THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Gilstrap is one of the smartest and most prepared judges you will ever have the pleasure of practicing before. He actually listens. Better, or worse if you are unprepared, he has read every important case and he may question you. ALWAYS be prepared, be civil, cooperative and respectful of the court and especially of the jury. Do not ever lie, misstate or overstate. Period! If he catches a lawyer violating those cardinal precepts, that lawyer is permanently TOAST. I've had cases in dozens of federal courts nationwide, domestic arbitrations and international arbitrations Judge Gilstrap is world class.
