Wilson Family Law LLC, 667 Shunpike Road, Suite 5, Chatham, NJ 07928
One of the hardest moments in the divorce process is taking the first step and scheduling an initial consultation with a family law attorney. It is an overwhelming, emotional decision. Knowing what to expect at your first meeting with an attorney can help alleviate stress and empower you to get the most out of your initial consultation.
The primary goal of a consultation is for you to get to know the attorney and information gathering. The process of a separation is a long, intimate process. You want to find an attorney who you can trust implicitly to represent your interests. At Wilson Family Law LLC, our consults are conducted face-to-face, so this is an opportunity for you to share your story and learn about your legal rights. Part of that process is also getting your questions answered. This is a daunting process, and attorneys expect that you will have many questions throughout the process, and the initial consultation is a forum where you can gain clarity.
Additionally, in the information gathering, our attorneys ask for basic information such as the date of the marriage, birthdays, children, occupations, educational background, significant assets, debt, and the plan for the marital residence. Gathering this information is vital for our attorneys to have a high level understanding of your personal and financial life to understand possible strengths and weaknesses of your case and what would be advantageous for your case moving forward to achieve your goals.
At Wilson Family Law LLC, our attorneys are trained in mediation, collaboration, and litigation, so they are uniquely qualified to take the basic facts of your case and discuss which methods are best suited to your case.
An initial consultation is an educational experience, and it does not require you to immediately retain an attorney. Divorce is a big decision. The clarity you gain from the initial consultation can help inform your decision making moving forward. Our goal is that you leave feeling empowered with the information of how the legal process works and you can make an educated decision on who you want to represent you.
