Finding the Right Divorce Lawyer

Because no divorce is the same, the law governing it is very technical and very specialized. Anyone looking at a family law case as “only a divorce” is in for a real awakening.

Family law litigation is different from almost every other type of litigation because the parties are much more emotionally involved. In an emotionally charged situation, your attorney should be honest and upfront with you about their own experience and background. 

Some lawyers seem to think that it is always best practice to do things formally and to “put on a show of force” for their clients. Unreasonable “hardball” practice leads to difficult and stressful situations and does not benefit the client - it typically causes the client to be billed more and therefore, costs the client more money.

An attorney must not only be thorough but also show compassion for their client’s circumstances and realize that this is a very painful event for the client and their family. At Langley Law, we are of the mindset that we are not breaking a family up, but rather, restructuring it. If you are interested in finding out more, contact Langley Law - we’re here to help!
