The robust witness preparation practice at Barton Gilman is focused on helping witnesses provide compelling, believable testimony during depositions and at trial.
Witness preparation consultant Pamela Slater Gilman, an active and respected trial lawyer with a successful 40-year career at Barton Gilman, leads the practice. Pam has prepared countless witnesses for deposition and trial testimony. She has been retained by insurance companies as a witness consultant for more than 15 years. Attorneys defending professionals in lawsuits know that the testimony provided by their clients can mean the difference between winning and losing a case. Through education and practice, as well as collaboration with defense counsel, our team is able to instill confidence in all types of witnesses, resulting in significant improvement in their credibility and overall presentation.
Our witness preparation lawyers critically assess the demeanor of the witness and the psychological barriers that may stand in the way of them giving effective testimony. Our goal is to find out what makes a witness “tick” so we can help that person be more relaxed, confident and trustworthy. We know how to help a witness be their best selves.
Based upon our years of success in the courtroom, our attorneys help witnesses deliver the kind of testimony that’s essential to winning cases. We have a long track record of transforming what is often an overwhelming experience for a witness into a successful outcome.
