The ability to effectively cross-examine and impeach a witness is one of the most important skills in trial advocacy. A strong cross-examination can challenge credibility, expose inconsistencies, and reinforce key case themes. When done effectively, it can significantly influence how a jury evaluates the evidence and testimony presented at trial.
GMR Partner Jeff Tenthoff hosted a CLE program on cross-examining and impeaching witnesses. Jeff shared insights for preparing effective cross-examinations, identifying opportunities to challenge witness testimony, and using prior statements, documents, and other evidence to undermine credibility and strengthen a client’s case.
