A litigator uses (i) witnesses, (ii) documents, and (iii) his or her own words, to tell a story to strangers so they rule in the client’s favor. Business litigation is dominated by documents, including contracts, emails, text messages, and digital office files. From day one, Mestaz Law front loads the case by mastering the documents as quickly as possible, so that any piece of evidence can be visually displayed at a moment’s notice. In our visual culture dominated by smart phones and short attention spans, using pictures to tell a well-paced story is critical to victory.

Mestaz Law relies on proprietary technology — The Chron — to pinpoint, for immediate visual display, all of the times, dates, emails, conversations, and other needle-in-a-haystack evidence that tells your story with efficiency, clarity, and visual impact. It quickly becomes clear that the firm has mastered the evidence and is ready for trial. That trial readiness is powerful leverage that, ironically, often prevents trial through a favorable pretrial settlement.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”  Sun Tzu

Sometimes a trial or arbitration is unavoidable. But that is where Mestaz Law shines brightest. The Chron has all of the evidence ready for instant visual display, which tells the client’s story in a memorable way. Trials move very fast. Fumbling around for documents, long pauses, and disorganization will annoy the judge and bore the jury. Daniel Mestaz, however, has the facts and evidence at his fingertips to move fast, quickly reveal if a witness has contradicted himself or a document, and tell a well-paced unforgettable story.
