Legal Video

Litigation Support Services has long been one of the pioneers in the legal video field. In 1971, Litigation Support Services shot the first video deposition east of the Mississippi River when legal video was recorded on a black and white reel-to-reel videotape. Since that date, we have been a leader in bringing new services to the court reporting industry in Cincinnati and nationwide.

Litigation Support Services has the largest full-time video department in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky and offers more services in-house than any firm in the region. Contact us today at (513) 241-5605 to see how we can help you out.

The video should show the jury not just what happens during the victim's day, but also how it affects the victim and his or her loved ones.

Settlement Videos 

Litigation Support Services helped to pioneer the use of settlement videos in the 1970's. Hundreds of attorneys from around the country have used Litigation Support Services to produce settlement brochures for their clients.

The settlement brochure, in its best form, is used to effectively communicate the "missing piece of the puzzle" to opposing counsel so they can make sound decisions about settling a case. All attorneys know what their experts and the opposing experts will say. What they don't know is the most important factor, how your client and witnesses will tell their story on the stand.

When it comes to a settlement video and obtaining the best outcome for your client, do not be tempted to settle for a local company that says, "Yeah, we can do something like that for you." Experience in the legal arena is crucial when the outcome is so important to your client.  Litigation Support Services has the most experience in producing Settlement Videos, hands down. Litigation Support Services has produced settlement videos for clients in all 50 states, comprising numerous jurisdictions and also presented on the effective use of these videos at numerous state and national legal conventions and seminars.

Accident Reconstruction 

Litigation Support Services accident reconstructions serve to make the seemingly complex understandable for your jury. Whether it is a vehicular accident, work injury or complex medical procedure, Litigation Support Services accident reconstructions can effectively convey your message to a jury.

Litigation Support Services produces two types of accident reconstructions, video composite and animation. Each has advantages in its own right, and we will sit down with you to determine which type of legal accident reconstruction is best for you and your client.

Video Composite Accident Reconstructions

From adding simple graphics and highlights to combining multiple layers of video onto a single clip, Litigation Support Services uses video compositing to enhance and accentuate the video evidence that you have.

Video composite accident reconstructions can have a profound impact on jurors. While being very economical, they allow the juror to see a real-life simulation of what occurred. At the same time, it avoids the stigma of being artificial and cartoonish, which an animation can often carry.

Litigation Support Services' video compositing abilities allow your videos to show the jury exactly what they need to see to understand your case. Often to the point that jurors will gasp or flinch when the moment of truth occurs.

Animation Accident Reconstructions

Litigation Support Services has been producing animated accident reconstructions & medical simulations for lawyers since 1991. Our animations have contributed to record verdicts for attorneys and their clients.

We work closely with all three parties involved, the client, the attorney, and the expert witness. All work is closely supervised by the expert witness to ensure that it withstands the highest scrutiny by the court. Our animations have been used in a wide variety of cases including, but not limited to, medical malpractice, personal injury, patent, and wrongful death.

At Litigation Support Services, we understand that animations are expensive and not cost feasible for all cases. We provide a free initial consultation to discuss the case and determine the best way to present your case to the jury. We would much rather have a satisfied client than a animation that is too much for the case.

Video Enhancement 

It's unfortunate, but we see it every day. As more and more of society becomes familiar with video cameras, more and more people decide they can enter the legal video field. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.

Time and again, attorneys run into a legal videographer using sub-standard equipment and with little knowledge of the field of legal videography. What may have come at a cheaper initial price, ends up being a video of such bad quality that it is unusable.

However, with our computerized digital editing suites, Litigation Support Services can enhance the quality of your sub-standard video and audio tapes. From botched depositions to surveillance tapes to telephone and secret audio recordings, Litigation Support Services has the ability to enhance the quality of bad recordings to a manageable level.

Now we can't work miracles, some audio and video tapings are beyond our help. We'll let you know with a complimentary 1-2 minute test run. However, most tapes can be enhanced to a level of quality that will be usable in a courtroom setting.

If you have a video that needs to be rescued, give Litigation Support Services a call and let us work our magic for you.

No matter what the format, Litigation Support Services has the ability to duplicate or convert your recordings into a usable format. Whether you have VHS, S-VHS, MiniDV or other type of recording Litigation Support Services can convert your videos to the format you need for use in trial

Video Playback 

Litigation Support Services has provided courtroom playback services to Greater Cincinnati attorneys since our founding in 1971. Our original playback equipment consisted of reel-to-reel projectors and projection screens. We led the industry back then and continue to lead the industry today.

Today, the technology has obviously changed dramatically; however, who you should call for your playbacks has not.  Litigation Support Services still leads the industry in all facets of litigation support including courtroom playback.

If you have DVDs or VHS tapes, playback can be made directly from you disk or tape. Litigation Support Services is the only Cincinnati Court Reporting firm that has the ability to perform on-the-fly editing, eliminating both the audio and video from the jury, while allowing the judge full view of the deposition being edited in real-time.

While editing on the fly is a viable option, the best courtroom playback is achieved when your depositions are edited prior to playback. This allows a smooth, uninterrupted playback of your deposition and eliminates the "what are they hiding from me" the pop into juror's heads when they see a black screen during on-the-fly editing.

Do you want the highest quality playback possible to put yourself a step above your opposition during trial. If so, you should use Litigation Support Services from the start for your depositions. We record all depositions in high definition and retain digital files of all recordings. This allows us to edit, output and playback your depositions in high definition via our digital playback equipment.
