ABOUT ME
Shannon Farley provides specialized trial consulting and litigation support to attorneys preparing for criminal and civil jury trials throughout Kentucky. Her work focuses on juror research, voir dire strategy, case presentation, and courtroom support, helping counsel communicate complex facts and themes clearly and persuasively.
She brings more than a decade of experience in trial preparation and courtroom proceedings, along with an extensive background in Kentucky’s criminal justice system. That experience gives her a practical understanding of courtroom dynamics, investigative decision-making, juror perception, and the factors that can shape how a case is received at trial.
A member of the American Society of Trial Consultants, Shannon works directly with retained counsel on case-specific strategy, jury research and selection, witness and presentation preparation, and trial support.
Her role is to strengthen counsel’s preparation and presentation while preserving the attorney-client relationship and allowing trial counsel to focus on advocacy in the courtroom.
ENGAGEMENT & RETENTION
Services are provided on a case-specific basis and are typically arranged through retained counsel. Engagement may include one or more phases of trial preparation and support, depending on the needs of the matter.
Because each case presents unique considerations, the scope of services is determined in consultation with counsel. When appropriate, clients may be responsible for associated costs as part of trial preparation, subject to agreement with their attorney.
Advance scheduling is recommended due to the time-intensive nature of trial preparation and the need to avoid conflicts with other matters. All services are performed in support of counsel and are intended to enhance trial readiness and presentation while respecting the attorney-client relationship.
