Preparation for trial
Preparation for trial
You need to start preparation for Trial as soon as possible.
The sort of preparation that we may need to do is the following;
1. Subpoenas - to get documents brought to Court that we think will be helpful to your case
2. Get expert reports to show where the prosecution witnesses are making wrongful assumptions
3. Further instructions from you
4. Proofing witnesses who we may call on your behalf
The key is to have a plan in place with your lawyers about how your matter is being handled.
If you do not prepare properly you may deny yourself the chance to win your case.
