How to testify in Court

ByShannon Gunn Emery Hours Categories Criminal Law

I recently finished a three-day sexual assault trial in which my client ended up testifying. He did well and was acquitted of all charges. Good testimony is not just a question of luck – he was properly prepared.

At Gunn Law Group, we know how scary it can be when you realize you may have to testify in Court. What do you bring with you? What should you wear? What can you do to get through cross-examination unscathed?

After I finished preparing my client on how to be a good witness, it occurred to me that it would be good to have a podcast people could listen to about how to testify in Court. No sooner did I think of it, than it was done.

Legal Eyes’ latest episode, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Testifying but Was Afraid to Ask” is now up on our website and is available wherever you listen to podcasts. Have a Court appearance coming up? Scared stiff? No worries! Gunn Law Group has you covered.

We address everything from what to wear to how to handle those tricky questions. And the nice thing is, you can listen as many times as needed to relax and feel ready. If you are one of our clients, please also feel free to reach out and ask your lawyer if you have any questions. We are here to help you through every step of your case.

Hi, I’m Shannon Gunn Emery, one of the lawyers with Gunn Law in Alberta, and we are here to help you with everything impaired driving related. If you were charged… “charged”, after December 1st, 2020 you may have a lot of questions! You aren’t actually “charged” but you are really “accused”.

  • Ringing in 2019: New Laws on Impaired Driving In Canada

    ByShannon Gunn Emery Hours

    With the end of 2018 came a whole new era in impaired driving prosecutions. Many amendments have been made to the Criminal Code since the first version of the charge of driving while intoxicated was created by Parliament in 1921. However, the changes the Liberal government brought into being on December 18, 2018 are arguably the most radical changes since 1969, when breath-testing for alcohol on a large scale became possible and the offence of “over 80” made its debut in the Criminal Code of Canada. APPROVED SCREENING DEVICE DEMANDS For the first time, police can require a motorist, under pain of prosecution, to provide a sample of breath into a screening device without having any reason to believe the person is under the influence…

  • What to Know Before You Plead Guilty to Impaired Driving

    ByShannon Gunn Emery Hours

    Why You Should Think Carefully Before Pleading Guilty You may feel overwhelmed, embarrassed, and eager to put an impaired driving charge behind you.  In that state of mind, pleading guilty right away may seem like the responsible thing to do. One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding impaired driving charges is the belief that no one ever wins these cases. Friends, relatives, or acquaintances may tell you there is no point in fighting the charge. While they mean well, they are not reviewing the evidence, police procedures, or legal issues that could affect the outcome of your case. Every impaired driving case is different. A lawyer can examine how the investigation was conducted, if your rights were respected, and if there are any weaknesses in the…

  • An Anniversary and a Time for Reflection

    ByShannon Gunn Emery Hours

    This time last year we were trying to anticipate what the new Criminal Code amendments to the laws on impaired driving would mean for our clients. Our lawyers have been kept very busy since the new laws took effect on December 18, 2018. As we approach the one-year anniversary of the amendments, Gunn Law Group is taking this time to look back at how the amendments have played out and what we may expect in the future. The introduction of mandatory alcohol screening (referred to as the MAS demand) was the change that attracted the most media attention at the time. If you were stopped in the past twelve months for speeding, failing to stop or just by an officer who decided to pull you…
