Presentation study / 01 · From scene to sequence
First, see the setting.
Then explore the sequence.
Begin with a familiar street setting. Open the 3D model to examine two approaches, change the viewpoint, and isolate a moment.

MODEL / 01
Two approaches.
One shared view.
A sequence you can explore.
This invented example places one vehicle on each of two perpendicular roads. The vehicles approach the intersection and stop just before contact. Perspective and overhead views show the same geometry.
The interactive 3D version requires JavaScript and WebGL.
Ready to explore
At the start: Vehicle A approaches from the left; Vehicle B approaches on the perpendicular road.
Presentation study / 02 · Medical damages
Show the injury.
Explain what it changed.
Follow the connection from treatment to everyday life, then examine what would be needed to explain future care.

Treatment has
a sequence.
Build the chronology
The course of care,
in one connected view.
A treatment chronology makes the course of care easier to follow. In an actual case, each point should identify the record that supports it.
- 01Initial assessment
The reported injury, examination, and treatment plan.
- 02Treatment & rehabilitation
What was done, the restrictions recorded, and the progress documented.
- 03Follow-up
What improved, what persisted, and what needs further evaluation.
Source path: assessment → treatment records → follow-up. This example does not prescribe a course of care.
Connect the record to the person
Show what a restriction
means in daily life.
Connect a question about function to the evidence needed to explain it.
How did stairs, meals, and household tasks change?
Connect documented restrictions with the person’s account and specific observations from those who helped. Establish what assistance was actually provided and for how long.
A diagnosis alone does not tell the whole story of a person’s daily limitations.
Separate known needs from open questions
A future-care story
needs a foundation.
An engaging visual should make the support for each proposed need visible. It should also show where the evidence is incomplete.
Medical basis
Who recommends the care, and what supports that opinion?
Frequency & duration
How often, for how long, and with what stated uncertainty?
Cost & life impact
What supports the expense and the practical consequences?
No prognosis, care plan, cost, or damages amount is assumed in this illustrative study.
Make the relationship visible. Treatment, function, and future needs are connected questions; each requires its own support.

Trial focus.
Purposeful pace.
Respect for the relationship.
Discuss working togetherMove the work forward.
We move fast. At the outset, we discuss the procedural posture, approaching dates, and work that needs attention so the proposed association has a clear purpose.
Protect the relationship.
We respect co-counsel’s connection with the client. Agreeing on responsibilities and communication helps preserve that relationship as the case develops.
For new and existing referring counsel
Send the outline.
Arrange the discussion.
Include your name, firm, contact details, general case type, jurisdiction, procedural stage, and any time-sensitive dates. Tell us the role you have in mind.
Keep the first message general. Arrange conflicts and information-sharing procedures before sending client names, sensitive facts, or files. An inquiry does not transfer responsibility for a matter or deadline.
For an existing matter, use the communication channel already established with the firm.
Before an association
Terms should
be explicit.
Must a matter already be in litigation?
No. An initial inquiry can concern a matter before suit or one already filed. Describe its present stage, the work completed, and any approaching deadlines. Whether an association is appropriate depends on the particular matter.
Can referring counsel remain involved?
Tell us how you would like to remain involved. Protecting co-counsel’s relationship with the client is part of how we approach the association. We discuss the work, client communication, and each firm’s role with you at the outset. The arrangement is agreed for the particular matter.
How are fees divided between firms?
Any division must comply with the applicable professional-conduct rules. In South Carolina, this generally requires proportionate services or joint responsibility, the client’s agreement including each lawyer’s share confirmed in writing, and a reasonable total fee. Any proposed fee division must be addressed in the agreement for the particular matter.
