Overwhelmed by the hours spent sifting through evidence, the attorney turned to TrialKit. Unlike fragmented tools, TrialKit handles multiple media formats, allowing him to upload audio, visual, and text content seamlessly. The software automatically organized everything into intuitive, easily searchable labels, making evidence readily accessible and useful during hearings. TrialKit’s advanced video recognition software enabled him to quickly search for people, objects, and even emotions within the footage, further streamlining the review process.

Managing overwhelming caseloads and massive digital discovery

As a public defender with over a hundred clients, efficient time management is crucial. One attorney in the public defender's office faced an especially daunting challenge: handling numerous traffic cases, each with extensive evidence, including dozens of hours of body cam footage. Reviewing this evidence manually was a massive time sink. Each case typically involved multiple officers, resulting in 2-3 hours of recorded footage per officer. Traditionally, his team had to painstakingly review all the videos multiple times to identify relevant parts, check for missing evidence (discovery violations), and create transcripts with timestamps for witness statements. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, making effective representation nearly impossible.

Hundreds of hours saved and improved case outcomes

With TrialKit, the attorney drastically reduced his time spent on digital discovery from 100 hours to just a handful. He was astounded by how much work was done automatically and in minutes. The time saved in organizing and searching through evidence allowed him to focus more on building comprehensive defense strategies. Additionally, TrialKit’s reliable translation feature enabled him to bypass interpreters for his Spanish-speaking clients, cutting down on delays and enhancing communication.

The organized discovery and metadata capabilities of TrialKit also helped the attorney detect several instances of discovery violations, which he successfully litigated in pre-trial motion hearings. By leveraging TrialKit’s powerful features, he not only saved valuable hours but also strengthened his defense, ultimately achieving better outcomes for his clients.
