Do I need a divorce lawyer in California
Do I need a divorce lawyer is a common question that many individuals ask themselves when contemplating a dissolution of marriage in California. Many people are confused by the legal jargon and often hesitate to seek legal counsel when faced with the resonating thought of, what if the judge does not side with me? What if I loose custody of my child?
“Do I need a divorce lawyer”?
or can I handle the procedures on my own?
The good news is that you are not alone and it is normal to ask questions and think about the financial responsibilities. Let’s face it legal services can be expensive.
I recommend everyone does their due diligence and consult with a divorce expert before attempting to take on the legal system on their own. Many law firms offer free consultations; therefore, it is in your best interest to seek legal advise before you test the waters on your own. Some individuals will be able to obtain their desired legal goals in court. While others will end up putting their foot in their mouth without knowing they are hurting their case.
Over the years I have learned that it is the presentation that may convince the judge to see it your way. For instance, I had a client that hired our firm to represent her in a child custody matter. The client hired us because she was unable to get the court to side with her. After the hearing the client turned to me and stated, “ That is what I told the court! but you managed to change the judges mind.”
Yes, often it is not what you are saying to the court, but how you are presenting the facts.
There are some people that can sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo, let’s face it some individuals are good at certain things while others are not.
