There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that my clients are happier when they resolve their divorce cases without litigation. This is true whether I am representing someone who earns $30,000 or $300,000.
Going through a divorce is traumatic. It saddens me to see people hire attorneys who gladly will waste their money and time fighting over trivial things that don’t matter. The cost both financially and emotionally can be tremendous.
We are lucky that in Jacksonville most of the attorneys who practice family law are committed to representing the best interest of their clients and not their own wallets/pocketbooks. Unfortunately there are still a handful of attorneys who don’t share this philosophy.
It’s not my place or style to give out names. I will only say that it is important to hire an attorney who has been recommended by someone who has actually worked with the attorney. When your consulting with an attorney ask them about their qualifications as well as their philosophy.
Divorce can be tough, make it easier by choosing the right attorney.
