Most cases are not won with a Perry Mason type moment in front of a dozen stunned jurors sitting in a packed courtroom; far from it. Indeed, less than ten percent of cases ever go to trial at all. Most often it is the behind the scenes skill set of an experienced and well-versed attorney that make the difference. Skills such as being able to ascertain all of the facts in the case through proper use of legal tools such as depositions and other discovery, researching and understanding exactly how the law applies to those facts once ascertained, proper filing and arguing appropriate motions to the court such as motions to suppress evidence, being able to evaluate your opponent’s position and likely strategy, identifying the intangibles in a case including evaluation of how a witness might be perceived by a court regardless of her testimony, and the ability to harness these skills to artfully negotiate with your opponent are often what leads to a favorable outcome for the client. These are all skills I have honed for nearly two decades.
