“Get out of the office. Always visit or inspect the site or the tangible objects that are the subject of the dispute. You will gain infinitely more knowledge by such inspections than you can possibly get from video, photos or documents. It also gives you the upper hand with witnesses who try to lie. It opens leads for evidence that you did not even think of. Also, take a few hours to visit your local courthouse and the clerk’s office. Meet people there, and make connections with the staff.”
