Testimonials

Working with Rick is like having a strategic partner embedded in the case. He is available, responsive, and fully immersed in the details. Using PREVAiL with Rick allows us to pressure test themes, causation, and damages early, while constantly refining strategy in real time. That level of engagement eliminates blind spots and makes our mock trials far more efficient, because we are sharpening what works rather than discovering what does not.

Rick works as an extension of the trial team. He is accessible, practical, and focused on decision making, not theory. Using PREVAiL with Rick helps us answer the hard questions early, where the real exposure is, which themes travel, and where jurors become skeptical. That constant back-and-forth keeps strategy honest and aligned with how jurors actually think.

Rick is fully embedded in the work and available whenever strategic decisions need to be made. In complex family law cases involving significant property and valuation disputes, PREVAiL helps us understand how decision-makers process financial complexity and fairness. Rick’s constant involvement allows us to adjust strategy in real time, whether we are moving toward settlement or preparing for trial.

Every now and then, you meet someone whose mentorship and strategic insight fundamentally change a case. For us, that was trial consultant Rick Goldberg. We brought him in on a lean-budget trial handled by two young lawyers. Rick didn’t hesitate. Within 24 hours, he reshaped our voir dire, themes, trial strategy and used Ai-based analytics. But the real difference was how he treated my team — coaching them like partners, sharpening their opening, and giving them the kind of guidance most firms can’t buy anymore.  The result? A jury that awarded 100% of our damages plus a 2x punitive multiplier.  Rick didn’t just support our case — he elevated our entire trial team. I’m deeply grateful.

 

Rick is deeply involved from the outset and stays engaged throughout. I have used PREVAiL with Rick to better understand settlement value early in a case, and it was spot on. At the same time, he helped us sharpen trial strategy by identifying which arguments built juror confidence and which created doubt. Having Rick available around the clock as the case evolves makes a meaningful difference in both negotiation and trial readiness.

Rick is hands-on and present throughout the life of the case. He is thinking about juror reaction, language, and tone at every stage, not just at the mock trial. PREVAiL, used in collaboration with Rick, is especially valuable in complex cases because it shows where jurors lean in, where they lose trust, and how to simplify the story long before trial. That level of engagement materially improves courtroom presentation.

In highly contentious custody cases, Rick’s availability and judgment are invaluable. He is engaged day to day, helping think through tone, framing, and credibility risks as the case develops. Using PREVAiL with Rick allows us to test how parenting narratives and allegations land before walking into court, so we are advocating in a way that protects the child and strengthens our position rather than escalating conflict.
