Many lawyers practice in the civil and criminal litigation practice area, filing and defending suits. Without a skilled trial lawyer, it is very difficult to win a case. In criminal cases, most states provide legal counsel to defendants who cannot afford a trial lawyer. In the civil litigation process most states do not provide counsel to parties who cannot afford lawyers. A trial lawyer manages the entire process of a case from pre-trial, to motion practice, to settlement hearings, to trial, judgment and even appeal. A good trial lawyer is both a skilled tactician who knows the trial process, as well as a brilliant strategist.
