⚖️Trial Preparation Services⚖️
Self-representation in Family Court is challenging enough just appearing for updates, negotiations, temporary orders, etc. Add in the overwhelm of trial and that just makes things worse, especially for the pro se litigant. Although we have personally coached pro se litigants through successful trials, it is not wise to do it all on your own. I don’t care how smart you are, how organized you are or how well you speak in public, you will have an extremely difficult time if you handle your divorce or custody trial all on your own.
Rates start at $4995, a fraction of what it would cost to hire an experienced family law trial attorney, without compromising any of the results.
NOTE: This service is NOT a DONE FOR YOU, but a DONE WITH YOU. So we don’t prepare the actual witness questions, Opening or Closing Statements, etc. FOR YOU. We encourage you to do that yourself and then we discuss what you’ve done in the meetings. This is to ensure that we are not crossing the line with giving legal advice. Not to mention, it empowers you and prepares for future court proceedings.

Benefits of the Service:
There is nothing like having an experienced professional you can go to at any time with the gazillion questions that come up as you prep for trial. That’s what we pride ourselves on, being that resource, that support, that source of confidence, etc. to help you get through what will be one of the most tumultuous experiences ever. We’re not your typical pro se coach (like the other ones who have no legal experience beyond handling their own case) that relies on just their personal trial experience with you. Every member of our team has professional experience with divorce and custody trials all over the country.
Here are some of the advantages of our service:
1. Show up with a New Sense of Confidence
There’s nothing more encouraging than knowing that you covered all bases to ensure that you can to get the outcome you wan at trial. Taking control and charge of your case is so much more rewarding no matter what the outcome is. Having knowledge builds confidence, having confidence wipes out fear. We focus on all of this!
2. Be Prepared for Almost Anything
The key to winning at trial is OVER preparing. Even though the most skilled trial lawyer occasionally leaves something out or forgets something when preparing for trial, we work hard at avoiding that. Having someone to serve as your second of eyes and ears, overlooking even the smallest detail is nearly impossible. Our system is designed to help you be more prepared than EVER.
3. Get a Clearer Understanding of the Court Process
Pro se litigants, particularly, have a hard time understanding all the nuances of the court process and this is the main reason they get disappointing results. Knowing the law, familiarizing yourself with procedure and understanding the role of each key player ALL matter. Every judge, every court, every case is different so it is extremely important that you understand each of these and how they overlap.
4. Present your Case in the Most Influential Way
You need a Gameplan and you need to execute it! Period! You only get one bite at the apple to convince the judge of your claims or defenses. It is extremely critical to put the pieces together and present the whole case in a way the court finds it more believable than the other party’s case. This is exactly why we pay attention to every phase of your case in detail.
How it Works:
We take our work very serious and go deep in preparing even the most challenging case for Family Court trial. Because we spend endless hours researching gathering, organizing, analyzing, assessing…the list goes on…we have to limit the number of people we can work with at a time. So we have an application process for our Trial Preparation service, which can take up to 48 hours for review.

So trial preparation should start the moment your case is scheduled for trial or earlier. The sooner you start gathering evidence, doing Discovery, issuing subpoenas, etc. the better. However, we understand that things come up so we would accept your request as long as we have at least thirty (30) days to help you prepare. We jump right in the moment you hire us.
