Brad Koffel compares the experience of going to trial to going onto a stage. However, attorneys aren’t just actors. They’re also directors. An attorney’s institutional knowledge of facts, law, and relevant pre-trial motions controls the flow of a case. That narrative control helps attorneys like Koffel make the court see defendants as people, not crimes.
It’s his duty to compassionately present his clients’ circumstances in court. Koffel diligently prepares for all of his trials. A week before a trial begins, he works with his staff to create a compound “football,” much like the presidential football. That “football” contains all of the information relevant to a client’s case.
While Koffel doesn’t write down the questions he plans to ask during a trial, he uses the comprehensive knowledge available to him in a trial’s football to bring a personal, informed touch to a client’s defense. Clients can count on Koffel and his fellow attorneys to continually provide them with personalized representation and legal advice as their case progresses.
