Is it okay to bring letters instead of witnesses?
Some letters and other documents may be admitted in evidence for limited purposes, but generally it is better to bring witnesses who can help present your side of the case and answer any questions raised. The judge will not speak with witnesses, except at the hearing itself. If you do choose to offer letters or affidavits from people, it is best to have them sworn to by the author of the letter or affidavit. Remember: This hearing is your chance to tell the judge your side. It is important to have your witnesses present at the hearing to testify, or, if they cannot be present, to present sworn letters or affidavits.
