Litigation is an information business. The obvious information you need to present to others is your client’s story. But there is plenty of other information you need to present to the other side and to the judge and jury. What scares a lawyer the most is getting buried in unorganized information and then — forgetting to ask the critical question, losing an advantage at trial, or not having the foundation to get an exhibit into evidence.
The reasons most attorneys don’t do well at trial are simple:
- They don’t know the tactics!
- They are not organized!
- They do not have the checklists they need during the trial!
It’s a matter of tactics, organization, and checklists — That’s why we are here for you.
