Going to court-whether for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, to fight for custody of a child, or to enforce or modify a final judgment of dissolution of marriage is never easy. The emotional and financial damage to members of a family in crisis is often exacerbated by a legal system that seems uncaring and needlessly confrontational. Both men and women describe experiences in family court which have convinced them that the system is gender-biased, uncaring, and designed primarily for the enrichment of attorneys.
Nothing is more important in facing the challenges of family court than good lawyer- client communication. An attorney should listen carefully to what his or her client is hoping to achieve. Every attorney should first attempt to negotiate a fair and amicable settlement for his client; where this is not possible, he must then fight hard to achieve a just result at trial.
Prior to accepting a case, a lawyer must thoroughly and carefully interview a prospective client. To set up an initial conference with Nevel & Greenfield, please call us at 305-895-1284 or e-mail us. |
