Matt, this was useful but I had hoped you would fill us in on more intricate details of how to testify 🙂. Like in high profile cases, how attorneys actually prepare their clients.
You know, most Criminal Defense Attorneys are members of local and state Criminal Defense Lawyer Associations where they are able to pool their collective resources in providing a defense for their clients. You're absolutely correct that the prosecution holds the advantage, but an experienced attorney can use the Constitution to their client's benefit.
You know, in the years that I've spent practicing law, I've learned that "common sense" isn't actually all that "common" unfortunately. You're absolutely right though, many times the book does in fact get judged by its cover, and you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
We've handled one of those locally before. The best advice would be to focus on the Cause of Action (fraud, breach of contract, etc.) and speak with a local attorney. They'll probably only work on an hourly basis since recovery of attorney's fees (or any recovery) will be difficult. So sorry to hear that you're going though that! I hope you didn't lose too much to the scammers. 😟
@@pathanson2220 OMG! 😱 That's terrible! Definitely contact someone locally and don't quit even if the first couple of attorneys won't take the case. Our client was out $15K, and we got him $80k and several attorneys turned him away before he came to us.
@@MahoganeighB oh fun! Make sure you check out our Using Text Messages to Win in Court video. It also goes over some evidence tactics that apply to a LOT more than text messages.
If only....thats what i thought how it would go for us in our case.... complete opposite of attorney client relationship...more like theyre on the other partys side 😔
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC tbh, feel its because who the plaintiffs are ,that no other thing needs to be said on the matter it seems like...but still appreciate your tips and videos they do help
@@martinezmartinez886 Well fortunately for you, it sounds like you're on Defense (which usually means that the other side has the burden of proof at trial. I'm glad you find our tips and videos helpful! We've got plenty more on the way. 😁

There needs to be a thinktank put together in how to win criminal trials, the prosecution has such an advantage in this day and age.
