Several years ago, when I began thinking about divorce, not only was I scared, angry, confused and heartbroken, but I also felt intensely overwhelmed when it came to understanding the divorce process, how things work, legal documents, and the court system. What I wanted to know was, how I could part ways with my husband and still have security and peace of mind that my kids would be OK, that I would have the custody arrangement I desired, and that I would be OK financially.
So, I went to an attorney for a consultation. The woman was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. All I can tell you about her was, I walked in there a total wreck, and walked out feeling even worse!
Instead of easing my fears by listening to my situation and educating me based on my needs, this attorney was arrogant, cocky, full of herself, mean, and beyond intimidating. I was hysterically crying when I left her office, feeling hopeless.
Because I don’t want my readers to EVER feel the way I felt, I decided to offer those thinking about divorce a free consultation with a divorce attorney who is smart, trustworthy and compassionate, and who is someone who knows the law and can give you the answers you need to get started on your divorce journey.
