Testimony for trial questions.

[Jay P.]

Hello All,

State: IL

My attorney has asked me for provide a testimony under oath for eviction (bench trial).

What type of questions will be asked? Not sure if anyone know?

I was told the following: 

"I will need either you or a qualified agent to show up to court

and I will ask you questions under oath - this will be your testimony

for the trial."

I have no more information on this right now

Thank you!

If I hired an attorney and was forced to go online for guidance on what to expect before testifying you better believe I would put a stop on that check.

With that being said- Make sure you know the ins and outs of your lease terms, refresh yourself as to the facts of the breach(es) and how each was addressed when you became aware of them. And generally refresh memory by reviewing your file as to the facts specific to that tenant and his dwelling (when lease was signed, repair, etc.) Bring all your documents with you and if you are ever not sure of an answer tell the buffoon you hired that you will need to look at document x to help refresh your recollection.
