In an interview, Weinman suggested that those intending to divorce should take a very calm approach in selecting the right attorney as they will help secure the best result.
She warned that an overly aggressive lawyer could be a disaster waiting to happen as much as one that is too passive.
Weinman explained: ”One that reflects anger and frustration at your ex-spouse and is all fired up to extract a pound of flesh for you could have a damaging effect on both you and your children.
“Your lawyer could be making the situation much worse with their belligerent attitude. This could cause the other side to dig in their heels, rather than working toward a compromise. This could create a more complex issue than necessary, and will end up putting more money in your attorney’s pocket than in yours.”
She added that often a lawyer is seen as an extension of the client, and doing their bidding. So the more aggressive and combative the attorney gets, the more the other side will retreat to their corner and refuse to meet on middle ground.
The net effects of all this aggression could result in higher legal bills with more court appearances, depositions, and lots more paperwork. There is also the disappointment and damage that is wreaked on the lives of the children, as they suddenly become ‘pawns’ in their parents and lawyers’ drama.
“Focusing on a lawyer’s body language and terminology when they speak to you at your initial meeting may give you a glance of the tip of the iceberg – or firestorm – that you could be sucked into”, said Weinman.
To understand them better, ask them about their overall philosophy and approach to their cases, and seek online reviews, which, while should be seen with a critical eye, can give a glimpse of what you could be letting yourself in for.
Potential clients also need to be skeptical of lawyers that promise the earth. “It is hard to be objective in your own life, but try to step back and be realistic. If the lawyer is telling you that they can get you everything you want plus, more, ask yourself, ‘Is all this bluster from a lawyer just a way of getting you to sign up and deliver their retainer fee? Every divorce case will involve some compromise and sacrifice, so if they are just telling you what you want to hear, beware,” Weinman said.
She asserts that being realistic is the key to approaching divorce, and claims of mega-payouts should be taken with a grain of salt. “Ask a lawyer searching questions, probe them on their past records, and if they continue to put a positive spin on things, then they could be simply spinning you a line to get more money.”
“A lawyer that is balanced, realistic, detailed, gives an overview of the issues involved, and keeps you in the loop during the process is a better choice than one that promises the earth or one that sees a courtroom as a boxing ring,” she concluded.
