Trial Practice

Trials occur when two or more parties cannot agree as to the manner in which a dispute should be resolved. While, naturally, it is far better to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all parties (as that will save considerable time, emotional stress, and money), some issues cannot be resolved by settlement and must be submitted to the judge for determination.

It is essential that a party’s case is presented to the judge in the most persuasive manner possible. Advanced thought needs to be given to the technical rules of evidence to make sure that important documents and witnesses are presented at trial so that the judge not only is made aware of all relevant facts, but is convinced to rule in your favor.

The attorneys at Zumbrunn Law Corporation are experienced trial attorneys, knowledgeable in the law, diligent in researching the facts and the particular legal authorizes that may support your case, and are persuasive at trial.
