I try to approach my cases by remembering that each case is about a family and not just a case file. In my opinion it is a family lawyer's job to work toward as amicable a resolution as possible without failing to advocate for the wants and needs of the client. In many cases healing can happen during the case and the parties complete the transition in their life with better communication. However, in some cases we do have to zealously advocate for a client in a poor situation, at which time it is our job to fight for our client's best interest. I also feel that it is my job to provide a client with all the options and potential consequences in a case. Unfortunately, that sometimes means correcting my own client, but people hire us to protect them, not to always tell them what they want to hear. (It comes better from me than a Judge!) My goal is to help clients transition through the process with integrity and protection.

Horrible experience
Please do you research before hiring a family attorney. I hired this attorney and she was absolutely horrible. I called multiple times asking when the process would be started, as there was only a few days to respond to being served by my Ex who was trying to get full custody of our children. Every t...
I understand that family law is difficult for everyone and that there can be perceived pressures. I had to go back to 2017 to find this case, which is perhaps why the details are skewed. The consultation was held on 10/23, the retainer was signed on 10/25 and returned to the office by the potential client, the payment for hiring the office was processed on 10/27, which was a Friday. The case file was set up and the pleadings were drafted on Tuesday, 10/29, within 48 business hours of being retained. The only 'excuse' ever provided was that my assistant did not file anything without me reviewing it and it would be reviewed and filed with the week. The client then withdrew representation, was not charged for the work we did, and filed her pro se answer on 11/2. It was less than a week between being hired on Friday and the client withdrawing representation, receiving a refund, closing our our file and her filing her own answer the following Thursday. The answer deadline was 11/6, so there was never any risk of default.
