What will happen at the Pretrial Conference?

At the pretrial conference your attorney will meet with the prosecutor from the Office of the District Attorney. Your attorney will usually receive the discovery materials during that meeting along with an initial offer in your case.

If Van Wagner & Wood represents you, it is not necessary for you to appear in person at the pretrial conference unless your attorney tells you otherwise. It also will not be necessary or useful for you to meet with your attorney before the pretrial conference because it is at that conference that your attorney will first receive the discovery materials on your case.

After the pretrial conference, you will receive information explaining the initial offer along with other details above discover, if applicable.

NOTE: The initial offer is not written in stone!
