DON’T STEP INTO DIVORCE BLINDLY
Divorce. The word creates an emotional reaction. Will I have enough money? Will my children be okay? Will I be able to keep my house? Will we have to move away? How do I fi nd the right attorney who will protect me? After the divorce is fi nal, how do I pick up the pieces? Who will help me? Aside from an attorney, who else do I need to call?
The SIEGELLAW immersion approach to family law is unique. When you meet with our SIEGELLAW attorneys, we will listen to you. We will then provide you with a thorough education to enable you to move forward with your life. Most importantly, we will provide you with options and a roadmap for your future. Our recommendations may include whether we should provide
referrals for you to meet with fi nancial experts, appraisers, business valuation experts, child counselors, educational specialists, college and fi nancial aid consultants, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, retirement experts and so much more.
Finding the right fi t between you and your attorney will be your fi rst and most diffi cult challenge. First, look for an attorney specifi cally with extensive family law experience. General legal experience is not suffi cient in this complex fi eld of law. Second, see if the fi rm provides for a free initial consultation. If an attorney charges for an initial consult, that fi rm places its needs in front of yours. Third, fi nd out the reputation of the attorney. The best place to start is the firm’s website. Is the attorney a leader in the family law fi eld? Does the attorney teach seminars, educating other attorneys and judges? Is the attorney active in prestigious family law organizations? What else does the attorney do? Does the attorney provide mediation services? Is the attorney often appointed by the Courts to represent children in divorce cases? Does the attorney have other training, such as being a parenting coordinator?
Planning your future must be all about you and your needs. You may be stepping into the divorce process blind, and even scared. By hiring a fi rm committed to satisfying both your present legal needs and providing guidance for your long-term life goals, you will experience the SIEGELLAW difference, as we strive to make a positive difference in your life.
