| I have been a trial attorney for more than 33 years. In that time, I have worked with scores of forensic photographers and videographers. I am writing to commend Mr. Ricky Lesser and his Verite team as the best I have ever worked with. Although I have used Mr. Lesser and his team to videotape depositions for use in both State and Federal Court, and can recommend them wholeheartedly for that ministerial task. However, I did not appreciate their real value until I retained them to produce mediation and "Day in the Life" videos for catastrophic injury cases. It does not overstate matters in any way to suggest that Mr. Lesser and his associate, Mr. Gemmell are artists. They are graduates of the renowned Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara and bring a degree of sensitivity, insight, and intelligence to their forensic assignment that adds value to any case they help document. It has been my pleasure and privilege to work with them and I recommend them without reservation. |

Through the use of Verite we have been able to more thoroughly, dramatically and effectively communicate to the opposition the severe impact the loss of a family member or devastating injury can have on individuals and families. These are not your typical settlement videos. The videos produced by Verite Video are professional productions which have greatly enhanced the value of my clients cases. |

Over the past few years, I have become acquainted with Richard J. Lesser in connection with my litigation practice. Mr. Lesser provides videography services to our firm. In cases involving personal injuries, particularly those concerning catastrophic injuries, I have retained Mr. Lesser to create litigation videos that demonstrate to opposing counsel the magnitude of the injuries as well as the impact of those injuries on my clients' lives. With minimal direction and supervision, Mr. lesser has been able to convincingly capture the suffering of my clients by familiarizing himself with the facts of the case, conducting personal interviews, and then creating a demonstrative video that serves as a critical tool in reaching settlements at their full value. I highly recommend Richard J. Lesser for any video project. |

| I am writing to highly recommend the team at Verite for their thoughtful, artistic, and very effective mediation videos. Verite Video's creative ability has resulted in several mediation settlements for numbers that would not have been on the table but for the videos used during mediation. Their story telling and ability to convey empathy through this modern medium is invaluable to me as a trial lawyer. Verite has the technical and artistic skills needed to create compelling presentations for you and your clients that I have not seen in twenty-two years of practicing law. |
