Litigators Who Have Experience with Last-Minute Trial Situations

You wouldn’t trust a doctor to operate on you if they had never held a scalpel, and you wouldn’t hire a mechanic if they had never worked on a car. The same should be true for your attorney: you want to be represented by an attorney who has actual experience taking a case to trial before a judge or jury.

A lot of attorneys can do well when they have an ample amount of time to prepare for trial. But the real test for an attorney is getting ready to win the case when they don’t have very much time. The Los Angeles last-minute trial attorneys at Tauler Smith LLP are able to prepare for trial quickly because we have experience taking over cases in the 11^th hour.

Los Angeles Last-Minute Trial Lawyers Who Can Develop a Winning Strategy

Preparing a case for a last-minute trial means engaging in a bit of triage. The Tauler Smith parachute trial attorneys will quickly sift through the information in your case so that we can understand what the causes of action are and build up the strongest arguments in support of your story. We will also identify weaknesses in both the claims and defenses so that we can develop a theme for the trial.

Trial lawyers need to be adaptable and ready to radically alter strategy when the circumstances change. For example, your trial strategy might need to be adjusted if the other side introduces new evidence or if a witness offers surprising testimony. This is when having experienced emergency counsel can make all the difference because they know how to adapt on the fly.

Rescue Counsel Ready to Take Your Case to Trial in California State or Federal Court

Most litigators are petrified by trials. This is especially true for complicated cases and difficult practice areas, such as complex business disputes, employment claims, and felony criminal charges. In fact, many lawyers try to push their clients to accept unfavorable settlements because they fear an uncertain outcome if the case goes to trial.

Our California last-minute trial lawyers live for trial work, and we’ve got the background and record to prove it. We are tenacious litigators who do not shy away from a courtroom battle.

We Will Make Sure Your Story Gets Told to the Jury

Knowing the law and making strong legal arguments is an important aspect of winning your case when it goes to trial. But equally important is the storytelling aspect of litigation, which involves telling your trial story to the jury in a convincing way. The Tauler Smith LLP litigators are extremely gifted storytellers because we are always working on, and perfecting, our presentation skills in the courtroom.

We also know how to build rapport with jurors so that they are more likely to empathize with our clients and buy into the narrative and theme that we present throughout the trial.

Replacement Counsel Who Can Take Over Your Late-Notice Case
