Divorce lawyers don’t traditionally enjoy the most stellar reputation. I mean, it should come as no surprise. We are the mediators of your most contentious life conflict. When your world comes crashing down around you, we’re right there in the midst of it all, not as emotional anchors, but as catalysts who step in to stir an already overflowing pot. If you and your spouse don’t hate each other now, just wait until our work is finished. Okay, so I’ll grant you that hiring a divorce lawyer can be stressful, but it may surprise you to learn that divorce lawyers are your best friend. If you’re skeptical about this claim (and nobody would blame you), I’ll give you five reasons why.
1. We Know What We’re Doing
You’ve heard it said, he who represents himself has a fool for a client. Well this doesn’t just apply to criminal proceedings. If you want a fair shake in this divorce, you need a teacher, a mentor, a coach, someone who spent years slogging through law exams so that you can maintain your rights and benefit from this convoluted legal system, even if you don’t know a tort from a tortoise. When you have a knowledgeable professional on your side, the sense of relief that washes over you is simply indescribable.
2. You Already Have Enough to Worry About
Even if you have a cursory understanding of the legal system, you do not want to ride the rapids of a divorce proceeding without a qualified representative on your side. The stress of managing a divorce can be truly overwhelming, and you have more important things to worry about. Your whole life is changing, and your attorney’s job is to manage the extremely stressful paperwork and negotiations on your behalf. Don’t weather the storm alone.
3. We Know How to Work the Courts
Men and women who manage their own divorce tend to do so for one reason: to save money. But there exists an ocean of complex minutiae when it comes to dealing with the courts, and if you don’t know how to navigate those rough waters, you’re surely going to drown. We know that you want to put this painful chapter behind you as quickly as possible, and divorce lawyers understand the most effective ways to file motions and petitions, how to expedite the necessary paperwork, and how to avoid general delays. Every moment matters, and a good attorney doesn’t take that for granted.
4. Your Spouse is Probably Shopping for Attorneys Right Now
The worst thing that can happen is that your spouse hires a top-notch attorney while you decide to represent yourself. If that happens, you might as well be challenging a Ferrari to a drag race in your Honda Accord. Don’t place yourself at an inherent disadvantage. You deserve your day in court, and you need the right representation at your side.
5. Believe it Or Not, We Do Listen
As divorce lawyers, we are your best source of confidence and support, because we deal with cases like yours every single day. We are in business to help you, and we understand what you’re going through. Sometimes the greatest advantage to hiring an attorney is simply having the ability confide in someone whose sole purpose is to stand up for you. And believe it or not, we do care. We’re human, and we’re listening.
