Essentials
Preparation, preparation, and preparation – are the three essentials for my clients to attain success. Whether it is a client meeting, deposition, hearing, or trial, it is not just a matter of showing up and a good result is automatically achieved. It is all of the work that is performed before showing up to one of those events: creating a meeting agenda before an appointment with a client; drafting a list of questions to ask a deponent; composing an outline of questions for witnesses at a trial, or perfecting the closing argument to convince the judge/jury that your client should prevail. I often describe it as seeing a play at the Fox Theater; it may have been a two hour play but 200 hours of preparation went into that two hour play. It is no different when addressing serious family law issues in the courts. Preparation, preparation, and preparation.
