the beginnings of the attorney-client
00:06
relationship
00:08
call for the one piece of advice that we
00:11
try to always give and that is to be
00:13
honest with us tell us the truth so that
00:16
we can then try to put the truth in the
00:18
best light
00:20
much of what we do as trial lawyers is
00:22
try to
00:24
portray the facts
00:26
in as good a light as possible to get
00:28
the best possible result but truth is
00:31
the cornerstone of that
00:33
so that kind has to be honest with us
00:35
and then when they give testimony they
00:37
have to be honest with the judge and
00:39
jury and we’ll try to
00:42
pretty it up as best we can
00:44
but
00:45
more cases are lost by people not being
00:49
honest and getting caught either
00:51
deliberately or accidentally sometimes
00:53
people are not honest because they
00:55
either don’t remember correctly or
00:57
they
00:59
over generalize
01:01
you have to work hard to tell the truth
01:04
and you need to tell the truth to the
01:05
lawyers and we always
01:08
ask them to do that and once you’re
01:10
involved as a witness you’ve got to tell
01:11
the truth
01:12
to the judge and jury
01:19
it requires some
01:21
planning
01:22
and it requires a fair amount of effort
01:24
most cases are determined before they
01:26
get to trial you’re going to set up what
01:28
the facts are how the facts are going to
01:29
be presented what through what witnesses
01:32
and you’re going to determine what
01:33
theories of prosecution or defense
01:36
and you’re going to eliminate some areas
01:39
for the other side and eliminate some
01:41
areas that you might pursue on your own
01:43
so the overall strategy requires
01:47
work to determine what will be best and
01:50
a fair amount of judgment
01:53
as to what will what will sell
01:55
the other thing
01:57
to be a successful trial lawyer you
01:59
really need to be comfortable in the
02:01
courtroom
02:02
and you need to have
02:04
somewhat of a presence if you can in the
02:07
courtroom because all eyes will be on
02:09
you and you need to be comfortable with
02:11
that situation and not appear
02:14
that it’s the first time you’ve been in
02:15
court
