Trial Science

What Trial Science does

Trial Science Inc. is a privately-held trial preparation and trial consulting firm headquartered in Reno, Nevada, founded in 1995. The firm develops and maintains what it describes as a "sophisticated trial preparation tool," and provides trial consulting services to legal professionals involved in litigation. The company operates with 1-10 employees under the leadership of Daniel Dugan, who serves as President.

The firm's business model centers on specialized litigation consulting supported by a proprietary software tool, though no pricing details, customer segments, contract structures, or technology stack information are available in the source material. The company's website (trialscienceinc.com) currently displays only a verification/loading placeholder page ("One moment, please..."), preventing any extraction of product features, customer logos, or commercial terms. No funding rounds, partnerships, awards, patents, regulatory actions, product launches, or M&A activity are documented.

The evidence base is thin: with 30 years of operating history but a micro headcount and no visible digital footprint beyond the inaccessible website, the firm appears to be a small, specialized legal services consultancy that has historically operated without external capital or public market visibility. The absence of any disclosed revenue, customer references, or technology architecture details limits confidence in any forward-looking assessment.

Broad incumbents

• Consilio: End-to-end legal and litigation-support consultancy providing trial preparation, expert services, and eDiscovery to law firms and corporate legal departments — a direct competitor for trial-prep engagements at a national scale.
• Huron Consulting Group: Professional services firm whose Legal practice includes litigation and trial support services; comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping trial-preparation capabilities within a multi-practice portfolio.
• Epiq Systems: Large legal-services and litigation-support provider offering trial consulting, eDiscovery, and document review; comparable because it sells adjacent trial-preparation services alongside a broader legal-services portfolio to corporate counsel and law firms.

Direct peers

• FTI Consulting: Global advisory firm with a dedicated Trial & Litigation Consulting practice offering trial preparation, jury research, and litigation graphics — the closest large-scale analog to Trial Science's offering and a benchmark for what scaling the model looks like.
• A2L Consulting: Litigation visuals and trial-preparation consultancy combining trial graphics, jury research, and trial-tech services for high-stakes cases; directly comparable in offering mix and boutique scale to Trial Science.
• Persuasion Strategies: Boutique trial consulting firm specialising in jury research, witness preparation, and trial strategy for plaintiff and defence counsel — directly comparable in scope, customer type, and delivery model to Trial Science.
• Decision Strategies International: Trial consulting firm providing jury research, mock trials, and trial strategy services to trial attorneys; comparable as a similar-sized specialist competing in the same niche customer segment as Trial Science.
• TrialGraphix (previously part of Epiq): Litigation graphics and trial-presentation technology provider serving law firms and corporate counsel; comparable because it sells the technology-enabled trial-preparation layer that Trial Science's tool targets.
