Communication and Family Law
By · Comments
From my friends in psychology, I know that that good communication is at the heart of good relationships. As an attorney, I can tell you that good communication is vital to successful legal proceedings as well. Perhaps nowhere is this more accurate than in the family law arena. However, in my experience, good communication is all too rare between individuals involved in family proceedings, which leads to a variety of unfortunate consequences.
After years of working in transactional law (that is, writing contracts related to creating business entities, or sometimes dissolving them, as well as creating estate planning documents), I began practicing family law in 1995. In transactional law, there is typically no overt conflict, and my work there focused on helping my clients make good business and contract choices, and otherwise protecting their interests. Family law, on the other hand, is a completely different ballgame. As a transactional attorney, I was typically hired to put something together to create or renew a certain “relationship.” As a family law attorney, I am hired to help clients break a relationship apart. Somewhat ironically, “family law” is about dissolving a marriage or non-marital family involving children. Thus, whereas emotions are not typically problematic in transactional law, where the work is largely about creating or renewing relationships, painful and conflicting emotions are unfortunately the norm in family law.
Representing my clients as a family law attorney, most of the time, I am working with people who loved each other very much at one time, or who may still love each other, even though the relationship failed. As a result of the pain and anger involved in that failure, the parties very often no longer communicate (constructively) any more, and instead leave crucial communications up to their respective attorneys. This can be disastrous on a number of levels.
I believe that the best way I can serve my clients is to help them to make as many of the important decisions in the dissolution of their relationship outside of the court system. This demands clear, accurate communication between the parties to a divorce, as well as between their respective attorneys.
Unfortunately, many attorneys make themselves practically unreachable for the purpose of negotiating settlements. I have found that sometimes attorneys run family law mills, and have so many cases that they don’t have the time (or make the time) to resolve cases outside of court. In other cases, an attorney sees only the financial incentives involved in dragging out a case, so that it has to go to court again and again. He has little interest in effectuating a timely settlement. (In the current economic climate, fewer people will be able to hire divorce attorneys, and I suspect that some attorneys will be seeking “cash cow” opportunities to meet their own financial goals.) Such an attorney may fail to return phone calls and/or fail to respond to letters. Ultimately, the opposing attorney will of necessity resort to attempting to resolve the case through court proceedings and/or trial.
A good attorney also manages his or her client’s best interests by promoting realistic expectations concerning what they may want, versus what they are likely to get, in a negotiated settlement. For a variety of reasons, attorneys sometimes fail in that regard. They let their clients down by promoting unrealistic expectations, such that the clients want to keep fighting-through litigation, involving skyrocketing legal fees as well as high emotional tolls-for decisions that are unreasonable and ultimately unattainable. Clients who insist on having their “day in court” are often very disappointed with the results-especially considering the expense involved. They completely lose control over the resolution of a matter when they put it in the hands of a judge. A judge, after all, is only human and may have a much different perception than that of the client.
Regardless of the reason, if one or both attorneys are unable or unwilling to make every effort to assist the clients in settling the matter out of court, the true losers are the parties involved in the divorce. In such cases, the only way that a case can be resolved outside court is by the clients communicating directly with each other and resolving the matter on their own based on the information they each learned in the course of the proceedings. Such resolution is only possible if the clients are ready, willing and able to communicate with each other. This is why I firmly believe that good legal representation involves diffusing powerful emotions and encouraging realistic, if not conciliatory goals in a divorce settlement. As difficult as it may be – often, a supportive and constructive relationship with a mental health professional is key. The parties involved need to try and keep their emotions under control and maintain good communication with each other. In the end, the positive resolution is more than worth it.

Birth Injuries and Medical Malpractice Attorneys
By · Comments
Over the years this firm has represented many parents who have brought lawsuits to recover money damages for injuries sustained by their children at the time of birth. These are heart wrenching stories of injuries to infants which could have been avoided.
The two (2) most typical types of cases are the Erb’s Palsy injury and the brain damaged baby case. You can recognize someone who has Erb’ s Palsy- they usually have a shriveled arm and hand.
Medical malpractice is defined in the law as a departure from accepted medical practice. That is, a doctor did (or did not do) that which a reasonable doctor would have done under similar circumstances. A mere error in judgment is not medical malpractice. These cases usually require a medical expert, in the same field of specialty as the doctor being sued, to testify in Court that a doctor’s treatment fell below the accepted standards of practice.
Typically, what occurs in the Erb’s Palsy case is that a baby is too large to come through the birth canal or in some other manner the shoulder becomes stuck by the mother’s pelvic bone. If a doctor does not know the correct maneuvers for extricating the shoulder he or she can, by executing too much force injure the brachial plexus (the nerve which is located over the shoulder) and cause problem’s in the arm’s development. There can be different degrees of severity of this injury. At the low end some Erb Palsy’s patients can be treated with physical therapy even with newborns) to the most severe which appear as shriveled up and useless arms and hands. This law firm has handled many of these cases.
Another typical medical malpractice lawyers case that we handle is the brain damaged baby. Very typically what happens in these cases is that the fetal heart monitor shows that the baby is in distress because of oxygen deprivation. In many cases this calls for an emergency cesarean Section to avoid the effects of oxygen deprivation to the brain. This is not performed immediately the baby can be born with an array of neurological deficits.More information on medical malpractice can be explored at www.triallaw1.com.

Ten Things to Consider When Hiring a Lawyer
By · Comments
Legal matters seem to arise when you are least expecting them, which means you have to find a good lawyer quickly to get things settled. With all the names in the phone book it is difficult to know who to hire and what questions to ask. This article gives you ten important tips for you to follow to get the best lawyer for your needs.
1) Is the lawyer experienced with your matter?
There are many different kinds of law, and the lawyer your best friend recommended may not have expertise in the area of your situation. For example, an arts and entertainment lawyer would not handle a divorce case and a criminal lawyer wouldn’t feel comfortable handling a patent law question. To find your perfect lawyer you need to know his area of expertise.
2) If you have special needs, make sure the lawyer can accommodate you before hiring them.
It’s important to make sure you can communicate with your lawyer and be comfortable while settling your legal matter. If you have special needs or items that need to be taken into consideration you might want to use those needs to help you narrow down your lawyer search. For example, if you’re not a native speaker of English, maybe a lawyer that is bilingual would be more helpful when it comes to understanding the full details of your case.
3) As with any professional, ask for references and make sure you follow through with calling them.
A good lawyer takes pride in his work and would be happy to have you talk to satisfied clients. Ask these references if they were satisfied with how the lawyer handled the case, if they were charged fairly and if they had any reservations about using them again.
4) Is the first appointment free?
When calling lawyers you’ll want to find out if the first appointment is free so you can plan ahead with your budget. Some lawyers offer an initial consultation period that’s free so they can get to know you and assess if the case is right for them. During this period they will hear your matter, discuss the direction to follow to solve the problem and let you have a basic estimated cost.
5) What are my options?
Will you pursue settling the matter out of court? It’s good to know what legal options you’ll have, if any. A good lawyer should be able to give you a brief outline of the steps he will take to get to the bottom of your case. Your case may be complicated and have many steps with motions to be filed and motions hearings. It could also be a simple case that can be settled in a single court date. If you’re lucky, the matter can be settled out of court, saving you a bundle in court costs. Your lawyer will know the best course to take for your personal interests. As always, ask questions if you don’t understand what your lawyer is telling you.
6) Who will handle my case?
In a small law firm you may have only a lawyer working on your matter, but in larger firms your lawyer may assign your case to a paralegal or another associate that helps out in the law firm. Having these assistants work with the lawyer on your case may help to keep the costs down.
7) If I have a question, how long can I expect to wait to hear back, and how will you communicate?
Communication is a big key to solving your legal matter in an efficient way. You don’t want to be calling your lawyer every day as that can be annoying and distracting, especially if there’s nothing new going on in your case. Remember that your lawyer will have court dates and times he’ll have to attend for other clients so when you make a call you may not hear from him until the end of the business day. Plus, you will pay out of your own pocket for each phone call your lawyer makes on behalf of your case, including to you.
Ask what time of the day is best to reach the lawyer. If you can, save up your questions and ask several at a time to make your phone call more efficient, but don’t hesitate to call if you have a pressing matter that can’t wait.
You should also find out how the lawyer prefers to communicate. Some lawyers may prefer to phone while others might find a quick email easier to answer. Others may like to drop a letter in the mail. As long as you know when and how you’ll hear from your lawyer you can keep your mind on more pressing matters.
What will it cost for your services?
In the first consultation visit your lawyer won’t know the exact amount you’ll be charged for his services but he should know a ballpark figure from working on other cases like yours. In most cases you’ll be expected to pay a retainer fee upfront. A retainer fee is a fee you’ll pay to secure the lawyer’s services, to hire him.
Don’t be afraid to shop different lawyer’s fees. Sometimes you can negotiate your fees or get lower fees if a junior lawyer or a paralegal handles some of your case.
9) What are the legal fees, and how will I be billed?
There are two kinds of legal fees: professional costs and disbursements.
Professional fees cover a lawyer’s time and effort dealing with your case. For example, time spent in court, in meetings or on the phone with you and time spent researching information are covered in this area. There are different ways of charging for professional costs:
An hourly rate may be applied to some types of cases.
A flat-rate fee could be applied for the amount of work the lawyer will perform. For example, if you need the lawyer to simply prepare some documents you may be charged a flat rate fee.
No win, no fee agreement. This means if you don’t win your case in court, you won’t have to pay for the lawyer’s time. Usually you will have to cover any disbursement costs.
Disbursements are costs a lawyer pays out to people associated with the case, such as fees of assorted reports, cost of making copies and other such expenses. In most cases, even a no win, no fee agreement you’ll have to pay your lawyer for disbursements.
You’ll want to make sure your bill outlines the different services you are paying for. For example, if he’s spent 3 hours on the phone with you it should be outlined on your bill. Make sure you understand all of the charges and ask questions if you don’t.
Also, asking when the lawyer expects to be paid will help you to sort out your budget and get your funds in order.
10) Ask for brochures and a copy of the retainer agreement to go over to help you make a decision.
Most lawyers and law firms will have brochures and other informational paperwork describing their services. The retainer’s agreement is a form that sets up the schedule of fees and payments up front. You’ll want to read this carefully to make sure you understand what you’re getting into before hiring this lawyer.
In Conclusion.
Having to deal with a legal matter can be frustrating and costly, especially if you don’t choose the right lawyer to handle your case. Knowing what to ask and what to expect will help you find the right lawyer so you can focus on getting your legal problems settled.
