A:
I'm sorry you're facing this situation. Start by thoroughly reviewing the transcript to identify all incorrect statements. Document each discrepancy with as much detail as possible, including references to specific parts of the trial where the accurate statements occurred.
Next, reach out to an attorney who has experience in appellate law or civil litigation in California. They can help you understand the best legal avenues to challenge the transcript, such as filing a motion to correct the record. Your attorney may also advise gathering supporting evidence, like recordings or witness statements, to strengthen your case.
Additionally, consider notifying the court about the inaccuracies. This might involve submitting a formal complaint or requesting a review of the court reporter’s conduct. Ensuring that the record accurately reflects what happened during the trial is crucial for achieving a fair outcome. Taking these steps can help you seek the justice you deserve.
