Trial

During the period between the time of the pretrial conference and the trial, in addition, to further litigation, evaluations, and reports your attorney should still make every effort to bring the matter to a settlement. However, if the disputes cannot be resolved then the matter will proceed to trial. Trials in Ohio are conducted directly to the judge. Your attorney should be meeting with you and your witnesses discussing openly various trial strategies to decide on the best and preparing you to testify. In addition to that, the attorney will be preparing to submit all necessary documents to support your position along with any pretrial requests of materials that are necessary for trial.

If trial does become necessary we feel, at Comunale law offices, that client preparation is the most important aspect of going to trial. In our office trial preparation we will cover how to handle direct examination and most importantly cross examination by the other attorney, along with witness preparation and an outline of how the trial will actually proceed. In all ways, when you step into the courtroom on the day of trial, you will know what to expect.

After the trial has concluded, the judge will generally take the matter under advisement and issue a written decision within several weeks. If one party is unsatisfied with the outcome of the trial they may, in a separate action, file a challenge to the judge's decision with the court of appeals, which rules on issues raised at the lower court level.
