Factors to Consider When Hiring a Matrimonial Attorney If you have a family, you might need an attorney at some point in life. Hiring a family lawyer will help you handle a lot of issues in your family. Before you hire one, there are things that you need to consider. These are:
Trust Worthy Ensure that you hire a matrimonial attorney whom you can trust and talk to confidently. You can’t hire someone you aren’t confident to work with. Therefore ensure you have a one on one talk to determine if you can get along with your lawyer
Availability Hire an easily accessible lawyer. A family lawyer should be highly responsive and return calls to you every time. Ask your lawyer is he can be readily available when needed. He should also be capable of meeting your needs.
Easy to Understand A good lawyer will explain everything to you in detail until you understand completely. Law terms are hard to understand for those who haven’t gone through law schools or had any case to involve a lawyer. Your lawyer should highlight to you the applicable law and that you need to understand beforehand.
Budget Choose an attorney whose fee lie on your budget. You don’t want to spend all your earnings on lawyers, right? Ask about the costs and the terms of his services too before you sign any contract with him.
Seek a Rich Attorney If you want a good family lawyer, consider one who has a sophisticated facility and who is rich too. A rich attorney has a firm where he has his associates who can stand in his place just in case you need help fast. He should also have additional resources like paralegals and secretaries.
Experience Extensive experience in matrimonial law is very important. Don’t hire someone who has no experience because it might greatly cost you. Be sure to sign a contract with an attorney who is specialized as a matrimonial attorney to avoid being on the losing end. You have the right to ask the lawyer about his experience and previous cases.
The Duties of a Matrimonial Attorney A matrimonial attorney handles every case concerning your family from your spouse to your children. Having one is very important because you won't have to go to courts defenseless. These attorneys also help with mediation in case you fall out with your family members. Below are the functions of a family lawyer:
Settlement of Matrimonial Cases Settling a case means simply coming to the end of a case and moving on to other things. A lawyer settles his client by finding out his clients expectations before negotiating with the opposing party. A good matrimonial lawyer should have the ability to convince both parties on reasonable settlement probabilities.
Marriage Counseling A family lawyer might be required to take up the position of counseling and even go as further as reconciling married partners. A matrimonial attorney first explores if the parties have thought about reconciliation or separation. The lawyer plays a role in establishing temporary agreements during the period of counseling.
Settling Custody Disputes Matrimony has several cases, but custody cases are the most crucial and delicate of them all not forgetting troublesome. This is because there are innocent minor children involved. Marital wars between spouses seem to affect the children, the most no matter how intelligent their parents seem to be. A family lawyer tries their best to settle these cases based on the best interest of the children. The lawyer interviews both parties and through that interview, he/she will be able to know if the intention of the party seeking custody is good and if he is capable of handling the kids. A family lawyer prevents violation of court orders and concerning the custody of the children and visitation agreements.
Dual Representation A family lawyer is responsible for representing both parties when asked to. This often happens when the parties want to arrange a settlement agreement. The parties might agree to settle without involving the lawyer and then ask the lawyer to prepare a draft a contract of their agreement. Other functions include preparing and reviewing a will, representing the family in court proceedings and protection of the family’s property through legal means.
Conclusion The role of a matrimonial attorney is very broad, and it requires a lot of expertise to be able to dispense their duties without going against their legal practice. For a lawyer to perform well, he must be able to understand the economic and emotional state of the client, which will determine the legal presentation. A goal of a family lawyer is to attain a fair and practical settlement.
