I’m not talking about an estate planning attorney or a probate lawyer who says they go to court a lot. Interview your probate lawyer and ask him/her if they actually try cases, how many cases they have tried, how many times they are in court, how they conduct depositions and how many appellate courts there in. If they’re handling trial sand appeals, they’re going to be in every case, they’re going to be many cases and in most district courts of appeal and they’re going to be used to trying cases and they will know the evidence code, the rules of civil procedure as well as the probate code.
