What is the name of your state? Virginia
I will be presenting a small claims case in which I am trying to get money back for a botched psychological report.
As part of my case, I would like to introduce into evidence a letter written by a 3rd person, an educational consultant, who advised me that the report that I received was useless and that I would have to get my daughter re-tested as a result.
My question is if this letter is admissible? The consultant will not be present in court to testify, so could I just introduce this letter as evidence of her opinion in the matter? If not, can I just tell the court what her opinion was, or is the whole thing just considered hearsay?
Thanks for your help!
