Settlement Leverage for Plaintiff Firms: Westlaw Advantage + Supio in Practice

When defense counsel files a Rule 702 motion to strike your expert, or builds a theory on cherry-picked medical records, answering it the traditional way takes days of research a small firm does not have. Insurers have little reason to settle while their counsel keeps billing, and every unanswered argument compounds.

‍

Todd Travis, Principal Attorney at Rampart Injury Lawyers in Colorado, has practiced for 34 years and works alongside his son Jordan in a two-attorney firm. In this fireside chat with Supio, he shares how he uses Westlaw Advantage with Supio Agent to draft motions, responses, and replies from the firm's own templates and knowledge base, with first drafts that used to take hours now arriving in minutes.

‍

Todd walks through his first test, a defense Rule 702 motion to strike his expert, and a case stuck at 4x the original offer just two days after a Supio strategy session. He also explains why he was reluctant to connect his legal research tools to anything else, and what changed his mind at SupioSphere 2026. The session closes with live Q&A from attendees.
