Well, this approach to get-there-quick-litigation sure sounds smart!
"Any serious trial law firm must have the capability to ‘parachute’ into a problem case and try a matter on short notice.

"With this system, we can send a trial team on short notice to assist clients with emergency needs. We have established relationships with communication vendors to facilitate prompt installation of high speed data circuits and phone lines at any designated trial location.
