Why You Need An Attorney To Represent You

Most people need a good attorney to be part of the divorce process. The issues discussed here may seem simple enough, but there are many pitfalls for the unwary. Retaining a good attorney is your best opportunity to ensure that the system works for you.

As with any other profession, a good attorney is an experienced attorney. The basics of divorce law are taught in law school, but the application of the basic legal principles in a particular case, however, is best accomplished by an attorney who has done it before. Negotiation skills, most important to a good resolution of a divorce case, are acquired only through actual experience. Since most people do not have the experience to handle these issues, a good attorney is essential.

A good attorney works for you. In many cases, the parties have agreed on all important issues. If so, a good attorney will discuss with the client the fairness of that basic agreement, and draft a Divorce Judgment that accomplishes the goals of the parties. If there are disputes, a good attorney can help resolve them fairly through legal knowledge and negotiating skills. If the disputes cannot be resolved, a good attorney must have the trial skills necessary to assist in getting the best result.
