Exhibits
Dynamic and persuasive exhibits for
the courtroom
Nelson Studios specializes in case-specific demonstrative evidence designed to enhance expert testimony. Consultation services include review of all pertinent medical records and a written proposal presenting the critical issues in your case. During the 12 years Diane Nelson headed Biomedia, it created courtroom exhibits such as medical illustrations, animations and models for over a thousand cases.
After a proposal and cost estimate is approved, preliminary sketches are completed for review by medical experts. These sketches are revised as requested and full-color 8 X 10 images are produced for deposition and pre-trial activities. If the case proceeds to trial, the exhibits are enlarged to 30" X 40" and mounted on rigid boards.
