Construction disputes typically contain complex facts that are difficult to clearly communicate or understand through documentary evidence and live testimony alone. C.A.S.E. uses visual presentation tools to help our clients make the best presentations of their cases.

These presentation elements may include timeline charts, cut-away perspectives, 2D drawings, 3D models, photography, sketches and other media. They provide a means to simplify and illustrate abstract, complex and extensive facts and opinions in a concise and comprehensible way that can be understood by the intended audience.
