Winning Starts With You: “Your Evidence, Your Responsibility” - It is not the lawyer's role to produce evidence independently.

Lawyers are tasked to guide individuals on the possible legal remedies available under specific circumstances. When evidence is needed to support a claim, it is the responsibility of the [p]arty involved to process it or, at the very least, authorize their lawyer to obtain it.

It is [n]ot the lawyer's role to produce evidence independently. Those with firsthand knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding the case must provide the necessary information to their legal counsel.
