The Beginning
“You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.” – J. Donald Walters
Perhaps you come here wondering, “is the really happening?” or “do I actually need a divorce lawyer?” And fear calling one will be a fateful step you cannot take back. That is natural, but an illusion. Stepping into a lawyer’s office is not like stepping into a fast-moving river. You will not be swept away, or lose control. You will decide what role the lawyer will have and you will decide what you do. But whatever circumstances brought you here, you must confront them. The knowledge you will get from a consultation can only help. If you are at a point where papers have been served, or have a divorce underway, you know you need a divorce specialist. If you are just at a low point in your marriage and wonder what divorce might involve, a consultation can help you decide what to do. Nobody needs to know you spoke to a lawyer and doing so will not make divorce more likely. Knowledge is power. The thing to fear is not the phone call to acquire it, but making decisions without it.
