LITIGATION SUPPORT AND TRIAL PREPARATION

Filley & Associates offers you a wide variety of litigation support services, from on-scene and pre-trial investigation to investigation of witness backgrounds and organization and analysis of exhibits. We listen carefully to your needs. We present options and tender billing to fit the client's needs, based on clearly outlined terms and with a "not to exceed" cap. We respect all applicable laws, as evidenced by our untarnished record.

Our specialized services include:

    Record identification
    Document and evidence retrieval
    Investigative guidance and recommendations
    Witness Handling: Under your direction, we handle control and scheduling of witnesses, while maintaining their good will. We assist you with scheduling and handling of the witnesses for orderly control and effective presentation in court
    Electronic Case Organization: We take your boxes of evidence and scan them, index them and make them searchable. This is the best and most efficient way to organize a large volume of documents. It avoids document misfiling and loss and allows for effective presentation in court.
    Mediation Packages: We assist attorneys and insurance adjusters by providing photographs of the scene, photos of the client or Subject; diagrams of the accident scene and in some cases, animation all assembled into a Power Point mediation package. The package tells the story of the accident and it's catastrophic results and can be assembled for presentation at the mediation, or shared with the insurance company prior to the mediation on CD. This gives the claims committee a chance to see the client, the injuries and the liability picture prior to the mediation. This makes a very effective settlement tool.
    Projects specific to your needs

Our staff maintains a strong focus on the deadlines with which you may be faced. We are flexible and able to work with you to achieve your goals.

"An attorney needs someone who can see the direction a case is taking, capitalize on it, prepare it for mediation, ultimately know what is needed for trial and make the arrangements to get it done."

Attorneys Need an Investigator Who:

  • * Understands that our job is to get you the information you need to present a winning case.
  • * Knows the law as it relates to our work.
  • * Presents information that is easy for you to digest and use
  • * Knows that sometimes you want us to be a team member - someone who has been around the block, can offer insight and help with case strategy.  Other times you want us to work independently and "handle it".
  • * Always keeps in mind that you are under time constraints - court ordered and statutory.  We need to get you information in time for you to act.
  • * Knows that sometimes, you need us to pull a rabbit out of a hat.  We have been successful in doing that enough times to know that sometimes it just takes creativity, acumen and persistence to do just that.
  • * Knows what to say... and what not to say to a witness.
  • * Understands the case strategy and what evidence is needed to support the case strategy.
  • * Understands that sometimes it is just as important to get a negative statement from a witness, recording a witness' lack of knowledge about an event, as it is to get a statement outlining a witness' version of the events.
  • * Is a trained investigator, who asks, "Who, What, When, Where, How, Why" and ties down the details... or explains why a detail is still unclear.
  • * Is reachable by telephone and fax and does not leave you hanging.
  • * Keeps in mind, while interviewing witnesses that you want us to ask the questions you would ask, in the way you would ask them.
  • * Spends time in the most efficient manner possible - and doesn't exceed the case budget.
