Testimonials

“Sherry Salmons and her team are indispensable partners who seamlessly collaborate with Microsoft lawyers from the beginning of a case through trial. We rely on their expertise and insights to craft key themes and distill complex issues into a compelling narrative, which not only supports our preparation for jury trials but also informs our written advocacy, oral arguments, witness preparation, mediations, and public commentary.  Consulting with the Salmons team adds significant value at every stage of litigation.  Along with Sherry, Martha Luring has provided great insight and advice over the last 20 years and in our many matters together.  When we do proceed to trial, the Salmons team's work on mock trials, jury research, juror selection, witness preparation, and trial support is incredibly effective and impactful.”

Cynthia Randall, Esq

“In trying cases all over the country for almost 40 years, I have used many different jury consultants to assist with pre-trial research, witness preparation, and jury selection.  There is no one more skilled at all these things than Sherry and her excellent team.   They dig into the cases. They invest their time and creativity in an unrelenting way and become valued trial team members.  There is a deep bench at Salmons Consulting and Allison Wong and Jocelyn Cinquino, for example, bring the same level of creativity, dedication, and insight that Sherry herself brings. 

To me, one of the most important skills of a trial consultant is the ability to calibrate advice in a way that is consistent with the trial lawyer’s general intuition, but also independent and data driven. That’s sometimes a hard balance. Sherry has the confidence to offer advice and the "EQ" to do so without the arrogance of being closed off to other ideas. That’s why she is such a valued partner in trial.  The old commercial used to say "don't leave home" without a particular credit card.  I don't go to trial without Sherry Salmons and the team at Salmons Consulting. In a world of trial consultants of varying degrees of skill and experience, Sherry is simply the best.”

Dan Webb, Esq.

“I regularly turn to the team at Salmons Consulting for their collaboration and support on single plaintiff and class action cases.   They are uniquely able to assess the dynamics of a case in a way that allows them to effectively partner in all phases of trial preparation.  Their experience and insights invaluably contribute to the development of simple impactful trial themes.  Their well-designed and flexible mock jury process allows trial themes to be thoroughly tested and modified during the mock as necessary.  For cases that proceed to trial, their team is indispensable in providing support for voir dire, witness preparation, and argument.  In addition to Sherry, I have worked directly with Alison Wong for many years and always find her to be insightful, incredibly responsive, and a pleasure to work with no matter how tense the circumstances.  I simply wouldn’t want to try a case without them.”

“Sherry and her team have helped us prepare for patent-infringement-defense trials for a number of clients. They have a great combination of broad experience of working on many large and medium sized patent suits, coupled with small-firm responsiveness.  Her team brings value throughout the litigation process, from working with key witnesses in deposition preparation and providing valuable feedback on trial themes, to mock trials and juror selection.”

John Vandenberg, Esq.

“The team at Salmons Consulting is excellent. I have worked for many years with Jocelyn Cinquino and find her to be a talented and skilled consultant who understands how jurors think and feel about key case issues.  What makes her, and the whole team, exceptional is an ability to understand your matter and the experience to craft a compelling trial narrative. They bring valuable legal, psychological, and research experience to our matters.  The team includes psychologists, communication experts, and lawyers and that is another unique feature that gives them an edge in this environment. They have successfully consulted on cases for us, and I would not hesitate to rely upon them for pre-trial research, witness preparation, mock jury evaluations, and jury selection.”

Louis Caraballo, Esq

“As a client, I look forward to jury exercises run by the Salmons team because I know that afterwards I will get a clear, well-thought-out report I can use with my internal stakeholders to help explain the case.  Their insights and analysis are useful not just to the trial team, but to the in-house team that needs tools to explain the risks and opportunities of a trial beyond the legal strategy.”
