Ken Broda-Bahm

Senior Litigation Consultant at Persuasion Strategies

“Good pre-work. FirstCourt helped us get information from the plaintiff that we needed to evaluate the claim. This would be a significant win and, frankly, should be what we ask for from ADR.”

Kelly Cumberworth Esq.

Claims Manager at Tokyo Marine HCC

First Court was super organized and responsive--they ran like a well-oiled machine. They were very pleasant to work with. The data collected and reporting on the proceedings from First Court on the Warm-Up and Mock Trial was extremely helpful, as was their analysis of the results and suggestions for trial presentation."

Jeff Muskopf

Attorney at SmithAmundsen LLC

"The technology that connected the jurors and the attorneys in real-time, i.e. our ability to read their notes and ongoing discussion was very helpful. I was also very impressed by First Court's ability to monitor juror feedback along the way so that you start developing a sense of which way a juror may be leaning and then using that information to create juror groups with diverse points of view which, inevitably, creates productive discussions during deliberations."
