We Handle the Chaos.You Handle the Case.
Strategic trial support for high-stakes litigation — founded and led by practicing Texas trial attorneys, not an AV company.
The jury starts grading you the moment you stand up. Every second spent hunting a Bates number, wrestling an easel or squaring a page on the ELMO is a second the case is not being tried — and the research says they never get those facts back.

The Research Is Not Close

A Second Chair Who Runs the Tech
Most trial support runs thesoftware. Ours knows the room.
We embed a trial team that reads the jury, anticipates the next move, and carries the operational weight from first strategy session through verdict — because 2nd Chair was built by trial lawyers who have stood at that table themselves, and every hot-seater is trained to their standard.
- A trained hot-seater who thinks like a litigator, not a button-pusher
- Real-time reads on what’s landing with the box
- Redundant hardware — an equipment failure never sinks your exhibit
The Evidence on Evidence
The science hasalready ruled.
Paper exhibits, poster boards and marker boards lose to the way the brain is built. The data is not close.
Measured as what a juror still holds after 72 hours — 10% heard-only versus 65% heard-and-seen. Weiss-McGrath · OSHA · Wharton.

Book a Consultation →Why 2nd Chair
The advantage other vendorsstructurally can’t offer.
Founded by Trial Lawyers
Not an AV company that bolted on a legal vertical. Every checklist and hire is built around how trials actually run.
Defensible by Design
Every demonstrative is sourced to the record to survive a foundation objection or a Rule 403 challenge. Persuasive is worthless if it doesn’t come in.
Same Cost as Your Vendor
Carriers approve us by name. You get litigator-built trial support for what you were already paying a technician.
The One We Get Asked About Most
“If the lawyer can think of it, if the lawyer can dream it up and communicate it to 2nd Chair, 2nd Chair can make it come to life in the courtroom.”
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.
