The Difference
Built by litigators.For litigators.
We spent years at counsel table wishing the support team understood the room.
So we built the one we wanted.
The Advantage
The vendor you wereassigned can’t do this.
Most vendors give you a technician who runs the software. We give you a hot-seater trained by trial lawyers to run the moment — reading the jury, anticipating the objection, and moving before you have to ask. That is the difference between support and a second chair.
Five Reasons Firms Switch
Founded by Trial Lawyers
2nd Chair was founded and is led by practicing Texas trial attorneys — not an AV company that added a legal vertical. Every technician is trained by the founders to the same standard, so the whole team works the way trials actually run.
We Speak Litigator
No explaining, no translating. Say “impeach with the prior” and it is already on the screen. Terminology, evidentiary stakes and trial rhythm need no introduction.
Strategy, Not Just Execution
Our people read the room. They tell you what is landing and what is not, in real time, while you are on your feet and cannot watch the box yourself.
Defensible by Design
Every demonstrative is sourced to the record and documented to withstand a foundation objection or a Rule 403 challenge. Persuasive is worthless if it does not come in.
The Same Cost as the Vendor You Were Assigned
Carriers that have seen us work now approve us by name. You get litigator-built trial support for the price of a technician.
Texas trial lawyers who built 2nd Chair around what they needed at counsel table.
The 2nd Chair Standard
Nothing leftto chance.
Redundancy as Standard
Duplicate hardware, mirrored files and offline copies. An equipment failure is never the reason your exhibit does not come in.
We Arrive Early
Setup, court liaison and a full dry run in the actual courtroom before the first juror is seated.
Absolute Discretion
Your strategy stays in the room. We work under your privilege and inside your protective orders.
How an Engagement Works
Consultation toverdict.
Free Consultation
We review the matter, venue and trial date, then scope exactly what the case needs.
Pre-Trial Build
Exhibits, graphics, eBriefs and research built and pressure-tested before you walk in.
Trial Execution
We embed with your team and run the operational side start to finish.
Tell us the venue. Tell us the trial date.
We’ll tell you exactly how we can help.
No obligation, no pitch deck. If the case does not need us, we will say so — but if a visual can win it, you’ll want us in the second chair.
