Launi's experience as a litigation attorney and as a former Judge Pro Tem has given her the opportunity to see the many mistakes made by self represented litigants and how those preventable mistakes lead to disappointing outcomes in their cases, where the results could have been more favorable. As an example, Launi has seen cases where, although evidence was presented to the court, it was never admitted into evidence. If evidence is not admitted, it will usually not be considered by the court. Therefore, something as simple as NOT asking the court to admit evidence can have a detrimental effect on the case.
