Todd Zerin

Principal - Senior Trial Consultant

Todd is an attorney who was admitted to practice law in Minnesota (1984) and California (1985). He is also admitted to the Eighth Circuit United States Court of Appeals and United States Supreme Court.

In 1995, Todd had the privilege of working in collaboration with now Chief Justice John Roberts on a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. He has further argued before the Minnesota Supreme Court.

In 2000, following 15 years of experience practicing law, Todd transitioned to litigation technology, and in 2008 he formed Courtroom Visual. He had a mission to enable client attorneys to better engage juries when presenting their case. When Todd is in the courtroom, there is more movement and the jury’s focus is maintained. Parties and expert witnesses are made to have a comfort about how the evidence will be presented which in turn enables them to be more effective witnesses.

Todd has made suggestions about closing arguments that have proven effective in securing favorable verdicts. Many thanks have been received from parties and witnesses who did not know Courtroom Visual or what do before coming to trial.
