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.
