trial attorneys
Lawyers who litigate
Trial attorneys are lawyers who specialize in courtroom litigation, presenting cases before judges and juries.
While all trial attorneys are litigators, not all litigators go to trial—many cases settle beforehand.
Trial attorneys handle witness examination, opening statements, closing arguments, and the strategic theater of persuading a jury: The trial attorney's cross-examination demolished the witness's credibility.
