A domestic relations case is the most personal of legal matters. It is likely to bring out your deepest emotions and most extreme feelings. Over the years, the legal issues related to the termination of marriages have grown increasingly complex. You will be sharing with your attorney (and the office staff) detailed information about your family (including your children) and your financial affairs. You undoubtedly will have many questions about legal procedures and practical problems related to your specific family-law situation. Good communication is an essential part of all attorney-client relationships, but even more so when dealing with a dissolution, divorce, child-related, or post-decree proceeding. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you choose an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer who you trust. With the attorney you hire, you should be able to: talk comfortably; share information; have a common view about how to present your case; and, find a supportive relationship.
