Gather cross-examination material on opponents, opposing fact witnesses and experts

Our litigator-clients often call us for help in preparing for upcoming depositions and trials after the discovery process has failed to produce the information needed for effective cross-examination.

Surprise is a key element in every litigator's cross-examination strategy, and the Mintz Group is adept at preserving it. Information quietly gathered about adverse witnesses often exposes their testimony as perjured before they realize how much is known about them.

Demonstrating extraordinary knowledge about a witness's background may enable the examining attorney to control an evasive or obdurate witness.

For example, expert witnesses can be examined more effectively when the responsible attorney is familiar with their testimony in prior cases. We are skilled at finding such testimony.

During trial, litigators may ask us to plug last-minute factual holes or to find evidence contradicting surprise testimony from the other side. We understand the need to respond to such assignments on tight deadlines.
