". . . we look forward to continuing our relationship into the future." 

​

"In 2003 the Litigation Group within Michelin North America, Inc. began a national search for a trial presentation firm to work with us on a continuing basis in preparing presentation materials for mediations and trials, primarily in product liability matters. In consultation with the outside regional counsel who represent us, this search culminated in the selection of Jil Wyland and Litigation Presentation, Inc. We were initially swayed by our evaluation of the expected cost, responsiveness, and work quality of the team at Litigation Presentation, and our choice has been validated by our experience working with LP over the years. 

The stability of our ongoing relationship and solid knowledge of our people and their needs have been key to our successful experience. Our outside attorneys have been particularly complimentary on the responsiveness and quality of the presentation materials produced. 

The ability of LP to post images in a secure area on their web site for viewing by us, our outside attorneys, and other members of our team in any location has proven to be a very useful technical strength as materials are prepared, often with short lead times and last minute changes. 

​

We asked LP to develop a means for us to digitally archive in a searchable form the images, references, and other materials that we have used in our matters. We worked with the team to develop the parameters for storing information in the archive and have successfully populated with materials. Such an archive has been valuable to us in our preparations for current and future presentations streamlining efficiency. 

In summary, our experience with Litigation Presentation, Inc. has been excellent, and we look forward to continuing our relationship into the future."

Since the beginning of the working relationship 20 years ago, LitPres has worked on over 80 matters and maintains the national MNA demonstrative respository.

 

"I would not hesitate to work with Jil again, or to recommend her to anyone with a need for competent, effective, and high-quality trial exhibits."

​

I worked with Jil Wyland in my role as Technical Director, Litigation in the Legal Department at
Michelin North America, Inc from 2011 until my retirement at the end of 2022. Through her
company, Litigation Presentation, Inc Jil supported our products liability defense work with the
ideation, creation and cataloging of deposition and trial demonstratives and exhibits since well
before I took my position and throughout my time in the role.

Jil continually demonstrated thoroughness, accuracy and the highest quality in her work. She
consistently was able to understand the highly technical and often highly complex aspects of our
products and very effectively convey that to lay audiences through her graphics and exhibits. The
fact that Jil has worked with Michelin consistently over so many years, and across several iterations
of internal Michelin personnel, has put her in the position of being the curator of a large body of
prior Michelin work. Her knowledge of, and quick access to, historical work has enabled Michelin
to quickly and efficiently recall, update and repurpose previous exhibits.

Jil has also demonstrated the ability to comprehend and incorporate new technologies into her
work product. In one case that I was personally involved with, she utilized three-dimensional laser
scanning of a fracture surface, solid modeling and 3-D printing to create 'hands on' exhibits for trial
that played a significant role in the ultimately successful defense of our product. This was a first for
Michelin and I am quite sure for our industry.

I would not hesitate to work with Jil again, or to recommend her to anyone with a need for competent, effective, and high-quality visual strategy.

“The Repository really is great!!! Thank you so much for your great efforts. It is nice to have all of our standard demonstratives that are used for every trial placed into one interactive repository. Not to mention that it is easy to use and visually pleasing. You guys rock!”

“It was a great settlement for the client, but we were all a little bummed because we were raring to go.  You're right, the demonstratives would have been great!! Looking forward to working with you soon.”

“We put the witnesses on yesterday. They did great. The visual aid comparing the email to the Antec figure was very effective. The Court understood that Ultra came up with the idea and that it had "removable cables.". The issue will come down to whether a 4 line email is sufficient to convey a "technical solution" and not just an idea.

Thanks for all of your very important work. The Court was "wowed" by the visual aids -- a job well done.”

“Yesterday's trial was 4 hours, the animation was there all the time. The judges did frequently look at the screen, actually the wall, when they heard witnesses and lawyers' statements. It was effective. Thank you very much for your efforts!”

Should anyone ask, I will highly recommend you to anyone needing visual presentations for trial!”

“The graphics were great, and the presentation was extremely helpful, especially the CLOSING! The pictures of the witnesses and their testimonies were very helpful in remembering who said what during the trial.”
