Phoenix Family Finances Lawyer
Dedicated to Helping Clients Find Cost-Effective Solutions to Divorce
There are many family law and divorce lawyers who do whatever they can to increase their bills. They are in it just to get paid, not for the best interests of their clients. We at the law office of Bruce D. Brown PLLC are different. Our lawyers and staff are committed to clients, partnering with them in their family law cases. We are sensitive to the specific needs of each client and understand that legal representation can become extremely costly. Though the advice and guidance of an experienced attorney can be beneficial, we work with clients to ensure that we can keep their legal costs down whenever possible.
Having copies of financial documents, tax returns, insurance policies and other documents can be a great first step in the process. The more you can educate yourself on the family's finances, the more information you can get across to us. That way, we can assess the possibilities for the case and make a determination about how many hours may be poured into your case, or completed by you when possible.
Doing the Leg Work
Standing in line to request documents, obtaining copies, doing research: all of these activities are things that a lawyer would bill a client for. However, our firm works closely with clients and allows them to do a good portion of the leg work on their own in order to keep their costs down. The more leg work you can do on your own, the less you pay your lawyer. Also, the more information you can obtain, the smoother the case may go. This can also keep costs down, as the faster the case is over, the sooner you can stop paying your attorney.
Animosity Will Run Up Your Costs
Spouses who are steadfast in their desire to argue about the divorce and related issues will inevitably spend more money on the divorce. This is because contested divorces get drawn out longer, more research is involved and more attorney involvement is required to ensure your rights are protected. Typically, more fighting causes more court hearings as well. Taking a case to court is also more expensive, which is what has to happen in contested divorces. If you want to keep your costs down, it may serve you to work with your spouse as much as possible to secure a resolution.
We focus on helping our clients move through their divorces and family law issues as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible. For answers to your questions, contact us by e-mail or by telephone at 602-639-4574. Our lawyers can assist you in understanding your rights and options for moving forward with your life.
