As attorneys become proficient in PowerPoint, we believe there is a need for a whole new kind of trial graphics company—a company that starts with the presentations you create. You know your case and what you need to communicate. We know how to make your slides beautiful, polished, professional, and tailored to your audience.
Using proven principles of communication design, the latest research in brain science, and the lessons we’ve learned over the course of 20+ years in the trial graphics industry, we take your decks to the next level.
Let’s get started!

Thanks to you, Kara and Mike, for all your hard and excellent work. The arbitrators went out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with the slides, and our client requested copies of all the decks!
Kara and Michael, we got so many compliments about the graphics, including from our experts (who asked for permission to use some of our animations for their future talks) and the other side!!
I have known Kara for 28 years and Mike for 20. They are always my first choice for a graphics team. You cannot do better!
