Attorney MAM of Yorkville, Illinois, needed help for corporate litigation with a contract breach worth more than half a million dollars. Her particular needs were witness location, review, interrogation and preparation, asset location and post trial litigation services.

A critical issue was whether the Plaintiff was an employee of the Defendant. A key document was procured by Joel W. Ostrander after the witness had left the state. “Having Joel’s assistance is like having a second chair at trial. His court exhibits using Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint were utilized in our opening statement and closing argument. He was also able to find evidence during a recess to impeach a witness already on the stand.

“I have no doubt that his efforts had a dramatic effect on our ability to obtain a verdict of nearly $600,000.”

Attorney GSA of Chicago needed photographs for the appeal of a burglary conviction. His needs included photographs of a gate securing the southwest entrance to an apartment complex, and a front entry and courtyard. He also wanted comprehensive notes on the premises for use in preparation of an affidavit.

We took more than 70 digital photographs and a video. A panoramic picture was provided of several critical areas. The assignment was completed with a full report and submitted in less than a week.

“I couldn’t have a more complete understanding of the premises if I had gone there myself. Use of digital photography and video provided my firm not only the investigation I needed, but quality imagery I can use before a jury or on appeal at a savings of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

“...The pictures were right on the mark.”
