It is incredibly difficult to prepare a case or a trial without an outside perspective and blindly make critical decisions based solely on your point of view. I have designed my litigation consulting to partner with lawyers and their clients to assist in making the three most important decisions: file, settle or go to trial. Our work together has the capacity to positively impact you and your client. My vision is to help you solve problems and relieve stress so you can feel prepared, aware, and thoughtful about your case, with a partnership based in satisfaction, reliability, and consistency.

"As lawyers, we spend a lot of time preparing so that we perform well. Until we hired Elizabeth, we didn’t appreciate the value of spending the time working with the clients so that they perform well, too. We spend large amounts of money on experts, but it can be a poor investment if our clients aren’t well-prepared. We will not hesitate to call on Elizabeth again."

How Trial Lawyer Elizabeth Larrick can help
Elizabeth has been through every aspect of the trial process, and she’s worked with the best of the best.
From the start of her career, Elizabeth wanted to be in the courtroom and every year she has gone to trial or partnered with a lawyer to help try a case.
While taking part in a one-year fellowship at the Keenan Law Firm in Atlanta, GA, Elizabeth was given the opportunity to work with the renowned trial lawyer, Don Keenan. Under Mr. Keenan’s guidance, she experienced the nitty gritty of trial law, including everything from the organization of documents and small details to adapting to the considerable changes that can happen throughout the trial itself.
During the fellowship, Elizabeth was part of the trial team for a medical malpractice in Louisville, Kentucky, a premises liability in Seattle, WA and a wrongful death in Las Vegas, NV. She also worked first-hand at beach workshops with Mr. Keenan and his referring attorneys.
Her experience with the fellowship, combined with years of experience as a trial lawyer herself – and a penchant for witness testimony preparation – have given her the skills necessary to help other attorneys with their cases. At each trial, she ran focus groups, helped pick the jury, presented witnesses, argued motions, and prepared other lawyers for their direct/cross examinations of defendants and experts.
Elizabeth ran her own law firm for several years after the Keenan Law Firm fellowship. She understands the stress of client expectations, case expenses, and office management. More importantly the decision overload that can happen while working solo, which is why she strongly relied on, and still relies on, focus groups to assist with the challenge of whether to file, when to settle or when to go to trial.
"Consulting with Elizabeth was like getting the perspective of hundreds of focus groups without doing an actual focus group. Elizabeth gave me perspective on my case that I had not fully considered, and I ended up negotiating an incredible offer on my case without the time and expense involved with trial.”
