Testimonials
From Elkan Abramowitz, Morvillo Abramowitz
"I can't imagine trying a case without the assistance of Julie Blackman and her extraordinary team. Not only do they bring enormous insight to the jury selection process, they also provide invaluable assistance in witness preparation and, yes, attorney preparation as well. As a trained psychologist with a superb ability to communicate, she understands what themes and language best presents your case and works energetically and tirelessly to help achieve the best result. I can't recommend her highly enough."
From Michael Dowd, Law Offices of Michael G. Dowd
"I have worked with Julie Blackman for almost thirty years. The work has been both educational and extraordinarily successful. From mock trials to jury work and witness preparation she and her group have no peer. She is the best. Period."
From Robert Goldman, Ropes & Gray, Palo Alto
"Julie has worked with us on complex intellectual property cases for almost 20 years. She excels at helping to identify the non-technical elements of a dispute that bring those cases to life, to make them accessible to Courts and juries. Julie's skill as a communicator helps witnesses maximize their potential to make themselves understood in a Courtroom environment. She and her colleagues always add value to a team getting ready for trial."
From Frederick P. Hafetz, Hafetz & Necheles
I have worked extensively with Julie Blackman in preparation for jury selection and in actual jury selection. She has been of invaluable assistance to me. Her insights, experience and judgment are great assets to any defense attorney.
From Arthur Hankin, Blank Rome, Philadelphia
"Our firm and client were extremely pleased with a large focus group project involving over 200 participants used to gauge potential jury reaction to a very sensitive and complex matter that was expected to be going to trial within the following several months. The project required innovation, complex analysis and great organizational skills, all of which was demonstrated by Julie and her partners and team. We could not have been more satisfied."
From Jesse Jenner, Ropes & Gray, New York
"I have worked with Julie for more than fifteen years on a variety of intellectual property litigations, including cases that went through jury trial. I have relied on Julie for assistance on all jury issues (and non-jury too), including preparation and conduct of one and two-day mock jury research/trials, analysis of the local jury pool, jury selection in court, witness preparation, opening and closing statements, and other issues on which I could expect to benefit from her demonstrated expertise. Julie has been a close colleague and never let me down. I will be looking for her for the next case, too!"
From Andrew H. Schapiro, Mayer Brown
"The work that Julie and her team did to help us win a high-stakes securities fraud trial — from running a mock trial exercise to advising on trial themes to helping with jury selection — was absolutely essential to the result. And the work was conducted in the most focused, professional way imaginable. There is no jury consultant I would rather have at my side in any important litigation."
From Herbert F. Schwartz, Ropes & Gray
"Julie's help has been invaluable. Her talents and skills run across all aspects of litigation: openings, closings, and witness preparation, as well as more conventional jury research."
From C. Evan Stewart, Zuckerman Spaeder
"Julie Blackman is, quite simply, the best in her field. Not only does she bring an enormous wealth of talent, expertise and experience to the entire jury process (from statistical research and surveys, to mock jury trials, to the selection process, etc.), but she also has a keen intellect and sensitive insights into people, skills which are invaluable resources in important trials. To try a critical case without Julie Blackman would be like flying blind."
From John "Rusty" Wing, Lankler, Siffert & Wohl
"My enormous respect for Julie Blackman's expertise is based in part on the fact that out of the four complex white collar criminal trials in which she assisted us select the jury, only one trial ended with a guilty verdict. Ms. Blackman is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and talented jury consultant with extensive experience in assisting lawyers understand and select jurors in both criminal and civil cases. Over the years she has been retained to assist many of the top white collar criminal defense lawyers in New York, some of whom were involved in major high profile cases. In my view Julie is as good, if not better, than anyone in the business."
From Marc Wolinsky, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
"Julie and her colleagues provided extraordinary service in helping us distill a complex case for the jury. They made a major contribution to every aspect of the jury presentation, and provided insights gained from telephone surveys, focus groups, mock juries and their own wealth of experience and common sense. We could not have asked for more."
