Preparation Steps for Trials
The foundation of a successful case is thorough preparation, and this starts long before trial day.

They emphasize the importance of preparing witnesses well in advance, confirming availability, and coordinating any necessary documentation to make their testimonies as effective as possible.
Maintaining Case Organization
Angeles and Johnnathan also highlight how proactive paralegals ensure every detail is accounted for, from pre-trial motions to evidence handling.
