Trial Consulting for Law Firms
High-stakes legal matters demand more than strong arguments. They require clear themes, persuasive case narratives, and a trial strategy that will resonate with jurors, stakeholders and the public. Erin Kramer Consulting works with law firms and leadership teams on trial consulting, litigation communications, mock jury and focus group preparation, voir dire strategy and narrative development for complex, high-visibility matters.
Drawing on a decade in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Erin helps legal teams sharpen themes, strengthen presentations and align communications with legal goals. We help lawyers — and their clients — communicate clearly and persuasively when the stakes are highest.
Erin is the most experienced and respected communications strategist I have worked with. She translates complicated issues into understandable, clear messages and has the respect of reporters across the country. She is amazing in a crisis. Erin navigated the Manhattan D.A.’s Office through unprecedented media attention and turned the D.A.’s vision for safety and fairness into reality.

Litigation Communication
EKC helps clients communicate clearly and credibly during complex legal matters. We support attorneys and leadership teams in developing messaging that aligns with legal strategy, anticipates scrutiny and builds confidence with key audiences. From public positioning to internal communications, we help ensure every message supports the larger case narrative.
Trial Preparation
EKC helps trial teams refine the themes, arguments, and presentations that matter most. From mock jury work to strategic input on openings, closings and voir dire, we help teams understand what resonates and where persuasion can be strengthened. Our role is to bring an outside strategic lens to the moments when clarity, credibility and persuasion are critical.
Case Narrative Development
Legal documents often shape public understanding long before a case is resolved. EKC helps clients think strategically about how complaints, filings and key statements will be interpreted when publicly reported on and discussed. We help sharpen language, clarify framing and support a case narrative that is both legally sound and publicly understandable.
