the rules of procedure and the Rules of

Evidence like the back of your hand

practice a law

trial law litigation

in my opinion is one or lost before you

enter the courtroom like in a sporting

event preparation

cannot be understated you need to know

your judge and research the lawyers on

the other side who who are your

opponents additionally your lawyer must

be confident have emotional intelligence

including the ability to read and

respond to others have adaptability to

think to be able to think quickly on

their feet and adjust to any arguments

and strategies when necessary they must

be highly ethical and be able to

communicate well and be able to tell the

client’s story because that’s what

litigation is really about it’s about

competing stories

2017 to 2023 in business litigation and

in Florida’s legal Elite for commercial

and business litigation I’m one of less

than 300 lawyers in the State of Florida

in either area and to be aware of those

areas
