FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS


HOW SHOULD I PROVIDE DOCUMENTS IN A LAWSUIT?

Whether you are retaining us in a transaction or in a lawsuit, you should never provide original documents to a lawyer or his paralegal, unless you have a legal duty to provide the original.

IF I WROTE EMAILS THAT HURT MY CASE, SHOULD I “LOSE” OR DESTROY THE EVIDENCE?

I always advise my clients to allow an attorney to sort out what may or may not hurt your case. Destroying documents can result in sanctions from a trial judge that can ultimately hurt the outcome of your case.
