AKIN GUMP (Lester Hewitt, Esq.)
“In 2002, we were representing Lufkin Industries, Inc. in a patent infringement case, which was transferred to Wichita Falls from Dallas just before trial. After trying to get a local counsel, and finding out that most of Wichita Falls firms did work for the Plaintiff, I decided to hire a jury consultant. Mary Griffitts was the answer. She immediately engrossed herself in the case in order to validate and where necessary modify our theme points, and attended the entire trial. She not only helped with picking the jury, but spent every day helping to prepare our witnesses so that they would make the best possible presentation to the jury, and they did. Her consultation with me as the lead trial lawyer came not only every evening, but during every break. Her assistance and work with our entire trial team was extraordinary. She’s the best!”

GARDERE WYNNE (Curt Frisbie, Esq.)
“You need Mary on your team, not working against you.”

BROAD CASSELL (Mark Raymond, Esq.)
“Mary Griffitts and her team deliver. It is just that simple. In over 20 years of using experts and consultants on a nearly weekly basis, Mary is at the head of the class. For example, her insight and input not only refocused the trial team, she got the client’s full attention. Her professionalism, intellect, and good nature makes her a pleasure to work with. Certainly these are factors, but the simple fact remains that her efforts saved my client millions of dollars, and in the end that is the touchstone.”

GARDERE WYNNE (Rob Hoffman, Esq.)
“Mary, your insights were amazing. I’m looking forward to working with you on the next big case.”

SLACK & DAVIS (Michael Slack, Esq.)
“Mary’s work on a complex aviation matter was instrumental in the development of our client’s case. Her analysis was on the mark and offered great insight of the issues.”

LEGAL SERVICES P.C. (Robert M. Greenberg, Esq.)
"Invaluable, wonderful, helpful, focusing, thoughtful, precise...what else can one say about the services received from Mary Griffitts and Trial Consulting Enterprises. She and her staff were on target on their comments, suggestions and ideas. They never meddled, they only raised issues - just what a trial team needs. Use them again? I could not be without them again!"

Re: Teaching at Loyola and LSU Law School programs:
"Your participation at the NITA program changed my mind. I restructured the entire program to include YOU in it because I was so impressed (and your ratings from the law students were wonderful; likewise their comments). I picked you because a)I like you as a person, b) I like your approach, c) I trust you to teach at a level that would not insult them, and d) you are very very good at what you do! I also like the "star" patina you convey and the charisma you wear so well."

HERMES SARGENT BATES (Kristen B. Blanford, Esq.)
"As in many cases, the simple fact that a corporate executive is sued causes a great deal of frustration and outright anger. Mary and her team worked closely with the executive to help him to be calm and collected for his deposition testimony. As the case approached trial, Mary's assistance allowed him to communicate effectively and with a great deal of persuasion. Her witness communication training was excellent."

Carmen Mitchell (MITCHELL GOFF)
"Talk about a reality check! Mary’s team provided constructive criticism that allowed us to have greater insight into the pitfalls of our case. Her suggestions gave us a roadmap of what points to change, what evidence to emphasize and most important what kind of juror would be most receptive to our case. Mary’s advice was invaluable and I could not have been more pleased. I will use her again and recommend her to other lawyers without hesitation. “

Mary helped our trial team put together a solid theme for our Railroad Crossing / Train fatality case. Mary assembled a Focus Group that greatly assisted us in narrowing down the core issues of our case. The Focus Group was a true success and thoroughly tested our case, giving us an accurate idea as to the strengths and weaknesses of our case. She also assisted in formulating a game plan for trial, including the order in which to call our witnesses, and how to specifically address the weaknesses of our case to minimize any negative impact on the jurors. Mary provided our firm with an environment conducive to learning and enjoying the experience. Her team was very professional and provided invaluable insight to our case. I look forward to working with Mary again in the future.

I wanted to write and express my appreciation and the appreciation of my client for your efforts in helping us with trial preparation in a major wrongful death case in that was pending in United States District Court in St. Paul Minnesota.

As a direct result of your assistance with a mock trial we were able to identify very clearly the strengths and weaknesses of our case. I was particularly impressed with how you were able to identify prospective jurors that reflected accurately the cross section of the community from which our panel would be selected. The post trial interview process was especially informative and revealing.

With the information that we obtained we were able to negotiate a settlement from a position of strength that particularly pleased our client. Rest assured that we will continue to call on you in the future to provide assistance with our trial preparation strategies

Thanks again for preparing and hosting an excellent focus group. Having now done it twice, it is a superb way prepare the case, well ahead of the real thing, and test out theories. In this case, your team put together a very representative Philadelphia jury which I was very glad to see. The group discussion at the end of the day provided extremely valuable and insightful feedback.
