Why Attorneys Who Go To Trial Make The Best Divorce Lawyers
When you are searching for a divorce attorney who can best handle your separation, there are many factors that can impact your experience. As you are guided through the difficult process of divorce from your partner, an attorney who values honesty and communication can be valuable. However, there is another crucial factor that you should take into account: attorneys who know the court system.
Going to court is one of the best ways to truly know and understand the law. Trial experience provides attorneys with the practical knowledge of what is possible in a courtroom and what judges might allow in different situations. In every divorce case, your story has to resonate with the judge, and they have to understand what you’re asking for in relation to the legal standards set by the state. A trial-experienced lawyer can present your case effectively. Attorneys who aren’t familiar with divorce trials may propose solutions or set unrealistic expectations that will annoy judges and make them less likely to grant your requests, even if your divorce is uncontested.
By working with an attorney who is experienced both in and outside of the courtroom, you can go into the divorce process with confidence that your representation knows when and how to settle your case. They know when settling a divorce is the best solution and when contesting a divorce in court can have a better outcome.
Cook, Will and DuPage counties are some of the more litigious domestic relations divisions in the country because of how they operate. When you’re filing for divorce in this area, it’s crucial to find a divorce attorney who is ready to go to court and confident enough to stand before a judge and advocate for your rights.
It is important to remember that if you hire an attorney who doesn’t go to court and the case does not settle, you will likely have to find a new attorney to represent you in court. When you hire a trial-ready divorce attorney, they can guide you through the divorce process from beginning to end and provide honest guidance about the best path to resolution.
Our attorneys at O'Connor Family Law, P.C., have the trial knowledge and experience to help you navigate your divorce with confidence.
