How Brenna prepares for court
Preparation takes more hours than the hearing. Brenna reads the government's file line by line, builds a timeline with the client, and practices the testimony with the questions the judge and the government's lawyer are likely to ask.
With Spanish-speaking clients, Dulce, Gerardo or Nuria is in the room for every preparation session, so nothing is lost in between.
