Lois Heaney of National Jury
Project West is the finest jury consultant with whom I have ever worked.
She combines extraordinary professional and personal skills that make
her both effective and easy to work with. I have retained Lois in a number
of cases, including the defenses of Stephen Bingham and Robert Blake.
We achieved a successful result in all of those cases. I give Lois my
unqualified recommendation. —M. Gerald Schwartzbach, Mill Valley,
