“It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that.
It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”
– Paul Bear Bryant
Powdermaker Consulting is a National Litigation firm providing pretrial research and litigation consulting on a broad array of litigation disputes. Although specializing in communication training, we assist the trial team in all aspects of litigation, from deposition preparation to post trial interviews and everything in between. We believe that the formula to success in the courtroom comes from out-preparing your opponent, communicating your side most effectively and delivering your case themes on point.
prepare. communicate. deliver.
What makes a juror not only believe a witness, but actually like them? It’s the connection that witness makes with its audience. This connection is what we focus on in our communication effectiveness training. Through words, tone, non-verbal behaviors and demeanor, witnesses learn how to bring their best and deliver their message in the most effective manner.
prepare. research. implement.
Identifying salient points that resonate with jurors is imperative in developing a winning trial strategy. We take the guesswork out of what those key themes are by utilizing research studies such as mock trials and focus groups. Once we have identified the strongest case themes, the case narrative and the trial strategy begin.
prepare. implement. win.
We work hand in hand with the trial team to develop a strong, understandable narrative that reflects and weaves in the case themes identified in the research. We work with the trial team to develop and utilize visual aids to enhance key points and add understanding to testimony. From start to finish we help tell the story that a jury will embrace.
