Even the best case can falter in front of the wrong jury. That’s why jury selection isn’t just the first step of trial, but also the most important.

Jury Selections
Jury selection isn’t about finding the “perfect” juror—it’s about spotting the wrong ones.
If jurors come into the courtroom with values or beliefs fundamentally at odds with your case, no amount of strategy or evidence will overcome that.
We help you identify the jurors who simply can’t get on board with your theory of the case, even if they don’t say it outright. With a trained eye for language, tone, and nonverbal cues, we assist in reading the room and keeping your finger on the pulse of who’s in the box—and what they’re bringing with them.
Our jury selection consulting services include:
From developing strategic voir dire questions to evaluating jurors in real time, we partner with your team to identify hidden bias, uncover red flags, and make informed decisions that protect your case from the outset.
“Kellye has great people skills and an exceptional intuition for jury dynamics. She has a sharp eye for identifying problematic jurors during voir dire and brings a calm, confident presence to the courtroom. Her ability to craft the right questions—and follow up in real time—makes a real difference. I trust her judgment completely when it comes to jury selection. When you work with Kellye, know that you can count on sound, practical advice that will help you make the right calls in the moment.”
Lisa Blue Baron, Trial Lawyer
“I’ve worked with Kellye for years on a number of trials. Her insights are always invaluable. As a trial lawyer, it’s easy to think that you know your case facts and therefore know how those facts will land with a jury. The first time I ran a focus group with Kellye, however, I had my eyes opened. Under Kellye’s guidance, the focus group taught me that the fact I feared would sink my case was actually one of my strongest facts. The other side was bewildered when I leaned into that fact in trial. The jury found for my client and to a person cited that fact as a major decision point in my favor. That’s just one example of Kellye’s outsized impact in my cases. Whether it’s theme selection, case framing, jury questionnaire development, witness preparation, or assistance during voir dire, she’s a major asset.”
Mike Howard, Trial Lawyer
“We hire Kellye on every case. You should too.”
Chris Hamilton, Trial Lawyer
“I met Kellye while she was working with another firm. I quickly understood how deeply she understands juries and trial dynamics. Her easy-going, upbeat and positive personality make her easy to connect and to work with. Not only does Kellye understand juries at a very high level, she understands trial lawyers and knows how to effectively support, educate and communicate with us. A rare combination of talents.”
