Offering Consulting Services For Attorneys

As you know, going to law school is only one step in becoming an effective attorney. Learning to do the job is another, and a very different, step. I have spent more than a decade learning the tools and skills on how to be a successful trial lawyer. It is not something that an attorney finishes law school and inherently knows the landscape on what to do. Let’s forge a team and win!

This is why I work with attorneys to help them enhance their skills. I am attorney Twila S. White, and with over 25 years of trial and litigation experience, I am now offering litigation consultation services for lawyers nationwide.

Trial Themes

Perhaps one of the most important trial skills is connecting with judges and juries. I help lawyers identify and develop compelling trial themes that resonate with juries and judges. I have the ability to discover the story that aligns with the facts of each case and the emotional undertones needed for effective storytelling.

Developing A Roadmap For Presenting Cases

I bring a systematic approach to case presentation, providing a clear, strategic roadmap from start to finish. Presenting case elements to ensure clarity and coherence in the courtroom is critical. If the judge and/or jurors cannot follow your case roadmap, they may be more susceptible to believing the opposing party’s side of the story. The person that presents the most concise, compelling, and more credible case often wins.

Selecting Key Exhibits For Trial

Trial exhibits and their explanations can be long, very detailed and sometimes confusing. You don’t want to lose the jurors by presenting overly long and dry material. I can demonstrate how to effectively choose the right exhibits and present them in a clear, compelling manner.

Case Presentation Strategies

There is no substitute for a strong case presentation, including voir dire, thorough witness preparation and compelling opening and closing arguments. I will help you learn to focus on persuasive communication and engaging storytelling techniques. If you can’t connect with the judge and jury, your case will be less effective. We are all human, including the judge and jury, so we should not lose sight of that. So let’s tell the human story.

Important Evidence And Depositions

Identifying critical evidence and thoroughly preparing for depositions is an extremely important element of building a strong case. It begins long before the actual trial. Depositions lay the foundation for the trial, especially for cross-examination. I will teach you how to prepare your own clients and witnesses for deposition, as well as how to depose the opposing party and their witnesses strategically and impactfully.

Leveraging depositions to your advantage can go a long way toward building a strong, cohesive case.

Assistance For Inexperienced Trial Lawyers

Another aspect of my trial consultation services is mentoring less experienced trial lawyers, enhancing their skills and confidence. We will discuss areas where you feel you need some coaching or experience. Holding a mock trial may be an option if it is a high-stakes case. I am committed to professional development and fostering a supportive learning environment.
