Family law is centres around emotions. Choosing the right family lawyer is critical. Like choosing the right doctor to monitor your family’s health you need to sure that your family lawyer is the right fit for your circumstances.
Everyone has a friend who has been to see a lawyer and spent thousands of dollars when all they wanted was a divorce and a quick property settlement.
While in some cases significant legal expense cannot be avoided, especially where your partner may not be happy to mediate or utilise other alternative dispute measures, it is not necessary in every case.
Your journey through the family law process need not be an emotionally scarring one either.
Time taken to choose your lawyer carefully, and make sure you have a professional you can trust, will be time well spent.
