THE FOUNDER
Although Michele isn't an attorney, she has over 18 years experience in the legal world. In 2006, she obtained her BA in Legal Studies/Pre-Law from the University of West Florida.
In our Gainesville trial, we have gotten to know a trial logistics coordinator named Michele Schamberger. She calls her business 'Plaintiffs' Gambit'. She is terrific. She arranges rooms, meals (at hotel and court), supplies, laundry, newspapers, cars, pick ups and deliveries. She travels. Definitely worth considering to run a trial site anywhere.

Over the past 17 months, I have had the pleasure of working with Michele (aka Plaintiffs’ Gambit) on numerous large trials. Michele is a problem solver and able to multitask effortlessly. I highly recommend her and assure any team that she’s a true asset.

Michele, the owner and founder of Plaintiffs' Gambit, is the best that ever did it. She handled all the logistics during our trial in Pensacola...She was available 24/7 for anything our team could need. Her kind and warm demeanor along with her impeccable work ethic make Plaintiffs' Gambit a must have during trials. I certainly cannot sing her enough praise.

Every event/trial is different, same goes for individual dietary needs. From keto to vegan, we work with local restaurants to ensure everyone's dietary needs are met, all the while not giving up flavor or variety.

War rooms are spaces where your team and experts can get together to solve a difficult problem and focus on case specific matters. Setting up and breaking down a team's workspace during trial takes time. Let us handle for you.
Ensuring your warroom and individual workspaces are furnished with adequate supplies is critical during a trial. We track, report and order supplies before and during trial. We offer a full range of supplies and equipment—from folders to snacks—with our network of qualified suppliers.
Whether you need a commercial flight, private charter or car service, we resources nation wide.
Our priority is to engage and meet the needs of our clients. During trial, we provide an “on‑site” trial director (legal concierge) to ensure logistical needs are met. This provides your team the ability to focus on case strategy instead of the non-case special matters that take up time and energy.
