Indiana Family Law: My Job Is To Make Your Job Easier

Many people save money for an emergency. Some people save money for vacations. Others save money for purchasing cars or houses or college for the kids. But very few people save money in case they need to hire an attorney. People hire an attorney when they have a difficult legal situation that they want handled as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

Your job is to get past your legal situation. My job if you hire me as your lawyer is to make that as easy as possible.

To do that requires 3 basic steps:

1. Developing clear goals and a clear strategy for you and your attorney to work together.

2. To be open with your attorney

3. To provide any requested information or documents as soon as possible.

These 3 principles keep the cost down by keeping the litigation focused on moving your case forward. They also help to minimize unexpected surprises and to protect any vulnerabilities in your case. An Indiana family law case is most effective when it is focused on your goals, not on simply battling your ex.

Your lawyer's job is to take the information and the strategy and apply his or her skill and experience to effectively advance toward your goals. Throughout this process, you and your lawyer are communicating and discussing how best to achieve this process.

One benefit to you and your family of taking a strategic approach is to evaluate the potential for unintended consequences of the litigation. A negative unintended consequence could be impairing what had been a workable relationship with your ex. A positive unintended consequence could be addressing emotional or substance abuse issues that had been manifesting as legal problems. Your lawyer can bring these to your attention, so you both can develop plans to deal with them.
