphics serve as representations of pertinent information that facilitate a more lasting and believable impression. Animators is uniquely qualified and highly experienced in the design of all types of boards including full-color charts, diagrams and timelines for use in the courtroom. We have created thousands, and no two are exactly alike.

Litigation graphics can be either printed or presented electronically using customized software or off the shelf software such as Sanction, Trial Director, PowerPoint or Producer. We routinely create a mix of print and electronic exhibits for large trials to keep cost down and to stimulate judge and juror interest.

Presentation Strategy – Litigation Consulting


Animators can assist you in forming a strategy for the presentation of litigation graphics. We can help you decide how simple or complex your presentation should be, as well as the best ways to utilize effective imagery, language and color. Determining the type of media that will be used bears heavily on the graphic development process. For example, the design of static exhibits differs from the design of an interactive piece. Although we routinely design for multiple applications, we can save you time and money by addressing these issues prior to development. As always, our goal is the most efficient and productive use of resources.

Animators develops effective demonstratives and trial presentation strategies by reversing the process normally used for graphic and thematic development. Simply, we start with the language of the code or verdict form that the jury will use at the end of the trial and incorporate this language on key exhibits throughout the trial. This methodology is the of our attorney owned and operated firm and represents the means by which we will systematically evaluate the effectiveness of litigation graphics as we develop them.

This ability to think like a member of the trial team and to think like a lawyer (because that is what we are) is what differentiates us from every other firm in the litigation communication industry. Thus, we have the talent to not only turn an in-house draft exhibit into an efficient jury ready exhibit but, most importantly, to understand the legal issues and suggest and design an overall presentation as well as individual exhibits.

Every time we have heard:

“How can Animators learn a 10 year-old case in two weeks and teach it to a jury?”

we always soon hear…

“Wow, you actually bridged the gap between our extensive knowledge of the case and the jury’s need to understand enough to help us win.”

That is effective Litigation Consulting.
