California Technical Media is a litigation graphics and visual strategy firm based in Irvine, California, serving trial attorneys nationwide. We create demonstrative evidence — animations, reconstructions, diagrams, timelines, presentations — designed to control how meaning is formed in the minds of jurors, mediators, arbitrators, and judges.
We have completed over 1,600 visual matters across fourteen years, spanning personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, patent litigation, construction disputes, criminal defense, environmental cases, insurance coverage, commercial litigation, and every other practice area where complex facts must be made visible for a non-specialist audience.
Most litigation graphics providers start with the deliverable: what format do you want? We start with the cognitive task: what must the fact-finder understand, remember, and decide? The visual format follows from that analysis, not the other way around.
This approach is grounded in our founder’s legal training. Ari Zahavi holds a J.D. and has spent his career at the intersection of case theory and visual communication. He understands evidentiary foundations, the distinction between demonstrative and substantive evidence, and the procedural reality of getting visuals admitted and used effectively at trial. That legal fluency shapes everything we produce.
If the visual strategy is not clear, the graphics will not help — no matter how polished they look. We invest time at the front end to understand your case theory, identify the cognitive barriers, and design a visual plan before any production begins.
Every visual we create is built from identified, documented sources. When opposing counsel challenges the foundation, there is an answer. We build with Rule 403, 901, and 702 in mind because we know the visual must survive objection to be useful.
Neither do our deadlines. We deliver when promised, in the formats you need, tested on the systems your courtroom uses. Backup formats are included. Rush capability is available and priced transparently.
We do not impose creative direction. We are retained to support your theory of the case with the best visual tools available. We can take a concept and develop it, propose approaches you may not have considered, or execute precisely as directed. The attorney leads. We produce.
