Choosing your attorney
What to Look for in an Attorney
- A person who specializes in matrimonial and family law exclusively.
- One who has had many years of experience.
- One who has worked extensively with other attorneys in the matrimonial field and who has worked with and is familiar with the Judges in the county.
- One who will listen to you.
- One who understands that this is your life, who will explain the costs, both emotional and financial and includes you in all of the decisions to be made throughout the process.
- One who understands that you are going through one of the hardest times of your life and must be treated with respect and dignity.
-
One who understands that your primary focus is, and must be, on your children.
Why should you consider my services?
- I have been an attorney for 26 years and have specialized in matrimonial and family law for the past 14 years.
- I will listen to you and help you to understand your rights and the process we must follow.
- You will be consulted on and informed of all actions and proceedings.
- My goal is to make the process as painless and dignified as possible. If at all possible, I will negotiate a settlement for you. However, if your spouse and his attorney choose to litigate, I can be as tough and combative as necessary to protect your rights.
- As a mother and grandmother, I understand that your primary focus must be on protecting your children. No matter how bitter and hurt you and your spouse may be, "you must love your children more than you hate each other."
WHAT YOU MUST CONSIDER:
Do you really want a divorce?
Have you tried marital counseling?
Temporary separation?
Consult with an attorney-know your rights.
