Why did you hire your divorce attorney?
An impressive legal background? Great reviews? A family referral?
Whatever the reason, if you are not happy with your divorce lawyer, and
they’re not doing a great job for you, it’s time to them to go!
Every profession has wonderfully talented people. There will also be some
professionals who are lazy, not assertive, or simply just not good at
what they do. That’s just not good enough for you!
When it comes to your divorce, you need the best, most talented, highly
motivated attorney and more importantly, an attorney who will be the right
fit for you, and your case.
If you have already signed a contract, and sadly hired a dud, it’s
time to “break up” with your lawyer. As a dedicated and highly
skilled divorce lawyer and mediator I can tell you that having accomplished,
highly motivated representation when divorcing is the key to getting the
best possible settlement for you and your family. When it comes to your
future, and that of your family, there is no room for mistakes.
Here are 4 reasons to say “Goodbye” to your divorce attorney:
- Doesn’t return phone calls or respond to emails.
You are entitled to prompt communication with your attorney. Yes, they
are busy, and you are not their only client, but they should respond to
you in a timely fashion.You deserve to be heard and to have your questions
answered, and to be advised on the progression of your case.
- The Attorney You Hired Is Not Equipped to Handle Your Case.
Some cases become complex and if you are a high net worth client, you may
require a divorce attorney with a strong financial background. Depending
on the scope of your case, you may need a divorce attorney who is a highly
skilled negotiator or seasoned litigator. Not all attorneys are created
equal.If you feel your attorney lacks the expertise your case requires
you may not get the settlement you deserve!
- Your Attorney is a Mess!
If your attorney never seems to be prepared, or on top of what is going
on in your case, you’re in trouble. This can really be a problem,
and negatively affect the outcome of your case when they show up unprepared
for court. If this happens to you, don’t walk, run!! Your lawyer’s
disorganization should never waste your time, money or jeopardize your
case or your settlement.
- You Don’t Agree with Your Lawyer’s Advice.
Although you are probably not an attorney, and should take your lawyer’s
advice, your attorney still needs to listen to your wishes. If you feel
your attorney is pressuring you to accept a settlement that is not comfortable
to you, you may have a problem. After all, it is your life, and also your
decision. If your attorney can’t adequately explain the reason for
his/her advice, and the settlement offer it is not in alignment with what
you feel is fair; you may want to consider at the very least a consultation
with another divorce attorney. Get a second opinion!
If you are experiencing any, or all of the above, please call me to go
over your case, and to discuss your concerns.
As a highly trained and experienced divorce attorney and mediator with
a successful track record of over 35 years, I can help you decide whether
or not it’s time to call it quits with your current divorce lawyer.

your best interest, I can also guide you on how to properly terminate
your attorney, and how to prepare properly to do so.
