When it comes to trials, the stories you tell can make or break your case. Whether it's the story of a BP/Deepwater Horizon explosion, a George Floyd Civil Rights Case, or even two back-to-back Bakersfield record verdicts, we've seen the power of storytelling in courtrooms time and time again.
It's not just about what you sayâit's about how you say it. When you're crafting your argument during trial, you need to think about more than just facts: You need to consider how those facts will affect jurors' opinions and judgments of your client. In order to do this effectively, you need to be able to craft compelling narratives that connect with people on an emotional levelâand that's where our team comes in to measure that impact before your actual delivery!

Punitive damages are awarded to a plaintiff in addition to compensatory damages.
Punitive damages are awarded when the defendant's conduct is especially egregious. In addition to compensatory damages, punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant for his or her actions and discourage similar conduct in the future. Punitive damages may be available when the defendant is particularly malicious or when the defendantâs actions are intentional.
Punitive damages are awarded at the discretion of the jury and are based on their opinion of what amount is necessary to deter similar conduct in the future. In some states, punitive damages are limited by statute or case law.
The amount awarded by the jury is usually based on several factors:
the maliciousness or willfulness of the defendant's acts
the degree of aggravation or harm caused by those acts
the financial resources of the defendant
In most cases, punitive damages are only available in civil cases where compensatory damages are available.
