What our
clients
say
I would trust only two people with this case...one is Steven Spielberg, the other is Mitchell Riggs."
Justin Blitz Blitz Law Group
Recently, we reached a partial settlement in the 7 figures. Here is the big news - we did so without ever taking a deposition. So the first settlement was based on your video alone. The remaining insurers are now reaching out to us to discuss settlement. Thanks for all you do and continue to do for this family."
Scott Chafin, Jr. Attorney, Gregorio Chafin
SO GOOD. I am so excited I’m doing backflips in my seat watching this. Wow. Awesome. Bravo. Huge thank you…"
Tyson E. Logan Partner, Spence Law Firm
Catie and Mitchell, this is brilliant. Such elegant storytelling. You are simply the best at what you do."
Alan Blumenfeld Trial Consultant, Act of Communication
LifeNow® Studios has set a new standard. I would never go to a mediation in any large case without the benefit of a settlement video. Mitchell and Catie Riggs are the best in the business."
Salvatore J. Zambri Senior Partner, Regan Zambri Long
This is an amazing cut. The interviews were remarkably well done, and quality of the film was top notch. This is going to be very powerful in our mediation."
Angelo A. Ziotas Silver Golub & Teitell
The largest medical malpractice settlement in my career. The settlement video was a huge factor in our ability to obtain a very significant settlement in this case and our Mediator was incredibly impressed by the video."
Patrick M. Regan President & Senior Partner, Regan Zambri Long
Thanks again, Mitch and Catie. Excellent work. You always go above and beyond. I only want to work with you."
Beth Baldinger Mazie Slater Katz Freeman
Our mediator, with 30 years of experience, said that this was the best mediation film he had ever seen. This was excellent work, Mitchell. The film provided a whole new level of personalization to this case. Thank you for all of your hard work and collaboration on this case. "
Carol Shepherd Feldman Shepherd
This was a record Settlement in Utah for a medical Malpractice case. Thanks again for your work and caring for these people. "
Charles Thronson Parsons Behle & Latimer
I am seriously blown away. This was amazing! I don’t want to change anything at all."
Edward Ciarimboli Fellerman & Ciarimboli
Thank you again. The feedback from the mediator who has mediated thousands of cases was that the video was the best he had ever seen. So that is a nice start."
Christopher Maley Maley & Maley
For a case like this I would always call you first. Thanks again for your work. The film is truly outstanding."
Christopher T. Nace Paulson & Nace
Catie, this is amazing. You all hit it out of the park as always, but the fact you did it remotely is amazing. The video interviews and cell phone footage has a very real, raw quality to it."
Darl Champion The Champion Firm
$166 million verdict. This is the largest personal injury verdict in New Jersey history. Thanks for your work on this case. The video was very powerful."
David Mazie Mazie Slater Katz Freeman
Powerful. Just powerful. You two are really special at what you do."
Timothy Gardner Gardner Trial Attorneys
The case settled at an outstanding number. You guys gave them (and their family, friends, and doctors) the voice they deserved at mediation. Thank you again for all your hard work."
Christopher J. Regan Partner, Regan Zambri Long
You all do wonderful, and I do mean wonderful work. This so well conveys the situation—better than I thought possible. You, Mitchell and your team do GREAT work."
Jerome O’Neil Gravel & Shea
There are not enough words to explain how important this video is. A lot of cases become a formality to lawyers in terms of paperwork and they forget about the real-life struggles the client faces because they don’t see it or live it. This is such an important video as it tells a story that no paper can."
Dylan T MacGregor McDonald & MacGregor
Mitchell and Catie are incredibly talented. Instead of doing our opening schpiel at the mediation, we played the video. We are happy to report that the case settled and our client is thrilled. If you are thinking about doing a mediation/settlement video in one of your cases, we highly recommend LifeNow®."
Fred Schulman Blitz Law Group
Mitchell and Catie --- that is so so so amazing. You really captured it all! I cannot thank you enough on behalf of this client. WOW. I am honored to know you."
Catherine D. Bertram Bertram Law Group
Always a win with you and Catie. We’ve hit eight figures, & counting. Get ready for the next case."
Gus McDonald McDonald and Cody
I just rewatched the video. So so good. I don’t have any suggestions. I think it’s amazing work. Thank you."
James Biggart Morgan & Morgan
We settled this one too. The family was very happy and will be comfortable for the rest of their lives. Thank you for all of your hard work on this."
David Freeman Mazie Slater Katz and Freeman
Catie, we settled for $5.75 mil. I can't thank you & Mitchell enough. Even the mediator said the video was very powerful."
Jessie C Klaproth Klaproth Law
I really like the way that it gives one insight into who she is as a person! You are a video whisperer."
Karen E Evans The Cochran Firm
Mitchell and Catie: You must understand that we tell EVERYONE THAT THEY SHOULD BE USING YOU. I get thrilled every time I see one of your amazing pieces that you do."
Katherine James Trial Consultant and Author of Harvesting Witnesses Stories
People often say, “A picture is worth a thousand words”. LifeNow® takes this time-old quote to the highest level possible. They captured the essence of my client's loss and what the client and her family had been left with after devastating injuries."

Very Powerful. You successfully navigated through all the sand traps we were worried about in this case. Many thanks to you and Catie. We are very pleased with this product as well the time and care you took with our family."

I'm crying right now. I know that James will appreciate what you have done as much as I do. I don't know how to thank you."

Catie & Mitch, This film is just beautiful, as expected. You captured this case perfectly. Thanks so much, Sandra."
Sandra H Robinson The Cochran Firm
LifeNow® is in a different league. I’ve learned so much about what to expect from video from Mitch & Catie. They are filmmakers so they just deliver a far superior product. If you need video, this is your company."
Tom Vesper Westmoreland Vesper Schwartz & Quattrone
As a result of the video, the insurance adjuster was already crying when she met our client at the outset of the mediation. The defense attorney told us the video was responsible for well over half a million dollars in additional compensation to the family beyond where he originally valued the case."
Robert C.T. Reed Allen & Allen
I'm sitting here in the cafe of a generic office building waiting to walk in to the mediation for (my client's) death. I just watched the video again. My heart hurts and I am speechless. But you have spoken for us. There is very little left to say today. Thank you. You did good."
Nelson Tyrone Tyrone Law
Mitchell and Catie, the film is just fantastic. This clarifies so much in this case. Thank you for all your hard work for us and for this wonderful family."

This video is very professionally done and effective. Excellent."
