"What sets Diane apart from your typical graphics consultant is that she is both a smart consultant to experts and trial lawyers, as well as an incredibly talented artist with cutting-edge tools. In 3 decades of working on big-ticket cases, many with Diane, she is, without doubt, the best at truly understanding complex ideas and turning them into stunning and memorable visual teaching tools for the jury."

Ellen L. Leggett, Ed.D. | President | California LJR, LLC | Pasadena, CA
"I have worked with Lucid CGI several times. Each time, I have been provided with excellent work product. Diane understands how to bring to life, amazing, detailed, visually accurate, and appealing graphics. Diane and her team are client-oriented, providing timely, cost-effective, visually stunning demonstrative evidence that is not only foundationally sound, it is what the jury uses to see the evidence in a memorable way. Diane is a consummate professional, with an understanding of the intersection of legal and visual evidence presentation. Lucid CGI gets it and I will continue to use them in complex litigation matters requiring a skilled graphical depiction of complex evidentiary concepts."

Heidi A. Skinner | Deputy Attorney | California Department of Transportation | San Diego, CA
"Lucid CGI worked on a series of three rapid-fire cases, and their counsel and work in that environment were professional and very helpful to our prevailing in all three matters. I heartily recommend their services."

Terry D. Avchen | Partner | Glaser, Weil, Fink, Howard, Avchen & Shapiro LLP | Los Angeles, CA
"Lucid CGI gave us a multi-media visual strategy, for opening statements and witness testimony that was extremely helpful in getting the jury to see it our way. We were able to clearly communicate our story and persuasively discredit the prosecution’s evidence. At the end of a 3 1/2 week criminal trial, our client was acquitted of all charges. I’ll definitely use Lucid CGI again."

Michael J. McCabe | Criminal Attorney | San Diego, CA
"Lucid CGI provides clear and effective animations and demonstratives in complex technical matters without the added overhead that comes from a large animation or graphics firm. Their level of service and attentiveness is excellent."

Jonathan M. Sobel | Partner | Hogan Lovells US LLP | New York, NY
"Diane Suzuki is some kind of genius."

Martin Q. Peterson, Ph.D. | President, FAI | Lincoln, NE
"I’ve worked with Lucid CGI on several matters, particularly patent litigations, over the last ten years. Their work has been consistently excellent. They easily grasp the most complicated technical matters and prepares graphics that clearly and concisely present the material to any audience.... Lucid CGI is the only company that I would use for graphics support in patent cases or any other matter."

Erik N. Videlock | Partner | Pepper Hamilton LLP | Philadelphia, PA
"Lucid CGI teamed with our legal professionals on a complicated two-month antitrust trial that included critical testimony of two Nobel Laureate economists. Lucid’s compelling graphics and animations turned potentially dull, egghead tutorials into spellbinding testimony that captured our jurors’ attention and convinced them of the merits of our cause. I regarded Lucid throughout as an integral partner that consistently delivered creative and powerful advocacy tools."

Charles Diamond | Partner | O'Melveny & Myers LLP | Los Angeles, CA

Lucid CGI provides large-firm support, operationally streamlined to keep costs low. Our broad range of services, from poster boards to virtual reality, allows us to better serve our client’s specific case needs.

We are visual thinkers and storytellers. Using visual strategies that are based on 35 years of trial-tested successes, our presentations communicate quickly, clearly, and with a visual resonance that sticks. Research shows that when clear and concise visual aids are used in combination with speech, 70-80% is retained after a 72-hour period. In contrast, ~10% is recalled when words alone are spoken. Lucid CGI gives the triers-of-fact the tools they need to fight for you.

VISUAL STRATEGY CONSULTING
Experts in the art of advocacy work with you to develop persuasive graphic strategies that bring your arguments to life – strategies based on 35 years of trial-tested successes. Our job is to align jurors’ perceptions and fill in gaps in their experience. We persuasively communicate key points and delineate fact patterns, and craft expert testimony into compelling and easy-to-understand narratives. Our goal is to give the triers of fact the tools they need to fight for you in deliberations.

GRAPHIC DESIGN
INTERACTIVE POWERPOINT | POSTER BOARDS
We keep it clean so that the message is clear. Good design is so much more than making things pretty. It is about creating something that communicates a focused message at a glance.

ANIMATION | LIVE ACTION VIDEO
2D ANIMATION | 3D ANIMATION | LIVE ACTION
Animation and live action video give a feeling of reality and concreteness, dynamically explain the product or action, to get the point across quickly.

REALITY CAPTURE
LASER SCANS | PHOTOGRAMMETRY | MOCAP
Reality capture is the quick collection of accurate data about the real-world — the way the world looks and the way it moves. The data is used to survey sites, measure distances between objects, and create accurate 3D animations.

REAL-TIME 3D
AUGMENTED REALITY | VIRTUAL REALITY | INTERACTIVE 3D
Real-time 3D provides the ultimate flexibility in interacting with 3D models and scenes. The capacities are limitless. You can examine objects at any angle or level of detail, walk through environments or interact with mechanisms and parts. You can also initiate animations, and prompt the display of documents or video on a click.

IN-TRIAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT
HOT SEAT OPERATOR | EXHIBIT DATABASE MGMT | EQUIPMENT RENTAL
For a seamless in-court experience, trial technology professionals create and manage the exhibit database, sync and edit video/audio depositions, design the courtroom equipment layout, and work closely with your trial team for a seamless in-trial experience.
