Family Law Representation
The following material is intended to answer some of your questions about divorce proceedings in general. It is not intended to answer specific questions about your particular case, since each case is different.
The dissolution of a marriage may be a traumatic experience. Your attorney or attorneys are well aware of the emotional involvement of the parties. Though we are not behavioral specialists, we try to relieve your anxiety by attempting to assist in solving the problems that you face during your case.
For us to properly represent you, it is necessary for you to give us all the facts concerning your case. We must also know your wishes. We welcome your viewpoints. Withholding information from your lawyer may affect the outcome of your case, so we advise you to be completely candid with us. Remember that a fiduciary relationship exists between the attorney and client.
We want to stress that, although we will counsel and advise you throughout the case, the final decisions regarding your case must be made by you. Our experience has shown that most divorce cases are settled, which means the parties reach an agreement that is placed on the court's record. Never agree to something you do not understand or something you feel you are forced to agree to. Your consent to an agreement must be voluntary, after consultation with your attorney. After an agreement is placed on the record, it is extremely difficult and sometimes even impossible to change it.
Finally, as your representatives, we are here to advise and inform you, cite the options and alternatives available to you, process your divorce matter, assist you in decision making, and cooperate with you in attempting to obtain the best possible results on your behalf.
