Video Depositions
In addition to the written record, a video deposition is an important part of the litigation process. Video can bring the jury right into the scene of an accident or explain a complex process in minutes. Through the use of video, a jury can be swayed by the tone, reactions and emotions of a deponent, sometimes more effectively than a persuasive argument.
We understand the importance of the visual record and use professional grade equipment and tape stock in every deposition. We individually microphone and monitor the deponent, examining attorney and opposing counsel to ensure a clean audio record. CLVS offers all video formats including VHS, SVHS, VCD, DVD, DVCAM to meet your playback needs.

Media Conversions & Duplications
Streamlining media into a standardized format is an efficient way to duplicate and disseminate pre-trial information. We can transfer camcorder tapes to DVD and micro cassettes to CD so you can view client tapes without limits on in-house playback capabilities.

Day In The Life Videos
A powerful tool in accident-malpractice suits is the Day In The Life Video. Combined with interviews, hospital care, and before and after footage, a Day In The Life Video can express the pain, desperation and tremendous loss of a life ruined by an unfortunate accident. No matter how artfully expressed, no argument can impact a jury more than seeing the day-to-day reality of life in a disabled condition.

Site Surveys Site surveys are an important tool for documenting damages to an individual, vehicle or building. It can bring the jury to the scene of an accident, which would be impossible to visit under normal circumstances. A site survey can capture structural damage within a home, an injury on the factory floor, or an accident on a highway. A site survey is a permanent video record used in:
Property Damage Claims
- Personal Injury Suits
- Workers Comp
- Settlement Brochures
- Contract Compliance
In combination with Expert Testimony, the site video can often lay the foundation of a case. In addition, Pre- and Post-Construction Video Surveys offer contractors a visual record that can be maintained in case of future litigation and to meet government contract requirements.
