Welcome to Our Haus

We’re Steve & Olivia

We are not lawyers. We’re career actors, directors and playwrights— storytelling is our thing. We know how to build your credibility with your audience while keeping your presentation engaging and making your narrative something they’re willing to fight for.

We’ve been cross-examined over 1,500 times by attorneys in 30 states, Canada, and the UK. That’s as much, if not more, than any expert witness out there. The difference? Instead of trying to ruin your courtroom game- we’re here to up it. We do realistic witness simulations and let you in on the insider info that makes your witness tick or get ticked off.

What Our Clients Say

“Our witness did great yesterday. It was a five hour deposition with lots of the same question in 15 different ways but she hung in there. She was very authentic and very honest. And she said exactly what we needed her to say. So it’s a win for your team and the prep because that was one witness I was worried about. She was a significant concern, but the work you performed made the difference. She listened to questions she gave thoughtful responses. Everything that we wanted. Excellent work. “

– Mark C., Personal Injury Attorney | Juneau, AK

“I slautered another defense expert this morning. It’s been so much fun to cross-examine in real life, and all the improv games and exercises really help!”

– Susie I., Personal Injury Attorney | Berkeley, CA

“I am a habitual note reader. I’ve never learned how to put it down and speak and engage with my audience effectively. Learning from actors and what they do, I’ve been able to take a bit of that on. I haven’t looked at my notes in court since.”

– Bibi B., Barrister | London, UK

“Steve and Olivia portrayed the witness as I would have expected and did see in depositions and trial. It makes me better prepared to get the testimony my clients need. It’s not just cross practice, they help with voir dire, open and close. It will be the best money you spend to improve your skills.”

– Chuck R., DUI Attorney | Indianapolis, IN

“Your channeling of the witness was nothing short of spectacular. Tone, demeanor, body language, etc.”

– Mike W., Personal Injury Lawyer | Atlanta, GA

“Steve and Olivia are our go-to experts for witness prep.”

– Mark C., Personal Injury Lawyer | Juneau, AK

“I didn’t know my class was viable—until this class.”

– Russell G., Personal Injury Lawyer | Santa Barbara, CA
