Preparation helps cases settle. For instance, if a client claims that they have $100,000 separate property interest in a retirement account, their attorney can send a letter saying they’ve got the separate property interest, but without supporting documentation, it’s going to be harder to get that resolved.
If a client helps organize the documents necessary to prove the claims, then the other side realizes that you have a realistic position, you’re prepared to go to trial, and you have your evidence to back up your position. At some point, that case is going to settle. It may settle on the steps of the courthouse, but preparation helps get cases settled.
