How will I be prepared for court?

The way we prepare you is by familiarizing you with what to expect during a trial. We’ll sit down with you, we’ll go over how to relate to a jury, how to make eye contact with the jury, how to speak to the jury. A lot of people are unfamiliar with the process and if they learn a little bit about what to expect—maybe if it’s just even a matter of looking at the courtroom, or using the mock courtroom that we have here—people get a little more comfortable and I think that assists with the trial preparation. More importantly, we sit down and we talk to you, we listen to you. You have to find out about the client and learn about what the client’s story is and what the client’s particular circumstances are before you can even figure out what questions you are going to ask that client. So I think the first part of it is listening to the client and the second part is explaining to the client what to expect.
