Start with the story in dates
A short chronology can identify which documents matter.
Match documents to points
Contracts, invoices, receipts, messages, photos and records should support specific facts rather than create a giant unsorted file.
Keep originals and copies organized
Court procedures may specify how evidence is filed, exchanged or presented.
Do not coach witnesses or alter records
Preserve information accurately and follow the court's rules.
