Description

Learn how to equip your witnesses with the tools needed to be successful in depositions and at trial.
Success at trial seldom occurs unless your client can provide compelling and credible testimony, first in depositions and then at trial. Many cases are lost before the jury is ever seated because a witness has given damaging testimonials that prove fatal to the case. In other cases, the cause is lost at trial because a key witness fails to connect with a jury. This topic will prepare you to equip your witnesses with the tools needed to be successful in depositions and at trial. Your witnesses will better understand the process, the audience, and the best approaches for communicating with the opposing attorney, the judge, and the jury. These tools are essential in achieving success in discovery, and if necessary, at trial. Great witnesses make for great cases and great lawyers. Join us and revolutionize your witness preparation skills.
