While there is a very structured set of procedures in the litigation process, those procedures can change with the twists and turns of a case, and change in ways you don’t anticipate. Good litigators are prepared, and not easily rattled by the unexpected. For many lawyers and clients, it is their goal not to go to trial. In fact, most issues filed in court conclude in settlement. Once in the courtroom, however, a lawyer who is a litigator is crucial to the success of any case.
