Persuasion happens on the screen, not just in the transcript. Jurors remember a fraction of what they hear and the vast majority of what they see — and trial presentation is the difference between evidence that is merely admitted and evidence that actually lands. Trials & Tech runs courtroom presentation — with a dedicated hot seat operator at the keyboard — for attorneys in Orange County and throughout Southern California, plaintiff or defense, in state and federal court.
Fumbling with the technology in front of a jury costs you credibility and momentum. A dedicated trial technician removes that risk entirely. Trials & Tech runs the “hot seat” — managing your evidence display in real time so your trial team can focus on the case.
Because the work is led by people who understand trial from the inside, we anticipate what you'll need before you ask for it. Plaintiff or defense, state or federal court, anywhere in Southern California.
“Hot seat” is trial shorthand for the chair beside counsel table where the evidence display is actually run. The hot seat operator sits there for the whole trial with your exhibit database open, and pulls whatever you call for the moment you call for it.
Some firms call it the hot seat, some the trial technician, some the trial tech. It is the same role, and it is what we do every day — in Orange County and throughout Southern California, plaintiff or defense.
We are based in Irvine and on site anywhere in Orange County — the Central Justice Center and Civil Complex Center in Santa Ana, the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach, the North and West Justice Centers, and the federal courthouse in Santa Ana.

The hot seat operator is the person running the evidence display at counsel table during trial — pulling up any exhibit, page, callout, or deposition clip the instant it is called for, without breaking the examining attorney's rhythm. The name comes from the seat itself: it is the one chair in the courtroom where a two-second fumble is visible to the entire jury. On our engagements the hot seat operator is the same person who built your exhibit database, so nothing has to be explained twice.
Yes. We deliver and operate courtroom equipment — high-definition monitors, displays, media players, and cabling — and a technician sets it up and runs it on site. Where the courtroom already has evidence presentation equipment installed, we work with what is there.
