At any stage of the dispute resolution process, C.M. Bates Consulting can assess the strengths and vulnerabilities of your case and provide you with strategic and tactical recommendations.

Trial consulting is more than identifying the right jurors. It’s about understanding how jurors think and form opinions. At C.M. Bates Consulting, our primary job is to provide you with the information you need to understand how the decision makers are thinking as your case evolves. Dr. Bates brings both her years of experience as a practicing attorney, and her expertise in strategic communications to establish the best strategies and approaches for successful trying your case.

Our research reports are more than a mere “data dump” of information.  We provide you with data-driven recommendations, including specific strategies for presenting your case. When you understand what decision makers think about your case, and how they reach their decisions, you make more informed choices about strategies and tactics-at every step of the case.
