Why FrameCounsel is the smart first step before (or instead of) hiring an expert.
A single forensic expert engagement can cost more than a year of FrameCounsel licensing. Apply forensic-grade analysis to every case, not just the ones with big enough budgets.
No more waiting weeks for an expert report while your client sits in jail. Get comprehensive analysis the same day you receive discovery. Meet every deadline with time to spare.
Use FrameCounsel for initial analysis on every case. When you find something significant, bring in a human expert armed with FrameCounsel findings to testify. Best of both worlds.
Most defendants cannot afford a $12,000 forensic expert. FrameCounsel makes expert-level analysis accessible to public defenders, legal aid, and solo practitioners serving clients who need it most.
Get forensic-grade video analysis for every case, not just the ones with deep pockets. Your clients deserve thorough analysis regardless of budget.
