Maximize Witness Effectiveness
Jurors determine the credibility of a witness based on their verbal and nonverbal behavior. Evidence provided by a nervous witness is likely to be discounted and may result in a lost case. Jury Consultants at TrialQuest hold PhDs in the social sciences and apply behavior modification techniques such as role-playing and modeling to increase the effectiveness of a witness’ communication during depositions or on the witness stand.
Whether you are planning to present a lay or an expert witness, TrialQuest’s consultants can enhance the effectiveness of their testimony with:
- Evaluations of performance
- Strategic guidance for their role at deposition, trial, or mediation
- Strategies for appropriate demeanor
- Techniques for responding confidently and carefully under direct and cross-examination
- The importance of non-verbal cues, posture, and more
Importantly, the content of a witness’s testimony, or what they say, is not altered. TrialQuest’s Consultants abide by the ethical principles of the American Society of Trial Consultants (ASTC).
