Professional service begins with a consultation to analyze the case and determine the proper order of proof for trial. A hearing for a DVRO is basically a mini trial without a jury. The petitioner who filed the DVRO, and the respondent who received it, are entitled to present their case to a trial judge.
These are some strategic themes that attorney Pflaum emphasizes to advance the position of the petitioner or the respondent, depending on his client’s status in the case.
The strengths and weaknesses of the case are demonstrated by various methods of trial advocacy. These include direct testimony, cross examination, the right use of evidence, demonstrative exhibits, court records, witnesses, and a persuasive legal argument for the client. The effective lawyer also relies on the rules of Civil Procedure and Evidence Practice to convince the judge to dismiss the DVRO, or make it permanent for up to five years, as the client requests.
