Hear It From Our Clients
In today’s day and age, attorneys litigating cases with digital evidence need Connecticut’s own Litigation Solutions, LLC on their team. We have utilized LS in the past and have found their assistance to be invaluable in and out of the courtroom. Just recently we concluded a month-long triple homicide trial. Discovery in the case was voluminous: thousands of police reports; dozens of written statements; hundreds of photographs; several surveillance videos and witness interviews in various formats; numerous phone extractions with enormous data; and well over 200 exhibits in a variety of formats. With LS’s Luke Foran on the defense team, our data management of admitted evidence was in good hands. We were able to scan and copy all exhibits entered into evidence (in real time, right in the courtroom) and then publish those exhibits to the jury with superior technology – including on-the-fly annotations (such as zooming in and circling or inserting an arrow to a critical piece of evidence) – while conducting witness examinations and closing arguments. Luke also created timelines to aid the jury during certain witness examinations and assisted in putting together a PowerPoint presentation – with annotated exhibits, transcripts, and quotes from prior testimony/interviews – to illustrate to the jury significant pieces of evidence. We highly recommending LS and cannot imagine trying a complex case without them.

I have worked with Marie on several different projects. She is a leader in litigation and trial support technologies. I frequently recommend her services to others and do so without hesitation. Not only is Marie highly skilled and proficient in use of technologies, but she has an unmatched depth of knowledge and experience as to what works in litigation and trial.
She is a great asset to any litigation or trial team.

Litigation Solutions has assisted us with a number of significant complex cases with very creative and clear evidence presentations. Their unique talent is to join in the preparation process and then to allow us to focus at trial without worry about whether the jury is ‘getting it.’
They beat expectations every time.

With the help of Litigation Solutions at trial we were able to keep the jury focused on the key facts of the case through a creative presentation and graphics perfectly orchestrated to plug-in relevant testimony and documentary evidence to the time line of our case.
Litigation Solution’s production staff is not only outstanding in terms of their skill and professionalism, but they were dedicated to serving our client and were available to us at a moment’s notice.

I’ve been fortunate to work with Marie Mullaney and her excellent team twice in recent years.
In the first instance, among her many contributions, Marie enabled three attorneys working from three different offices to share access to an extensive database of case-related materials that Litigation Solutions created from a massive set of paper documents. Her team then supported us through a lengthy trial, serving as the proverbial backbone of the operation.
Turning quickly to another trial, Litigation Solutions provided invaluable assistance, most notably in helping prepare a well-received closing argument (presentation).
Beyond Litigation Solutions’ professionalism, which, by now, should be a given, I find the team’s insights into the trial process (for example, how jurors receive evidence or potential argument) extremely useful.

I had the privilege of working with Marie Mullaney on two trials and several other projects since I met her back in 2003. Marie was brought in for her expertise with CaseMap, CT Summation and TrialDirector. I’ve worked with her from start to finish; from setting up databases, to downloading documents, transcripts and video, to ultimately using the information at trial. Marie has command over every facet. During one of the trials, Marie assisted with presenting evidence with TrialDirector for approximately five weeks. Her knowledge and ability with using TrialDirector made the presentation of evidence seamless. It was like watching a scripted show.
Her expertise, dedication and professionalism have left me nothing but impressed. I would honestly recommend her to anyone.

I wish that all trial lawyers would take a minute and experience how almost any trial can be transformed by the technology that Marie Mullaney, of Litigation Solutions, has mastered.
The glazed stare of a jury numb from dull repetitive questioning will be the rare exception. Trial exhibits whether documents, illustrations, video, deposition or trial testimony can all be used to tie questions with answers by the use of a visual aid. The elicitation of testimony goes from dry and pedantic to visual, auditory and fluid. The testimony is presented in a modality that has become the way people learn in daily life.
You see a jury transfixed with an array of documents enlarged and highlighted and able to be spontaneously used to challenge a witness or to allow an expert to further elucidate a point being made; an illustration presented large, bright and colorful; a six foot high x-ray clearly showing a rod protruding into a knee joint; the video of the witness’s deposition testimony presented to contradict and impeach; or a passage from the trial testimony six foot high that directly contradicts the witness testimony at trial.
Marie Mullaney is ahead of the curve. The technology she offers has changed to way I present evidence to the jury.
I can not recommend her expertise strongly enough.
I would be more than happy to answer any question about the conclusions I’ve expressed here.

Marie and her staff are technically superb, but they are so much more. How can I put it? They are ghost jurors and cheerleaders and antidotes to fading memory. As ghost jurors, they watch the proceedings with keen interest and, at the end of the day, can provide valuable insights into the progress of the trial. As cheerleaders, they become committed advocates of the side they are assisting, and, at the end of the day (especially bad days) they encourage and goad us on.
As antidotes to fading memory, they learn the documents so well that if you ask them “Didn’t some guy say something that had to do with something?” they will retrieve in a minute or two the document that you can almost remember. (They are even faster if you can be just a little more precise.)
I can hardly wait for Marie’s new project — an efficient and economical way to moot your presentations before mock juries electronically — to be up and running.

Our experience with Litigation Solutions, LLC in the matter of Bridgeport Harbour Place I, LLC v. Ganim, et al in Complex Litigation in Waterbury, and again in Grogan v. Jilani, tried last fall before Judge Everleigh, was tops. The performance in the courtroom as well as the assistance that they gave us in both trials was terrific. We recommend Litigation Solutions, LLC to any lawyer in need of computer assistance in the courtroom.

Litigation Solutions allows the trial lawyer to clearly and efficiently present important visual evidence to a jury. I have used Litigation Solutions to show photos, maps, diagrams and cell phone records at trial in a way that allows the entire jury to follow along without the need to continually pass exhibits to each juror. The technology employed by Litigation Solutions also allows the lawyer to visually isolate a key portion of an exhibit and thereby keep the jury’s attention focused on the important parts of the case.
I have been very pleased with Litigation Solutions and plan to retain the company for future trials.

Litigation Solutions has been an invaluable asset to our firm when preparing and presenting electronic evidence at trial. The visual effect of presenting electronic evidence using trial presentation software is far more effective than passing paper throughout a courtroom. The jury becomes increasingly more engaged and alert. Marie Mullaney is on the cutting edge for litigation support and trial presentation needs.

Litigation Solutions and Marie Mullaney provided superb service to us as we prepared for, and then tried, a federal death penalty case. They helped us organize a large amount of documents, worked with us closely in terms of coordinating exhibits with witness examinations, and were invaluable to us during trial. The fact that they were in control of the demonstrative presentation of exhibits to the jury freed us up to focus on all the other pressing issues at trial.
Marie and others in her office were always available to us, including the inevitable 11th hour changes to examinations. Their patience, willingness to modify things when needed, and understanding that last minute changes are an inevitable part of trial made their services incredibly valuable to us.
br/>On top of that, their professionalism, coupled with their enthusiasm and positive outlooks, made them an extremely valuable part of the defense team in court. Since our extremely positive interaction with Marie, I have recommended her to numerous attorneys, and can say that all I have ever heard, in terms of other attorney’s experience, is glowing praise.
I recommend without hesitation the services provided by Marie Mullaney and her staff at Litigation Solutions.

It’s such a pleasure to work with someone who is good at what they do, and Marie Mullaney is just superb. When we have worked together she has made the technology work cleanly and has been able to integrate the visual and audio presentations seamlessly with the other parts of our trial presentation. Marie has also been able to put together exhibits and modify documents on the fly, and she regularly has great suggestions for improving our presentation. Last but not least, she is cool and calm in a pinch.
Working with her is always one of the best parts of any trial.

Litigation Solutions is an incredibly competent and extremely skilled trial consultant. Its proficiency with the TrialDirector program allowed us to present a fact intensive, document heavy trial in a manner that was readily understandable to the jury. We were able to focus the jury’s attention on the most relevant and persuasive points in the evidence and we were able to turn what could have been a complicated closing argument into a seamless, compelling story. Marie Mullaney, in particular, became a valuable part of the trial team. She was both responsive and insightful.
We have since used Litigation Solutions to train our paralegals with both the Summation and TrialDirector programs. Marie has a been a great teacher.

Dear Marie – I just wanted to write to tell you how pleased we all were with the services Litigation Solutions provided in our case, Rock Acquisition v. State of Connecticut. This was an extremely difficult and complicated case. The hard work of you and everyone at Litigation Solutions allowed us highlight and effectively explain our position to the Court in addition to revealing the defects in the defendant’s case and arguments. Also, your insights in to how to best visually present our proof and a time line during the trial was invaluable. In twenty five years of trying cases in the State and Federal Courts I have never seen a more professional litigation support organization. I cannot thank you enough. Also, I cannot recommend Litigation Solutions highly enough. If we are ever in need of litigation support we will call Litigation Solutions. Thanks again. Jay Skelton.

I was recently part of a three-lawyer team who represented a Plaintiff in a multi-party five-month trial. I can say unequivocally that Litigation Solutions provided us with an edge we would have never had. Marie Mullaney, the principal, kept us on track, made impressive evidence exhibits and handled video, sound and print with ease.
Anyone contemplating such an endeavor should talk to Marie and find out how she can help you make a more effective presentation. Litigation Solutions is clearly the best at what they do.William J. Sweeney, Jr., Esq.
