| |
| − | 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.
