The Courtroom is the stage and the other principals in the Courtroom are the actors. The Director is the Judge, and the lead actor is your Attorney. The other lead is the Prosecutor who, like in any movie, plays the bad guy who is paid to convict you. It's nothing personal but, like any actor playing a part, he has a script to follow. Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, I spent two decades as a film and video director with offices and a production company in Royal Oak. During the time, directing and producing films for different audiences and venues, one thing became clear, if you want to engage the audience, you have to tell a good story.

The same is true in Court. You must have an attorney who can tell your story, whether it's telling your story to a jury if you go to trial, telling it to a Prosecutor if you are trying to make a deal, or telling it to the Judge. The ability of your attorney to create a scene, involve the intended audience in your story, and get the jury, Prosecutor, or Judge to relate to your situation is going to make a difference in how your story is told but how it ends.
