About Bowman and Brooke
Bowman and Brooke LLP is a nationally recognized trial defense firm with one of the largest product liability practices in the country. Since 1985, the firm has defended corporate clients in high-exposure and technically intricate lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions.
The firm’s attorneys focus on defending high exposure and pattern litigation nationally for household name manufacturers of automotive, life sciences, consumer products and industrial products.
The Challenge
One of the fastest growing state dockets involves California consumer warranty and lemon law claims for the firm’s core automotive clients. Yet more often than not the firm found itself unable to access and analyze critical state court data, let alone in a unified fashion. A search for a credible, comprehensive option with broad and deep access to state court data took shape.
The Solution
The firm subsequently found Trellis, engaged in a successful pilot and became a customer in 2021. Since then the firm regularly searches and interrogates state court data on Trellis across the nation with ease from a single interface. Trellis data provides the firm with analytical insights on judges, cases, and opposing counsel to make actionable decisions in court.
Bowman and Brooke decided to bring in Trellis firm-wide citing reasons, including:
- Single Point of Access to State Court Data: The firm was impressed with Trellis’ ability to make state trial court data across the country – judges, parties, counsel, legal issues, experts, filed documents, class actions, jury instructions, motions to disqualify, good faith settlements – searchable in a single database.
- Important Cost and Time Savings: With Trellis, the firm realized a savings for the unbillable admin time previously spent logging into county court websites. In addition, access to the Trellis team provides the firm faster answers to complex state trial court research and analytics questions.
- Cross Functional Benefits: Firm attorneys, paralegals and case assistants are all trained on Trellis. The firm believes that each benefits from the platform – from strategy to pulling fillings – in different ways.
- Fantastic Service; Transparent Pricing: The firm is grateful for the responsive and helpful support it receives when reaching out to find, structure or optimize a particular search on the platform. The firm also pointed to Trellis’ honest, up-front pricing with no hidden costs charged in the background as a key factor for its partnership.
