Changing Lawyers in the Middle of Your Case

It is not uncommon for divorce clients to change lawyers in the middle of a case. Most people facing a divorce go to the first attorney they find often the attorney who did their real estate closing or helped with a traffic ticket. Many "general practitioners" are ill-equipped to handle the intricacies of a difficult or complicated divorce. Other people hire a divorce specialist, but soon conclude the chemistry isn’t right or that the lawyer cannot or will not properly prioritize the client’s objectives.

If the lawyer you first hire isn't getting the job done the way you want no matter how far along your case is bite the bullet and start calling some REAL divorce attorneys. In the long run, you'll be glad you did.

You Won’t Lose Money: When our law firm is hired in the middle of a case, we give the client a courtesy credit to cover all of the work we do to make the attorney substitution and for our lawyers to “get up to speed.” We take care of firing your existing lawyer (you won’t have to make that uncomfortable phone call). We also get a final bill from your old lawyer and go through it to make sure you’ve not been cheated or gouged.

You can have a new team of lawyers working on your case immediately... and it won’t cost you a penny to make the change. Call our office if you’d like to talk about changing lawyers.

Here’s How It Works: When you hire our law firm in the middle of your case, we will send you a form to sign. We’ll then file our own Appearance in your case and make our introductions to your spouse’s attorney and the judge. We’ll notify your current attorney and demand that he turn over your file and a detailed ledger of your account. We can do all of that on the same day you hire us – at no charge to you.

We’ll take care of the change-of-attorneys procedures at court – again, at no charge to you.

We’ll go through the file with you at your convenience and make sure you understand exactly where things are and the strengths and weaknesses of your case – again, at no charge to you.

All of that is at no cost to you.

We’ll prepare for you a sound strategy and begin to put it into action. We’ll keep you up to date, well informed, and well advised. You’ll get excellent representation and for that, you’ll pay a reasonable fee.
