Tried and True North Carolina Lawyers and Litigators
When it comes to effective advocacy, there is no substitute for courtroom experience.
If you find yourself inside a courtroom, it’s imperative to have legal counsel who has a reputation for trial skills, legal knowledge, and who isn’t afraid to fight for your rights.
Bill Powers is an award-winning North Carolina attorney, with more than 27 years of in-the-trenches, practical trial experience.
“If we’re in court, we’re there to win. It’s that simple. Your lawyer must be willing to tell the other side, ‘We’ll see you in court’ and follow-through with that threat. It helps if they can back it up with years of courtroom experience.” Bill Powers
If a legal matter is called for trial, that means there is a disagreement that isn’t likely going to be resolved by further negotiations.
In any such legal battle, the courtroom is where disputes are ultimately settled.
To be effective, the other side must realize you’re not afraid to go to court, also understanding you don’t litigate for the sake of arguing. Your lawyer’s reputation in the legal community and their legal experience matter.
It’s more than posturing. Lawyers must possess a reputation for reasonableness.
Advocacy, truly advocating for a client’s best interests, involves talking common-sense with the other side, knowing what will happen if a case is taken to trial.
A critical part of any legal advice is understanding the realities of court and how trials proceed. It’s more than book knowledge.
Real-world, courtroom experience helps lawyers provide reliable legal advice to their clients.
Your lawyer must be unafraid to take the matter to trial, to argue motions in court, and to challenge the other side in their legal theories and ability to present compelling evidence.
In selecting a lawyer, don’t just look at their wins. Ask about their losses too.
It’ll tell you a lot about their experience and the basis for their legal opinions.
“My legal advice is predicated on decades of experience. The best lawyers I know have tried cases, lost in court, and learned from them. Wins, and more importantly painful losses, in court, make for better legal decisions. It’s more than theoretical to me. Lives are changed in court.” Bill Powers
