Professional Philosophy

We support our clients' case narratives and create correct understanding from the given fact pattern in jurors' and judges' minds. How information is presented matters—the same facts can tell different stories depending on visual presentation and context.

Commitment to Excellence: If a case is worth working on, it's worth working on well. Ari brings pedantic attention to detail to all case materials. The devil is in the details, and small oversights can undermine strong legal arguments.

Relationship-Focused Practice: Ari and California Technical Media build long-term, professional, respectful working relationships with exceptional people in the legal community. We don't work with everyone, but we do our best for the clients and partners we do work with.
