What Is An Evidentiary Hearing

Orlando and Winter Haven, Florida, attorney Reed Bloodworth explains that Bloodworth Law litigation often involves an evidentiary hearing.
What is an evidentiary hearing?
"In an evidentiary hearing, that's a situation that requires the judge to hear witness testimony that's under oath, that is relevant to the issue in the case," Reed said.
"When you have an evidentiary hearing, the first thing you've got to do is specifically set it for an evidentiary hearing so that the court is aware that witnesses be available.
"In most circumstances, you need to prepare exhibits ahead of time and get them pre-marked. You treat it somewhat like a mini-trial, like a little bench trial, and very similar to a trial."
What issues require evidentiary hearings?
--Most injunctions require an evidentiary hearing.
--In a probate dispute or a trust dispute, if you're seeking to remove a personal representative or remove a trustee, it typically requires an evidentiary hearing.
--If in a business litigation case you are seeking to have perhaps a receiver appointed to take control over a business, it typically requires an evidentiary hearing.
