Our Innovation
At Kaplan Johnson Abate & Bird LLP, we understand that there is no one right way to try a case. Knowing this, we tailor our strategy to the type of case, the lawyers on the other side, and the legal tribunal that will hear the dispute. As we prepare a case for trial, the cost-efficient use of technology is always at the forefront of our minds. Whether it is the choice of a web-based platform to organize and review information or the trial presentation software needed to bring a case to life for a judge or jury, we strive to match the technology to the tactical needs of the case.
