A: Remember, the court is not like TV shows like CSI. You don't need DNA, fingerprints and the like. Someone's testimony is evidence enough. Sometimes even circumstantial evidence will do. If you feel you may need to talk to an attorney, most of us provide free consultation--it's better than generic answers online.
