Communicating with Your Divorce Lawyer
Posted on Oct 28, 2010 4:50pm PDT
It is important to establish a work relationship with your
divorce lawyer if you are to make the most out of his/her counsel. One common complaint
that clients have is their inability to reach their lawyer. Most likely
your lawyer is at court or with another client, however, you should always
leave a message with the legal assistant or secretary. A telephone conference
or office visit can be scheduled with your lawyer; if you continue to
have difficulties, ask him/her about additional methods of communication
that might be more effective.
As each meeting is vital to your case and may be brief due to your lawyer's
hectic schedule, it is vital that you discuss all relevant issues regarding
your case, even if you feel that they might be embarrassing. Your lawyer
cannot be completely effective in helping you win your case in court if
he/she does not know all of the details beforehand.
It is worse for legal counsel to be surprised at trial because they did
not have the relevant facts than for you to experience slight embarrassment
in the confines of your lawyer's office.
