Faulkner represents clients who must appear at various divorce related hearings.

In any divorce, there can be a wide variety of hearings a party may need to attend.  Such hearings can be before a judge or before a general magistrate.  Regardless of the hearing in question, certain rules of evidence may apply.  If a party is unfamiliar with the rules of evidence, as most non-lawyers are, the party may be prevented from using critical evidence that might have assisted the party's case.  For example, parties often try to testify in hearings as to what their child told them regarding issues such as where and with whom they want to live or how they feel about the other parent.  Such testimony is hearsay and, therefore, will generally not be allowed into evidence. 

There are also many do's and don'ts that apply with regard to how to present evidence in terms of persuasiveness as well as knowing when not to present evidence.  Non-lawyers often introduce evidence that they believe is helping them, when in fact the evidence is very damaging to their case.

Hearings often require the presence of witnesses.  Many times those witnesses are less than willing to participate and must be compelled to appear at the hearing.  As an experienced Orlando divorce attorney, David A. Faulkner will know how to secure the presence of witnesses.
