Smith & Carson

Social media has become a pivotal arena for uncovering critical evidence in complex litigation. At Smith & Carson, I've seen how detailed social media investigations and forensic captures can make a significant difference for law firms and organizations seeking the truth. With over 45 years in complex fact investigation, our team understands that it's not just about collecting data—it's about gathering evidence ethically and effectively to support our clients' cases. The digital footprints we uncover can be game-changers in legal proceedings, revealing subtle details that traditional methods might miss. Adapting to these advancements is essential, and I'm proud to be part of a team that's at the forefront of this important work. #SocialMediaInvestigation #Litigation #LegalTech

Does State or Venue Play a Role in Jury Verdicts? At Smith & Carson, we often get asked whether the location of a trial - be it the state or venue - impacts the outcome of a jury verdict. The short answer is: yes, it can. Different regions, demographics, and even local attitudes can significantly influence juror behavior. Understanding these subtle dynamics is crucial when preparing for trial. Our comprehensive juror research and analytics services help clients navigate these complexities, providing insights that can shape legal strategies and improve case outcomes. By analyzing the influence of venue on potential jurors, we help mitigate risks and develop stronger, more informed approaches to jury selection. #JurorResearch #LitigationSupport #TrialStrategy #Investigations

In the world of high-stakes litigation, timing is everything. The question we often hear from our Am Law 100 defense firm partners is, "When is the right time to bring in a private investigation firm?" The answer? It depends. Early Assessment: In some cases, it's strategic to involve us as soon as a claim is filed. This proactive approach allows us to begin gathering critical information and building a strong foundation for your defense strategy. Pre-Deposition: We are frequently contacted before depositions take place. This is a crucial juncture where our expertise in witness locates, background investigations, and asset searches can provide invaluable insights to inform your legal team's questioning. Bellwether & Trial Preparation: It's essential to have our investigative support in place well before bellwether selections or trials. Our thorough investigations can help identify key witnesses, uncover hidden evidence, and ultimately strengthen your case. Smith & Carson specializes in litigation support investigations tailored to the unique needs of Am Law 100 defense firms. Our team of experienced investigators has a proven track record of delivering results that matter. #LitigationSupport #Investigations #AmLaw100
