Photographic images are one of the best forms of demonstrative evidence available, since everyone thinks in mental pictures.  Photographic images serve a multiple of purposes in WINNING or SETTLING legal matters.  Our mission is to provide the legal industry with cost-effective visual tools that:

• Prove existence of fact or issue
• Educate the jury and/or Judge in a Bench Trial
• Create visual image of accident site or incident location
• Convey a clear impression of oral testimony or scale sketches of conditions at the scene
• Provide direct evidence of things which have not been described by a witness
• Help to prove certain material facts in issue
• Demonstrate facts in assisting others to understand case
• Disprove the testimony of a witness
• Clear up contradictions of witnesses
• Assist a witness in illustrating or explaining his/her position
• Refresh memories of officers or witnesses
• Solidify specific points

A large, clear photographic image placed in front of the jury is the best available means of presenting an idea or the appearance of a scene at a given time. The photographic image becomes a valuable tool to create a mental painting, keeping the jury focused on your point.  It is difficult to get photographic images out of jurors' minds, since we all think photographically.  Photographs can be used as relevant evidence* and as a negotiation tool for settlement, also.  A photograph is a witness that never forgets, since it has frozen a moment in time!

*Black's Law Dictionary--Relevant evidence is evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.

We create and capture the images on professional medium format, high-quality, commercial grade, fine-grain film, which is all-important to getting clear, crisp, detailed images.  All print processing of the photographic images are custom-crafted at our in-house color lab. This allows us to maintain control of the film, as a disinteresed third party, which allows us to attest to the authenticity of the image. Not one of our photographic images has ever been disallowed into evidence. By mainting complete control of the images we are also able to control cost, confidentiality, quality, and short turn-around time schedules, usually necessary during court cases.   Images we create for a client, will NOT be released to opposing counsel without written authorization from the client.

With your already busy and hectic law practice and schedule of preparing a court case, we realize deadlines are an issue and time is usually in short supply.  Please call us (at 505-888-0246 to discuss the elements of your case, when you need professional photographic services.  This conversation helps us to isolate and create the best method to create the images you need and the most cost-effective photographic images to prepare for your case. We document people, places, or things that are a fair representation of the subject matter.  See examples on the Aerial Photos page.

Photographic Authenticity Certificates for all vertical, oblique and ground images are available for submitting with the photographic exhibits into evidence, at $45 each.  All enlargements used in a court trial will require an 8.5" X 11" print for the Court Record, at $20 each. 

In the event that we are called in to testify, we come in only as a technician who created the image and can attest to the authenticity of the image only, and that the image is an accurate representation of the area depicted at the moment the image was created. This is the basis of the Authenticity Certificate written in legal terms.  We do not serve as an expert witness to the photographic processes of film or camera operation.  These are givens in the creation of photographic images. 

Our base fee for being called into court is $300 plus $75 per hour for preparation time and time spent in or waiting for court, plus travel costs when necessary.

Curricula Vita available on request.
