Jennifer Ries, Esq.

Litigation Consultant

Jennifer Ries is nationally recognized as a trial lawyer. She litigated cases in courts across the country as part of her firm’s catastrophic trial team where her clients parachuted her into cases for her skills and expertise. Her base jurisdiction of Cook County Chicago, renowned for its quality of attorneys and nuclear verdicts, provided her with high-caliber experience as recognized by her multiple awards. As one of the founding members in 2002 of the national firm Hall Prangle LLC, Ms. Ries also served as managing partner. Her clients included multi-facility healthcare and other organizations as well as individuals, defending them in matters involving negligence, insurance coverage, product liability, premises liability, battery, and breach of confidentiality.

In her 28 years’ experience preparing witnesses, it was in these high-pressure cases where she keenly saw the importance of relieving that pressure before they testified. Ms. Ries worked with CogentEdge Consultants on her toughest cases and witnesses and saw results nothing less than miraculous. After she convinced all her clients that CogentEdge’s PowerWitness® Process was the “secret sauce” to a good result in their cases, she realized she had to join CogentEdge.  Ms. Ries’ experience with difficult witnesses across the country enables her to prepare professionals in a wide variety of settings and industries.
