An Experienced Family Law Attorney - PRICELESS!
Gordon Gibb recently wrote an excellent article for lawyersandsettlements.com about the importance of hiring an experienced divorce lawyer. He lasers in on the topic with his opening sentences. “If there ever was a more important role for lawyers and litigation professionals, it is in family law. Corporate law, environmental law, even real estate law has nuthin’ on the complexities and the drama that explodes from divorce petitions, custody battles-even who gets to keep the family dog”. He concludes with “Experts suggest that if your relationship looks as though it is coming apart and you’re considering divorce, the best couple of hundred bucks you’ll ever spend is by sitting down with a reputable family law firm for a consultation. In an hour, the family attorneys can give you a pretty good idea of what you might be in for, what the dynamic, the payout and the cost, the likely custody arrangement, and in a nutshell what kind of life you’re going to have at the end of it all. It may not be pretty, and after hearing the hard facts you might think twice about dissolving your relationship, and try to patch it up instead.”
If unfortunately you find you marriage “on the rocks”, be proactive and talk to a qualified and experienced family law attorney at the outset. Don’t simply rely on advice from friends who have gone through a divorce. Divorce cases are very fact sensitive and outcomes vary dramatically based on subtle nuances. Nuances that only a qualified family law attorney can flesh out and properly assess.
