Are all Attorneys Trial Lawyers?

No.  Trial lawyers are those who appear before courts and administrative agencies to represent people, entities or the government.  Most legal matters are managed without the need to appear in court.  As a result, most lawyers are not directly involved in litigation.  This is an important factor to understand when you’re choosing an attorney as the type of attorney that you choose could greatly impact the outcome of your case.  Trial lawyers bring different skills to the table and because any matter might eventually end up in court, a trial lawyer can implement a strategy early on in a case that will benefit their client in the future if the matter goes to trial. Hiring a lawyer is an important personal matter, so it is vital that you learn as much as possible about your attorney and law firm that will represent you beforehand.

Responsibilities of a Trial Lawyer

Trial lawyers / litigators are responsible for filing lawsuits, gathering evidence, conducting research, meeting with clients, filing and arguing motions, in addition to presenting the case in front of a judge and/or jury. They make opening and closing statements in trials, ask questions to witnesses and present evidence to the court during the trial proceedings. Trial lawyers need to be persuasive, eloquent, have a good understanding of the rules of court procedure and determine how to best present evidence and the client’s case to the court.

Choosing the Best Lawyer For You

Not all cases go to trial but sometimes this may not be your choice.  Hiring an experienced lawyer who is a trial lawyer / litigator will ensure that you have the best representation should you be required to go to court.  At FitzGerald Law Company our immigration, criminal and personal injury lawyers are all well versed negotiators as well as strong trial lawyers.  Having experience in our three practice areas and working with people from different backgrounds and cultures, our attorneys have a unique set of skills and perspective that sets them apart.
