How to Work With (and Not Against) Your Family Law Attorney

Navigating a custody case or a divorce is stressful and emotional on its own. Your relationship with your attorney shouldn’t be something that adds to that stress. In this practical and candid session, Daniel Gvertz explains how clients can be effective partners in their own legal representation, avoid unnecessary costs, and achieve better outcomes. By understanding the important attorney-client dynamic and adopting practical habits, participants will leave equipped to be a partner with their attorney through the entire procedure of their case.

Topics include:

• Honesty is non-negotiable, even when you screwed up;
• Communication – fast, factual, and concise;
• Cost: Your behavior directly impacts your bill;
• Trust the strategy, discuss the strategy;
• Be proactive, not reactive, when it comes to documentation and compliance;
• Your lawyer isn’t your therapist; some questions and topics are not appropriate for communication.
