DETAILS
Ted’s early career moved him from engineering to computers,
then on to graphics, web design/development and marketing. Choosing
to abandon the structured life of gainful employment, he then jumped
on board with an Internet-based startup company. Here, Ted held
the positions of CIO and Marketing Director, developed a successful
print and web marketing campaign, and set up and maintained the
network hardware and software infrastructure for the company. He
also wrote client business plans and programmed an automated loan
processing software application. Without going into all of the boring
details, let's just say we all know what eventually happened to
most "dot-com" startups.
A short time after that, Ted joined Brobeck, Phleger and Harrison
in the Litigation Support department, later to move to the Complex
Litigation Group as a Techno-Paralegal, and then becoming the Firmwide
Litigation Consultant. He designed an in-house litigation support
software solution (SuperDox), developed and taught several MCLE
courses, has written several articles, researched, tested and recommended
numerous litigation support solutions, developed client-winning
PowerPoint presentations and has been part of the trial teams in
some extremely high-profile cases.
With Brobeck experiencing difficulties, Ted left the firm and began
consulting to the firm on a very complex litigation matter. He then
started Litigation-Tech LLC, with a primary focus on Trial Presentation
and Litigation Support. Ted's in-house experience in a large law
firm affords him a perspective that is very rare in this profession.
This first-hand knowledge has proven very valuable to his clients
time and again.
He knows how to handle the stress and pressures of bet-the-company
cases, and has served on both plaintiff and defense teams with multiple
co-counsel and in-house counsel. He has extensive experience in
many types of litigation, including IP, Securities, Insurance, Products,
Injury, Asbestos, Tobacco, Breast Implant, Contracts, Real Estate,
Complex Litigation and High-Profile Criminal matters, including
the Robert Blake defense team and Dr. Hootan Roozrokh defense team
of M. Gerald Schwartzbach.
