Importance of Consulting a Lawyer Before Taking the Stand
Witnesses are often subpoenaed to provide testimony or additional documents
for a legal case. Sometimes, these documents or your testimony can be
potentially damaging. Your attorney can inform you of your rights, explore
the possibility of challenging the subpoena, and help you weigh the potential
risks. At our firm, we can guide you through the process and work to safeguard
your interests.
Consulting a lawyer before serving as a witness can help you avoid the
possibility of:
- Damage to your reputation
- Damage to your career
- Self-incrimination
- Criminal exposure
- Unintentional disclosure of sensitive or confidential information
- Providing testimony that appears conflicting or problematic
