Why hire a Family Law Attorney?
A family law attorney provides an unbiased perspective and can offer practical advice based on experience and knowledge of Florida law. An attorney also functions as an intermediary, helping to reduce direct conflict between parties and facilitating smoother communication and daily life function during the pendency of your family law case. Having the right attorney by your side is crucial. Here are some key considerations to help guide your decision in selecting the right attorney to be your advocate:
1. Compatibility and Trust
Navigating a family law matter, particularly a divorce, can be emotionally taxing. We understand that a family law case is not only a legal action, but an emotional and psychological process for you and your family. Having an attorney manage the legal aspects will reduce your stress and allow you to focus on your personal well-being. Given the personal and sensitive nature of family law cases, it’s critical to feel comfortable with your attorney. You and your family law attorney might need to have some very uncomfortable conversations, so you need to have an attorney that you can confide in.
2. Experience and Dedication
Family law is a unique area of practice that encompasses a variety of issues, so it’s essential to hire an attorney who has experience and a passion for family law. An attorney will understand Florida’s specific laws and procedures pertaining to family law, ensuring that your case is handled correctly and efficiently. With your assistance and input, your attorney will prepare and file all necessary legal documents for your case. Your attorney will be your advocate to ensure your rights are being protected.
3. Approach and Strategy
Different family law attorneys have different approaches to handling cases. At Lichtblau and Goldenberg, we strongly believe that most family law matters can be resolved without the need for trial.
