What to Expect at Your First Consultation
If you have reached the point where you are considering contacting a family law attorney, you are probably undergoing an emotional and stressful time in you life. Though it will be difficult, you will need to sort out your emotions from the facts in order to proceed because even in family law matters, the court will use a rational, business like approach.
Many people are surprised by what they learn during an initial consultation because they don't anticipate all the factors that may affect the likelihood of achieving a successful outcome. How could they? An experienced attorney is trained to apply the law to your particular situation and to work with you to get the best results possible. It is important for you to be forthcoming and honest. If your attorney does not know all the facts, she cannot be as effective as possible.
Your first consultation with Attorney Bauer is free. At the initial consultation, you will sit down with Attorney Bauer and discuss the issues most important to you pertaining to a potential divorce, an ongoing divorce case, a child custody issue, financial disputes in your divorce case or other family law matters. Attorney Bauer will provide you with choices, possible alternatives and solutions to your problem along with your chances of success given each particular course of action you should choose. She prides herself on providing honest assessments of your situation.
The other important thing to keep in mind is to ask questions. Make a list so you don't forget to ask the things that really matter to you. The adage, "There are no dumb questions," is true. Your attorney does not expect you to understand all of the issues or legal terms and will do her best to avoid complicated legal language. But if you don't know the meaning of a legal term or any legal procedure, ask for clarification. You need to understand everything that is going on so you can make the best decisions possible.
