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.
Visual communication experts work with your team to define strategies for aligning juror’s perceptions and filling in experience gaps, for persuasively communicating your key points and fact patterns, and crafting 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
Our approach to design is to keep it clean so that the message is clear. Good design is more than making it look good. It about creating something that communicates a focused message at a glance.
2D/3D animation & live action video
2D/3D animation and live action video give a feeling of reality and aliveness, and explains the product or action and get to the point across quickly.
reality capture
Reality capture is the quick collection of accurate data about the real-world — data that can be used to survey sites, measure distances between objects, and create accurate 3D models.
Laser Scanning and Photogrammetry: Laser scanning uses a laser rangefinder to capture the surface shape and color of objects, buildings, and landscapes. Photogrammetry derives data from photos.
Motion Capture: Motion capture (mocap) is used to digitally records the movement of objects or people. Mocap is used to “map” performances onto digital models,

Veteran graphics consultant Diane Suzuki had a vision of a litigation graphics firm that provides a truly robust set of services beyond PowerPoint, video, and animation.
Diane comes out of nationwide litigation consulting firms. When storytelling emerged as the strategic paradigm, she left the firm to enroll in USC’s film school to strengthen her skills.
Film School brought filmic storytelling techniques and a sharper visual vocabulary to her expertise. Moreover, working with filmmakers using extraordinary film tech sparked a vision of a litigation graphics company. Inspired by the technologies used in film-making and the creative minds in the film industry, Diane left film school with a clear vision of a lit support company that provides out of the box innovative solutions. Diane launched Lucid CGI upon graduating.
