First Court Trials

First Court has researched and settled lawsuits in 41 states over the past 25 years. Check out what some of our top clients think about our work.





Kevin Taylor, Partner Taylor & Anderson, Denver, CO
First Court is my first choice for jury research. The blunt feedback has been extremely valuable in making realistic evaluations on some of our most significant cases.
Chris Dougherty, Shareholder Marshal, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, Philadelphia, PA
I found First Court to be sound in its preparation; perceptive in its identification of the key jury issues; effective in its use of current technology; and professional in its demeanor while managing the presentation of the case. Moreover, I found First Court's personnel to be impressive individuals--men of integrity, personable, motivated, "can-do attitude," and highly credible. Although they are from North Dakota, they could relate and connect in a very effective and meaningful way to inner-city Philadelphia minorities. I will definitely use First Court again if the opportunity arises.
Jerry Galante, Partner Plunkett Cooney, Bloomfield, MI
I have worked with Mike Liffrig at First Court, Inc. on over a dozen test trials since 1998. Each time we conduct another test trial Mike appears with new state of the art technology making the process even better. Mike is always willing to be flexible and accommodate the clients special needs on any given case. I have known him to work through the night to make sure the client is satisfied and the project is not only done right but on time and within budget. Mike and his crew have developed a very cost effective system for achieving accurate and reliable feedback in complex litigation. My experience with First Court has always been 100% positive. I will continue to recommend First Court to my clients and other counsel involved in complex high exposure cases.
Jim Summers, Partner Allen, Summers, Simpson, Lillie & Gresham, PLLC Memphis, TN
First Court is a first class organization that provides an accurate portrait of how a jury might view the issues in a case, as well as the lawyers, the law and important witnesses. The technology used to record observations of the panels provides unique insight into areas of a party's case that need to be improved, and allow clients to make a meaningful analysis of their risk and exposure at trial. The ability to witness the deliberations of 3 jury panels, all of whom were selected from the venue of the trial, will let parties and counsel know immediately if their theories are resonating with a jury. Can't imagine moving forward with a large case without allowing First Court to participate in the trial preparation.
Rick Lind, Esq. Lind Jensen Sullivan & Peterson, P.A. Minneapolis, MN - lindjensen.com
I was a bit apprehensive about the process and skeptical about the benefits. First Court conducted the trial in an efficient, professional and meaningful manner. First Court provided guidance and thoughtful questions for the jurors that resulted in helpful feedback that assisted my client in making decisions concerning further handling of their litigation. First Court made this experience a productive one for the lawyers and their clients. I would highly recommend allowing First Court to guide you through the experience.
