Powerful Reinforcement For Your Case
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Affirmed Legal Media presentations are sometimes called Settlement Documentaries, Day-in-the-Life videos, Life-after-Loss Portraits, or a number of other names. Whatever the term, the purpose is to powerfully show the emotion and strength of your case to opposing counsel – and often, insurance company claims committees.
Affirmed Legal Media has an important advantage in this arena. We are documentary filmmakers. We understand both the emotional human side and the compelling factual side of your case. Our expertise at balancing them is why we have such a high return and referral rate.
This Wrongful Death case was settled in mediation three days after receipt of this video.
settlement documentaries are extremely effective
The heart of Settlement Documentaries are interviews – the authentic, compelling words of plaintiffs, witnesses, family members, experts, doctors, and co-workers are what put a human face on a case. In addition, different aspects of the case can be emphasized. For instance, if liability is not an issue, the Settlement Documentary might focus on damages, or on the extent of the physical or emotional loss. We hone in on the message you want to send.
The reason why these videos are so effective is simple. What we show on screen in minutes could take days to present at trial.

This Med-Mal case was settled in mediation one week after receipt of this Day-in-the-Life video.
Day-in-the-life videos are personal and powerful
In a Day-in-the-Life video we follow the injured party through their day, capturing their challenges, limitations, frustrations and triumphs. And of those who love them. By inter-cutting interviews with family members, doctors and caregivers, we give a powerful, three-dimensional view of what the injured party will have to contend with for the rest of his or her life.
If the video is for trial, we make all adjustments to comply with the rules of Demonstrative Evidence.
Our Fees
Our objective is to create a video that maximizes the return on your investment. Production cost is a function of the number of interviews, the number of shoot days, locations and the complexity of graphics and additional materials. We work with you to map out a presentation that optimizes your resources.
