Trial Skills:

Our success in the courtroom depends primarily upon two things. First, we are better prepared and informed than our opponents. Second, we recognize that many cases turn on technical and complex issues that must be made simple and interesting for a jury to understand.

Our in-house staff includes people with medical, engineering, aviation, insurance, and business backgrounds. Our lawyers and staff are educationally and culturally diverse and do nothing but high-stakes litigation. This enables us to assign the best team for the particular demands of each case.

We partner with our sophisticated clients to understand their business, their products, and their objectives. Learning from our client’s knowledge and experience and involving them in each stage of the case is our first step towards achieving a successful result.

Choosing the right experts is essential to winning the case. Our network of experts and legal resources is unrivaled. We locate experts who “wrote the book” and are unassailable on cross-examination. Too often, firms don’t spend the time necessary to assure that they have gotten the best. At Thornton, Davis & Fein we pride ourselves on this critical aspect of complex case defense.

The ability to make the complex appear simple and interesting is the key to winning over a jury. Trial exhibits and creative, demonstrative ways to show and tell our client’s story are the cornerstones of a successful trial. It takes time. It takes focus. It takes experience. Thornton, Davis & Fein excels at partnering with its clients to develop effective trial exhibits/demonstrations as part of case preparation well in advance of the actual trial.

Efficiency and Costs:

Adherence to budgets and avoidance of financial surprises is the linchpin of our success in efficiently managing litigation. We have developed innovative ways of accomplishing this very important goal. Early evaluation and resolution programs, flexible fee arrangements, and written litigation plans that accompany each bill are part of the Thornton, Davis & Fein business operation. Costs are further minimized through office efficiencies, effective time management, and the use of appropriate levels of personnel for the best billing rate. Our state-of-the-art computer system allows our clients to receive electronic or paper billing in any level of detail requested.
