Towson Divorce Lawyer | Evidence and Discovery.
Experienced Family Lawyer Who Acquires Evidence Properly
Without Evidence You Can Have Admitted At Trial, You Have Nothing
As a Maryland Family Lawyer, Amar Weisman gathers evidence during discovery and presents evidence at trial that focuses on quality of quantity. High quality evidence is reliable and sheds light on an issue that contested (or presented to the fact finder to make a decision).
The time to identify important evidence is at the beginning of the case long before trial. By identifying categories of evdience that are relevant to what the judge will probably have to decide, we can send out discovery to force not only the opposing party but also third-parties to produce verifiable records that meet the stringent requirements set forth in the Maryland Rules of Evidence.
If you have an evidence/discovery strategy, you will not be looking for "the best" exhibits in the weeks before your case goes to trial. If the goal is to settle, then the failure to plan, gather and share evidence properly can make settlement almost impossible.
that is because the purpose of discovery is to exchange enough information so both sides can identify the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Pro Se Parties reprsenting themselvs almost always focus on evidence that proves their point without any real consdieration of what strengthens the other side's case and responding with rebuttal evidence.
The Maryland Family Law Rules Provide Methods and Timelines for Acquiring Information
The family law discovery process includes, but is not limited to, the following discovery requests: Maryland Family Law Interrogatories, which are written questions sent to the opposing party to be answered within a 30-day timeframe; Requests for the Production of Documents, which are requests for specific documents from the opposing party to be answered within 30 days; Requests for Inspection of Property; Subpoenas, which require individuals to appear at a trial or deposition; Notices of Deposition, which inform parties of upcoming depositions; Notices of Depositions Duces Tecum, which compel third parties to provide information; and Requests for Admission of Fact.
