Surveys can be critical pieces of evidence in high-stakes litigation—but only when conducted with scientific rigor, carefully analyzed, and supported by clear, authoritative expert testimony. Our decades of experience, methodical approach, and expert understanding of the litigation process have helped us consistently deliver outstanding results for our clients. AMS retains a network of talented litigation survey experts who possess extensive experience in testifying in deposition and at trial and understand the challenges that surveys for legal matters can face when presented as evidence. Our surveys assess consumer perceptions, behaviors and experiences for litigation matters related to trademark and trade dress infringement, false and deceptive advertising, class actions, claim substantiation, among others.
