Outstanding advocacy and candor

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce procee...dings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.
