When you arrive to our office either Chris or Cindy will greet you.  She will get you settled in one of our conference rooms.  Once you are seated, she will go over our Client Intake Form with you.  This form gives our office information such as addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and dates of birth.  After the intake form is complete, she will process the payment for the appointment and ask if you have brought any documents with you that you would like your attorney to review.  If you do, she will make copies of the documents for the attorney’s review.

Chris or Cindy will then bring your file to the assigned attorney, who will review your file briefly before coming in to meet with you.  During the meeting with either Ms. Frye or Ms. Bruce, they will go into greater detail of your situation and what your goals are.  After the consultation, you will receive a business card with the attorney that you have met.  If you have a question a few days after your appointment, our attorneys are happy to answer them via email at no additional charge.

At Frye Law Offices, we pride ourselves on having an amazing support staff. Clients have always told us that our staff has been professional, empathetic, and effective. From the first moment you contact our firm, you will find the knowledge, experience and personal attention at the time when you need it most. Please call us at 919.846.8807.

The American Psychological Association’s 2009 Stress in America Survey reveals that parents (including but not limited to divorcing parents) frequently do not know what their children feel.

If parents’ are not in touch with their children’s feelings, how are they going to know how they are coping in the break-up? Children experience most of the same feelings that parents do during a break-up–fear, sadness, anger. As parents we are all asked to do a lot, and during a break-up, it takes a concerted effort to be in touch with how your child is feeling.

The thought that children are innately resilient and that their age alone enables them to bounce back easily from tough situation is just a myth. Parents need to be sure that they are not reading their emotions as their children’s, and the more you can protect your children from the conflict, continue quality parenting, and find out how your children feel.

Remember–your children did not choose to break-up.
