The secret weapon to successfully handling any case is no weapon at all. Rather, it is a strategy encapsulated in one word— preparation. Without it, the outcome is in jeopardy. Preparation gives you the best chance of success.
Litigation requires thorough familiarity with all the facts of your client’s case and applicable law. An in-depth interview with your client should give you the facts necessary to frame the issues and likelihood of successes. Preparation is not limited to familiarity with the facts of your case and knowledge of the law. It requires you to marshal evidence. This includes detailed interviews with potential witnesses, experts and character witnesses.
