Why Fortis?

With less than 5% of cases going to trial, the time to win your case is early on in the litigation. FORTIS helps you control the course of litigation and likelihood of success by preparing your client, witnesses, and experts to present optimal testimony at deposition and trial.

Compelling defense testimony drives summary judgment, case dismissal, defense verdicts, and lower settlement values. Our methods have been developed by focusing on these key points. We offer an outside perspective that serves to strengthen the defense, identify deficiencies, and decrease possible exposure. 

While attorneys practice within their specialty, depositions and trial are a form of theatre requiring additional insight and experience. FORTIS attorneys provide that expertise which supplements the lawyer’s skills and strengthens the witness's testimony.  

FORTIS experts are licensed attorneys who establish an attorney-client relationship with the client thereby protecting any communication, consultation, and preparation as privileged. At deposition and/or trial, the opposing party is not entitled to discover any attorney-client information between the witness and the FORTIS attorney.
