Taking an active part in your case by doing what your defense attorney 
asks gives you the best chance for a positive outcome..Provide all of 
the information that your attorney requests and follow instructions 
presented to you.
 
Working with a defense attorney is your best chance at receiving a 
positive outcome in court. Be sure to tell your lawyer all that he asks.
Do not hold back any information, because that could harm your case. 
Even if you know of a detail that you think is unimportant but is 
somewhat related to the case, tell your lawyer this information. Let 
your lawyer determine what is important and unimportant. If your lawyer 
prefers that you simply answer direct questions that are posed, do just 
that. 

Each lawyer prefers to work in a certain way, so you should expect to 
conform a bit to those expectations. Your goal is to do everything that 
you can to help your lawyer to assist you in fighting your case. Hiring a
lawyer does not mean that you simply sit back and do nothing. Taking an
active role in your case is best. This means that when your lawyer asks
you for specific documents, you provide them or tell your lawyer how to
get them. You may need to provide names, address, and phone numbers of 
people who may support your case. Do not withhold this information.

Take notes so you will remember what your lawyer tells you. List items 
that your lawyer asks you to bring during meeting or to court. You can 
also list any questions that you may have and bring them to your 
meetings. If you remember anything at all about your case that you did 
not tell your lawyer, write the information down, and either call your 
defense attorney with the new information, or schedule a meeting and 
tell your lawyer the information in person. 

One of the worst things that could happen is to have your lawyer be 
surprised by information presented during the case that you knew and did
not reveal. Your lawyer must trust you, and you must trust your lawyer.
This person may have your freedom or your life in his hands. 

Always be on time for meetings with your lawyer and bring any required 
materials with you. Be respectful of your lawyer's time. This means that
you should be ready and prepared at the time and place that your lawyer
indicates. You certainly must be punctual during court sessions as 
well. Prepare to get to court a few minutes earlier than your sessions. 
Account for traffic and delays that life may throw your way. It's better
to arrive to court several minutes early and have to wait than to show 
up late, angering the judge who decides your case. Being on time shows 
that you are reliable and organized. It also shows that you are a 
conscientious person. 

Remember to follow all of your lawyer's instructions pertaining to your 
behavior in court. This means that you should dress professionally, 
speak so that the judge and members of your court can hear you, and be 
polite and respectful when you answer questions. Never get angry at 
anything that the prosecutor says about you. Respond exactly as your 
lawyer has instructed you to respond. Following the instructions of your
defense attorney can help you.
