While some litigation receives little to no attention, allowing the proceedings to play out quietly, other cases catch the eye of the news or the public. When this happens, it is up to the defense lawyer to ensure a fair trial. Because of this, lawyers need the right toolbox to address pretrial publicity before it gets out of hand. 

John Trimble has more than 30 years of experience handling complex and catastrophic cases. As he says, some of the best tools for navigating pretrial publicity are PR consultants and jury consultants. With the help of these experts, defense lawyers can effectively manage how a case is being perceived by the public and strategize the best ways to take it to trial.
