If you retain her early, Splash is worth her weight in gold because she will force you to get ready early and help you in developing your theme of the of the case, a great voir dire, a phenomenal opening … you will not believe how good she is in preparing the plaintiff and any damage witnesses, to testify. She is invaluable in jury selection, and will set up a mock jury selection that will make your real jury selection 2 or 3 times better if you’re in a strange venue for the first time. Then, when all the hay is in the barn, she can give you ideas, power point slides and a damage number that will have a powerful effect on your jury and make the defense attorney wish he had settled your case.

Beverly “Splash” Abbott is a trial consultant extraordinaire and a Trial Lawyer’s secret weapon in any complex/catastrophic injury case. She will help you find the winning needle in the haystack in even the most difficult of cases. Bringing the perfect blend of medicine, legal nurse consulting with uncanny intuition, she will help you frame your case for maximum and winning impact. And all the while she will keep you in stitches, as her sense of humor, wit and levity make her tremendously fun to work with. A Trial Lawyer’s best Friend, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I highly recommend Ms. Abbott as a trial consultant! She remains calm under pressure, has an unrelenting work ethic, and truly understands all of the nuances and challenges that compromise today’s jury! Beverly Abbott, aka “Splash” should really be called the “client whisperer.“ During our last trial, Ms. Abbott proved to be extremely valuable member of our team, not only for the insightful and invaluable assistance she provided to  our trial team, but Ms. Abbott connected with, reigned in, and prepped the most challenging Plaintiff our firm has ever presented to a jury, which is saying a lot given that the lawyers in the firm have tried a combined amount of over 100 jury trials.

This is the BEST trial consultant anywhere.  I have used Beverly on 3-4 large verdict cases, and she is great.  She will assist with trial and depo questions/prep and is invaluable at trial.  She reads the jurors like a book.  I would NEVER go to trial without her on my team.

I met Splash at Mark Lanier Trial Conference 2 years ago and we have worked together on catastrophic injury cases against top US corporations. From case strategy, case themes, discovery decisions and research early on to assisting with order of proof, demonstratives, jury questionnaires, voir dire questions and cause challenge sheets at the beginning of trial.  She works tirelessly with the team during the trial as well as representing the juror outlook at every point. This is the only trial consultant that I have worked with who is as invested with the clients as my firm.  Splash is a wonderful addition to our trial team.

The first thing that strikes you is her passion for what we do. When she is on your team, she is all in. Her help in preparing examinations of witnesses, power points and other demonstratives for making sure a jury understands what you want them to understand is invaluable. And, her understanding of people that is so helpful during jury selection and her evaluation of how the jury is responding to your case really makes her unique. In a crowded field, Beverly stands out!
