Delivering Peace of Mind When You Need It Most
Chandler Winslow on Your Family and Your Future:
I represent a wide range of Dallas / Fort Worth area clients, including professionals, working parents, physicians, and their spouses or partners who want to trust that their lawyer is there for them and will protect their interests. Many of my clients are dealing with the challenges of divorce and other family law matters while also taking care of children, elderly parents, and/or pursuing a career. My goal is to alleviate the stress that comes with making life-changing decisions and help clients through the transition to a new and happy life.
Here’s how:
- Take a client-centered approach that involves listening, empathizing, and strategizing to arrive at solutions that meet the needs of each client’s individual situation.
- Enlist specialized resources and expertise such as children’s counselors, financial professionals, or mental health experts to offer support to clients and strengthen their cases.
- Apply my experience as a litigator to weigh the cost-benefit analysis of going to court against settlement.
- Solve highly contested custody issues by providing creative possession schedules and parameters while diffusing volatility between parties.
- Always keep focused on my purpose as a family lawyer to relieve clients of worrying about their case because I’m taking care of it.
