"Trellis is an extremely useful state trial court tool for law students, faculty, and practicing attorneys."

"I believe that your product is extremely useful and beneficial to solos like myself who have just 1-2 staff members. Thank you for creating this platform and I look forward to continuing doing business with you in the future."

"In my opinion, Trellis is the only system I've used that actually works the way a system should for state cases."
Jack M. Rubin
"I have a moment with Trellis almost every day finding results I wouldn't have been able to find anywhere else," says Rubin. "The information in Trellis changed my cases from being on defense to offense. Trellis is an essential tool for litigators."
Christy Smith
"Our library started a trial of Trellis. Because of the content, we thought our clinic professors might be interested. In addition to state trial court data and records, Trellis offers search features such as Judge Analytics, Verdicts, and Motions & Issues. Trellis is also adding state statutes, administrative codes, constitutions, and court rules. If a student in a legal clinic needed to look up a sample complaint or motion, a Trellis search can locate a similar case with a searchable docket containing pleadings that have been filed. Similarly, the same student looking to apply for a clerkship with a specific judge can utilize Judge Analytics to see what types of cases the judge typically has on their dockets, how often a case goes to trial, and what kinds of motions the judge's ruling on."
Landon Stinson, Esq.
"Trellis has been a game-changer for our civil trial practice. Before Trellis, searching trial dockets was difficult and cumbersome. With Trellis, however, we can instantly search every filing, in every Florida trial docket, to find exactly what we need all in one place."
Miguel Aristizabal
"We bid farewell to Big Law in 2020 and started our own law firm. One thing we strongly missed was the convenience of quickly accessing a template from the firm's extensive database of previously drafted documents. Trellis Law has revolutionized this process for us. Their platform enables us to search every state court filing in Florida and even refine our search by law firm or attorney, ensuring that we find prior filings pertinent to the issue at hand. Additionally, it offers a seamless way to view how the Court ruled by easily allowing you to pull up the Order on the Motion under review. This remarkable platform has truly been a game changer for us, saving countless hours and streamlining our work. We cannot praise the Trellis platform enough for its exceptional capabilities!"
Jason E. Guerra
"The Judge Analytics function has been very useful in connection with bringing critical motions and conducting trials in getting a feel for the Court's inclinations with respect to specialized issues. As a California based attorney, I've also found the research tools, including Document Search, helpful for matters I am handling in other jurisdictions pro hac vice."
Jackie Gardina
"Here's my prediction: Trellis Law is going to transform the way lawyers practice in the state courts. Imagine having a searchable database of every state court document. Imagine having access to a judicial dashboard that helps you understand how a judge has ruled on particular motions. Imagine being able to search every motion before a judge and learn the arguments that influenced the judge's decision. You don't have to imagine. It exists. (Nicole Clark) has created it in Trellis Law."
Kristopher Nelson
"I do think the access to state filings to use as samples on Trellis is really useful for small firms, like ours, who often lack the depth of “brief banks” and similar that larger firms accumulate over the years. At the federal level, there’s PACER (or RECAP, etc.) which is brilliant for this, but at the California state level, such access is extremely challenging due to lack of search, pay-to-access docs in many state courts. Trellis helps make up for this and is highly useful."
Trellis User
"The Trellis state court judicial bios are fabulous. Depending on the state, bios for such folks can be hard to find, so I’m very grateful for what Trellis produces."
Julie Cantor
“I recently argued a significant discovery matter in front of a California court. Using Trellis, I researched other California trial courts’ orders and tentative orders on a critically important issue. Though those orders were not binding as precedent, they were nonetheless very helpful to my thinking. Ultimately, the court ruled in my clients’ favor, and I believe that the material I found through Trellis greatly contributed to that success.”
Brian Cassidy
"Whether we want to contrast different courts to view how judges have ruled on similar motions, see how specific legal issues are decided, or gain competitive insights on opposing counsel, Trellis assists our Library with strategic state trial court comparison analytics."
Megan B.
"If you’d like to look at examples of responses or motions that other people have filed, Trellis is a great place to do that. Click on the 'Motions & Issues' menu item in Trellis for a list of different types of motions with descriptions of what the motions are used for and legal standards and examples of that type of motion that people have submitted to the court. Another way is to start by typing your search terms into the Trellis search bar. You can filter by Practice Area, Motion Type, County, Judge, and more!"
Stephen Embry
"But after talking with Nicole Clark, I believe the highest value (of Trellis' Law Firm Intelligence solution) will come from the insights the data tells a firm about itself and its place in the market. It will allow a law firm, particularly a large one with offices in multiple states, to gain insights into its internal litigation practice."
Greg Lambert
"The Trellis Law Firm Intelligence tool enables firms to identify growth opportunities, benchmark themselves, and drill down into the data to find strategic insights. Firms can slice and dice the data by region, practice area, time period, and other parameters to get to the most relevant information. LFI also gives litigators specific insights into judges, opposing counsel tactics, and case outcomes."
Megan B.
"We recommend Trellis Verdict Searches to Alameda County Law Library patrons all the time!"
Marlene Gebauer
"Clearly there's a use case for using Trellis and the Law Firm Intelligence (LFI) tool for business development. What's more, LFI is almost like a wellness check for firms in terms of their overall litigation health. Where are we good, and where do we need some help?"
Caroline Hill
"With Trellis Law's new LFI feature firms can assess themselves internally, their business and new case growth over time, their experience and market growth in particular practice areas or regions, and their motion practice performance before certain judges, based on the state trial court numbers."
