litigation graphics & legal design
Litigation graphics forcases that turn on numbers.
We help trial teams turn bank records, ledgers and complex timelines into a clear case story, with accurate, persuasive exhibits that judges, juries and mediators can follow and remember. Every graphic is built from the record, and our financial work is led by a designer who is also a licensed CPA.
the problem
Your strongest evidenceis buried in a spreadsheet.
Fraud, securities, receivership and commercial disputes are often won or lost on financial detail. But a jury seeing a bank statement for the first time won't trace dozens of transfers across three entities, and a judge with a full docket won't rebuild your damages model from an exhibit binder. If the fact finder can't see the pattern, they won't remember it in the jury room, and they won't believe it.
A CPA at the design table.
Most litigation graphics vendors are designers who need the numbers explained to them. Most forensic accountants aren't designers. Our financial exhibits are led by a designer who is also a licensed CPA, so the person reading your ledgers is the same person building the exhibit. That means fewer handoffs, fewer errors, and a visual that holds up when opposing counsel starts checking the math. Generalist trial-graphics firms cover every kind of case. We go deep on the ones that turn on numbers.
Why trial teamschoose us.
A strategy partner with financial fluency, not just a production shop.
01
Financial Fluency, Built In.
We read general ledgers, bank statements and damages models ourselves, and we catch the inconsistencies before opposing counsel does.
02
Strategy First, Then Design.
We start with your theory of the case and the case story you need to tell, then work with counsel on what each exhibit needs to prove before any design begins.
03
Every Figure Ties to the Record.
Each exhibit cites its source documents, so your team can defend every number and every date.
04
Senior, Fast and Lean.
You work directly with the senior people doing the work, on your court and mediation deadlines, without the overhead of a national trial-consulting firm.

what we build
OurCapabilities
From a single exhibit for next week's hearing to full visual support through trial.
Book a free case consultationWe work with counsel on which facts need a visual, what each exhibit must prove and the order they're shown, before any design begins.
Clear sequences of events, communications and transactions, including side-by-side timelines of what was said against what happened, built to reveal step by step as counsel walks through them.
Money movement across accounts, entities and people, traced back to the record.
Damages models, lost profits and financial analyses turned into charts a non-expert can read at a glance.
Short visual primers that teach a jury how something works, like a wire transfer, a general ledger or a Ponzi scheme, before the evidence, plus visuals that help your forensic accountant or economist explain their findings on the stand.
Opening and closing slides, mediation and settlement decks, and printed boards in the formats your team uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you'll find answers to common questions about our litigation graphics work.
Commercial and financial litigation, especially fraud, securities, white-collar, receivership, bankruptcy and breach of fiduciary duty matters, as well as business valuation, contract, insurance coverage and accounting malpractice disputes. More broadly, any case where complex data or a long timeline has to be explained to people who aren't experts, which makes the work especially valuable in jury trials.
Our financial exhibits are led by a senior designer who is also a licensed CPA, supported by our senior design team. You work directly with the people doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages.
A short visual primer that teaches the judge or jury how something works before they see the evidence, like how a wire transfer moves through accounts, how a general ledger is kept or how a Ponzi scheme pays early investors. When the fact finder understands the mechanics first, the evidence that follows is easier to follow and easier to remember.
Court and mediation dates don't move, so we plan backward from yours. Tell us the deadline in your consultation and we'll tell you honestly what's realistic.
We build every exhibit from the record and cite the source documents on the exhibit itself, so every number and date can be traced and defended. How and whether an exhibit is used is always counsel's call, and we revise quickly when strategy or rulings change.
Every engagement starts with a conflict check and an NDA, and we work at the direction of counsel. We never work both sides of a matter, and we never publish or describe client work, which is why every sample on this page is built from invented data.
Yes. Experts can bring us in directly to turn their analysis into exhibits that are easier to present and easier to defend on the stand.
Every matter is scoped individually, whether it's one exhibit for a hearing or full visual support through trial. After a free case consultation, you'll get a clear estimate before any work begins.
