Is your divorce attorney a peacemaker or pot stirrer?

June 18th, 2010

Most breakups have a degree of hurt feelings, anger, and drama. Do you want your attorney to make these issues better or worse?

Yes, it feels good to know that your spouse was given a hard time for something that he or she did, but ultimately, does that get you any closer to your goals? Does it help you pay the bills? Does it help your kids?

As attorneys we are to zealously represent our clients, and you need to decide what that means to you. At our law firm, it means that we help our clients reach their goals in the most cost effective manner possible with consideration given to the client’s future. We do consider ourselves peacemakers, not pot stirrers.

Sometimes peacemakers cannot achieve peace, and the case must go to court. Does that mean we take a nuclear approach? No, we don’t. Quite frankly, most judges do not even appreciate that kind of approach. We get our job done in a respectful manner because that is the best way for our client to achieve their goals and embrace their new future.
