Board-Certified Criminal Trial Attorney to the Rescue!

Every day, in courtrooms throughout Michigan (and even on Zoom screens during the COVID pandemic), cases are won or lost based on the effective or ineffective cross-examination of witnesses.  What is cross-examination? It is the questioning of the other side’s witness(es), typically under oath. This questioning often unearths important information, and when done effectively, can slice open the other side’s case. 

Dan Geherin, owner of the Geherin Law Group PLLC (GLGMichigan) in Ann Arbor, is an ex-prosecutor and board-certified criminal trial attorney with over 24 years’ courtroom experience.  Dan honed his trial and cross-examination skills in the 1990s as a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County, the biggest and busiest prosecutor’s office in the country.  As a prosecutor, Dan was trained to cross-examine criminal defendants to shake out the truth and prove they were lying or had something to hide.

Why is effective cross-examination so important?

Witnesses often rehearse their testimony with the prosecutor or with their attorney, and they review previous statements to help them “stick with the script.” It is up to the opponent’s attorney to dig deeper, and to probe areas that prove inconsistency, bias, mistakes and sometimes even deceit. A witness often reveals his or her true character or demeanor when they’re pushed, prodded and confronted about prior inconsistencies. Jurors and judges often make up their minds about a witness’ credibility (and even about the whole case) after watching a cross-examination of a central witness.
