I like to describe my law practice this way--- as "practicing real law for real people."
What does this phrase mean ? It means that my practice consists of handling the kind of cases most regular people have such as:
--- Divorce and Family Law Matters
--- Wills, Estate Planning and Probate Matters
If you're looking for a big downtown Dallas firm, we're not that firm. If, on the other hand, you want to work with a lawyer who knows who you are and exactly what your issues are, we are that firm. You won't be handed off from one junior associate attorney to another as you would in a high dollar firm. Rather--- together we will work as partners in going through the legal process to handle the difficult legal matters that you and your family are facing. There is a lot to be said for being on a first name basis with your attorney. In my mind, it shows that your input, issues, and family are properly valued--- after all, it's your life--- not just a case.
Once the current legal crisis is over, you and your family are not alone. Much as you might have a family physician, I consider myself a "family lawyer" and am looking forward to developing that long term relationship with you. This means that if you have a legal problem in the future, you will have the security of knowing who to call.
While I am sorry to be meeting you under the difficult circumstances you currently face, I do look forward to helping you understand your options.....

In 2006, I hired another attorney to help me with my divorce (not Ms. Fitzgerald).
