Our Services

Graphics & Animation

Whether you want to tap the jury’s emotions, make an expert’s examination crystal clear, or begin your case with a compelling opening statement, visual aids will always assist.

Visual Advocacy is a key element to every trial lawyer’s case. P&A’s consultants have been creating, designing, and building demonstrative graphics and animation since 1993 and continue to do so for clients all over the country. The strategy of what to display is just as important, if not more so, than building the graphics.

The intended use and the desired effect of a powerful demonstrative or 3-D animation are more important than the technology behind it. Taking complex, sophisticated events and narrowing it down to an understandable level for a layman jury is a skill we have developed and demonstrated time and time again.

Trial Consulting

There are many levels of trial consulting, from the strategies of preparing and presenting a compelling opening statement to designing the courtroom equipment layout.

Many years in courtrooms and war rooms have prepared PIGANELLI & ASSOCIATES to be unique in the ability to provide expert advise at every level. Don’t you want that depth of experience on your team?

eDiscovery

eDiscovery in litigation is rapidly rising as common place in litigation. Approximately 87% of all business communication is done via e-mail. What was once a 10,000 document case is now 800,000 e-mails, attachments and electronic documents. How will you handle the future of litigation case content?

Piganelli & Associates can clear the confusion and confidently guide you through the process from start to finish. From Forensic collection, to processing your ESI, review, production and case management, our experts have been down the road.

Forensic Analysis

When collecting your client’s data, it is important that careful steps be taken to ensure that the electronic data (e-mails or files) are not corrupted or spoiled in the collection process and the data collection are defensible. To ensure that the data is not changed or disturbed, a forensically sound image should be done.

P&A can assist you in collecting data forensically, determining the proper way to collect your client’s data and files, coordinate that process, plus assist you with an efficient method to review the data and prepare for production.

Training

P&A has been training legal professionals since 1993 and brings a wealth of experience to the training classroom. Training should be more than just “point and click” mechanics of the software.

Applying real world situations to the software as you learn from experienced veterans is what separates P&A training from others.

Litigation Management

Whether faced with a box of documents, a storage building full of files, or a room full of computers, processing those documents and electronic files in litigation and preparing them for discovery needs to follow defined methods.

PIGANELLI & ASSOCIATES helps clients develop and maneuver through the appropriate steps and find the best solutions for comprehensive case management. Would our many years of experience be useful to help you manage your case(s)?.
