Before exhibits

The file opens on your attitude, not on your opponent.

People who will not fix their own part of the problem are why this desk will not say 100%. Answer honestly. A “no” does not start a file. You can change the answer when it is true.

1. 01

   If the papers show you also broke the deal, will you write that down?

   Yes. My part goes in the file.No. I only want their part examined.

2. 02

   Will you include documents that do not help you?

   Yes. The full thread, not the highlights.No. I will send what supports me.

3. 03

   Do you want a result both people can perform, or a result that punishes?

   A result both can actually perform.I want them punished.

4. 04

   Will you answer in writing, on a date you agree to?

   Yes. I will answer on the date.I will answer when I feel like it.

5. 05

   Do you understand this room is not a court and not a law firm?

   Yes. It is private mediation. It does not file for me.I want you to act as my lawyer in court.

6. 06

   Do you understand we will not promise a result?

   Yes. It depends on the evidence and on whether we both face our own part.I need you to guarantee it.

What to gather

• The writing, if there is one — the whole page.
• Messages in order, not a selection.
• Photos with dates, and payments with dates.
• What you received, not only what you paid.
• The part you would rather leave out. Write it before you are asked.
