Morgan Smith thrives at the juncture of law and art. A successful litigator for nearly two decades, he combined his love of the law with his passion for visual and digital arts, founding Cogent Legal in 2011. Now he helps other attorneys hone their strategies and translate their stories into compelling, creative, and cogent visuals for trial.
Morgan has a real advantage over others in this field because he actually tried cases. He can make graphics not only effective with the audience, but also able to withstand objections and get admitted into evidence. Moreover, he can think tactically, and that is how he distinguishes himself. You cannot choose your own facts.

It has been said that a good visual image can be a tripwire for the emotions. A wise attorney wields that emotion as a tool to sway the jury and compel them to see the problem from a different perspective. Graphics by Cogent Legal help set you apart from the crowd and separate the signal from the noise.
Cogent Legal sets the standard for the modern mock trial. Our mock trial team is led by experienced attorneys who travel nationwide and pride themselves on their ability to compose mock juries that truly represent local demographics. It's time to take your trial prep to the next level. As former trial lawyers ourselves, we well know that jurors don't always act as expected.
At Cogent Legal, we understand that law school teaches you how to be a great lawyer-not a computer technician. We provide some of the best trial techs out there to handle all of the technical aspects of obtaining, setting up, and using all of the most modern technology available for courtroom presentation, so you can focus on being the lawyer you were trained to be.
Modern litigation makes use of a vast array of tools that simply did not exist a few years ago. Laser scans and drones have replaced the measuring tape of yesterday. Understanding the power and limitations of this changing technology is a key aspect of modern litigation. We are experts on the best equipment and software to capture any type of data for any type of case.

Report
Morgan at Cogent Legal did fantastic work even though our firm reached out to him with a very short schedule. His graphics were very helpful to make things clear to the jury. He kept in contact with me throughout the process, and he was very easy to work with. The graphics were instrumental in getting a great verdict for our client. I will definitely do business with Cogent Legal again.
