Our team includes litigation visual strategists with legal training, 3D animators, medical illustrators, and presentation designers. We specialize in cases where something complex happened and needs to be understood clearly: catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice, product defects, vehicle accidents, premises liability, construction defects.
Over 1,600 visual matters. Our founder, Ari Zahavi, J.D., has been creating litigation visuals for twenty years. His legal training means he understands case strategy from the attorney's perspective and can anticipate what jurors will find confusing or compelling.
Working with California Technical Media means:
Evidentiary Foundation. We understand the critical distinction between demonstrative and substantive evidence and build every visual with Rule 403, 901, and 702 in mind. Our team knows how to support expert testimony under Daubert and Frye standards, documenting reconstruction methodologies. Where requested, every animation and graphic can come with the evidentiary foundation needed to fight objections and pre-trial motions.
Predictable timing and quality. Accurate, reliable, timely. Clear phases, ability to rush projects, flexible revisions, easy pivots. Weekends and even nights are available. We deliver when promised because we know your trial date doesn't move, and neither should your graphics deadline.
Turnkey Trial-Ready. Everything we create works seamlessly with OnCue, Trial Director, and other courtroom presentation systems. Files are pre-tested on actual courtroom equipment configurations, and we provide fallback versions in multiple file formats, sizes and visual styles for different scenarios. When opposing counsel objects or if technology fails, you have alternative formats ready to go without missing a beat.
Team Integration You Control. One dedicated producer owns your project from intake to verdict, providing status updates on completed tasks, work in progress, and any blockers. Where authorized, we can communicate directly with your experts, paralegals, and trial team in the language of litigation, not design. Our team becomes an extension of yours, available on your preferred channels and schedule.
Transparent financials. Clear rate cards and fixed-fee packages eliminate invoice surprises. Rush multipliers are defined upfront, and we work within agreed budget ceilings. You know exactly what each deliverable costs before we start, whether it's a simple timeline or a complex accident reconstruction, allowing you to make informed decisions for your client.
Scalability. Our bench strength and documented processes mean we can handle sudden surges without quality drops. Version control systems track every iteration, and backup teams ensure continuity even when cases explode in scope. Whether you need one board or twenty animations, our infrastructure scales to match your trial's demands.
Strategic Visual Argumentation. We build from your theory of the case outward, not from aesthetics inward. Every visual element serves your legal argument, whether it's a technical diagram for expert testimony or a compelling narrative board for closing. We know when to be clinically precise for bench trials and when to craft emotional resonance for juries, always grounding visuals in documented facts.
Competent, professional producers. We are skilled professional producers of visuals designed to help litigation. We can take an idea and run with it and design multiple approaches, or produce as directed. We are retained to help our clients win. No one pushes artistic or strategy decisions on our clients. Our clients know what they are doing. We are here to help with visual case support.
"Art for winning, not for art."
