My practice includes transactional work such as contracts and government administration cases, but much of what I do involves the courtroom. The benefit of hiring a trial lawyer is that you will have an advocate who is comfortable when you find yourself in a legal fight. This does not mean that your case has to go to trial, but a trial lawyer will be in a better position to help you when a fight is necessary. My experience includes successfully prosecuting and defending both civil litigation claims and criminal cases.
