Witness Statement Preparation
Draft witness statements grounded in the record, with every assertion cited for a lawyer to verify and own.
What It Does
The agent drafts a structured statement from interview notes and the matter record, cites the supporting document for each point, and flags claims it cannot ground. A lawyer revises and signs off.Without it: Preparing statements means cross-checking accounts against documents by hand, which is slow and risks asserting more than the evidence supports.
- Recollection in the witness's words stays separate from document-backed assertions
- Where the record contradicts the account, the contradiction is noted, not smoothed
- Facts in the file the witness never mentioned are not added
- The draft goes to the lawyer, never to the witness for signature
Illustrative example
An interview with a warehouse supervisor on a stock-loss claim is written up and filed. The agent drafts the statement in the firm's format, cites goods-received note GRN-4471 behind the delivery paragraph, marks the sentence about a call to the depot as ungrounded since nothing in the evidence store records it, and notes that the stated shift start conflicts with the rota. The lawyer walks into the second interview knowing the two points that need putting to the witness.
