make a decision.
We typically question the defendant. We may bring in one
or more experts who have the ability to testify about the
calls.
The next phase is the trial phase, which is discussed below.
Please know that most cases never reach the trial phase.
Instead, a settlement is reached.
Settlement
If the defendant offers a settlement, it will be wise to
consider the potential for and practicality of an out-of-court
settlement as compared to going through litigation and
perhaps trial. Most cases settle before reaching the trial
stage. Settlement can be discussed by either side at any
time, and is often a timely and cost-effective alternative to
trial. In our experience, a settlement offer and the potential
outcome at trial are roughly the same, and a settlement
mitigates the risk of losing at trial. If we receive a settlement
offer, we will explain
Trial
If your case goes to trial, the timing of the trial will be
determined by the court. During the trial, we will present
evidence on your behalf. The side that wins at trial usually
files a motion asking the court to order the losing side to
pay the winner’s costs to prosecute or defend the case.
