Face Reading (Physiognomy, Personology)
Body Language, and Behavioral Psychology

 

To Unmask The Juror
Using face reading, body language, and behavioral psychology, we can uncover the biases that jurors rarely broadcast in open court. Counterbalance Consulting offers the lawyer tools to discover potential jurors' attitudes, belief systems, behaviors, and predetermined mind sets that make them unacceptable for your jury. This can all be done in minutes and without the juror's cooperation or opposing counsel's knowledge.

Jury Selection
Who serves on the jury matters at least as much as what the jurors see and hear at trial.
Because juror biases form verdicts, the composition of your jury is always critical.

I assist the trial team to develop open ended questions that require a person to exit left brain -the side most likely to be rout and habitual response - and enter right brain, where you will more likely receive a more truthful response. Together we can create insightful voir dire questions and develop the ideal jury strategy designed to the unique issues of each case.

Equipped with my insights of face reading, body language, and behavioral psychology, attorneys can dismiss the jurors who will be least favorable to their case.

For example: did you know the brain does not recognize words like don't ? Attorneys often tell the jury to not consider race, age, etc. What they do not realize is that they have just caused each juror's brain to bring to the forefront of the mind every basis they have on the topic.

DON'T BELIEVE ME----DON'T THINK OF A PINK ELEPHANT. . . .
What instantly came into your mind???? . . . . . . . . I REST MY CASE.

Let me unmask your jury.




Trial Consulting
Attorneys and their trial team working on a case for months or years often struggle to see the complex data and evidence from the perspective of a juror. My fresh discerning eye assists to translate perplexing information and legal arguments into a compelling trial presentation easily understood by jurors.

Research shows 85 to 90% of jurors exhibit predecision biases and do not change their verdict following the conclusion of opening statements.

Jurors view the issues and information presented in trial very differently from trained attorneys.

My fresh discerning eye assists to translate perplexing information and legal arguments into a compelling trial presentation easily understood by jurors. You still do it your way, just better.

Take this first step.

Trial Monitoring
Strategic planning during the trial:

  • Monitor juror reactions to opening statements, witnesses, demonstrative evidence, and reporting to counsel the juror's nonverbal reactions to all presented.
  • Reporting to counsel the aspects that jurors appear to be confused about.
  • Provide daily analysis of jurors giving the trial team new insight to better determine their future trial approach.

You owe it to your client . . . . . But don't take my word for it, find out for yourself.




Juror Questionnaires
Jurors are more likely to admit to biases in a jury questionnaire than in voir dire. Questionnaires clearly offer an opportunity to ask questions that could not be asked in open court. My in depth analysis alerts your perceptions and provides you a new assessment of each juror in the pool.

"Never forget, almost every case has been won or lost when the jury is sworn in."  Clarence Darrow

Questionnaires are based on a case-specific analysis using your preferred plaintiff or defense juror profile.

Questionnaires identify attitudes, beliefs, and life experiences that will affect jurors processes during deliberations.

Questionnaires, when allowed, provide specific insights into the jurors whom you will need to question during voir dire and the line of questioning necessary to harness the power of your jury.

Is it your aim to win your case or limit liability? Jurors who will award large damages are different from jurors who will find liability.

Decode and harness the mind-set of your jurors with my in depth assessment of each juror in the pool.

There is just one conclusion:
