“Place your trust in your attorney. We are here to fight for your rights, and in that process, clear communication and honesty are pivotal. Our profession is not about passing judgment; rather, it’s about providing support and offering legal perspectives to navigate through your family matters.”
– Brenda Aranda
“Be as open and honest with your attorney as you can be. Tell us everything. We have heard it all, and nothing is shocking or surprising.”

– Victoria Cernadas
“Before your initial consultation, write down a list of important questions you want your attorney to answer and bring them with you to the appointment. Listen to your attorney’s advice and follow their instructions.”
– Mellody Brewer
“Trust your attorney and follow their advice. Our attorneys have your best interests at heart.”
– Michala Moore
“Get in and hold on. Be patient and trust the process. Take a deep breath and know that we’ve got your back and are going to do everything we can to protect you.”
– Becky Stephens
“Your attorney-paralegal team is on your side and here to support and navigate you through the process effectively to achieve the best outcome for you and your family.”

“Stay as organized as possible. The more organized you are, the more likely it is for your case to run efficiently. Additionally, trust your attorney and paralegal team. We are here to support and advocate for you.”
– Jessica Cannon
“Keep a notebook where you can write down your questions as you think of them and keep detailed notes on possession exchanges and any other matters that may be important to your case.”

“Regarding supporting documents, it is worth taking the extra time to keep PDF statements organized and separated by account. This will help save you time and money when the attorney reviews the documents.”
– Hayli Marshall
“The more organized you are, the more successful your case will be. Whether that means organizing your financial information and documents, or organizing your children’s information, if applicable. No matter how large or small the case is, your attorney will need all that information, so the quicker you can get that information to your attorney in an organized manner, the more efficient your attorney can be in helping you with your situation.”
– Cindy Watts
“Be very careful what you put in writing – it can and will be used against you in court!”

“I understand how emotionally draining and mentally exhausting this process can be. Remember, your children are just as emotionally vulnerable as you are. Let your love for them guide your decisions, rather than your feelings towards your ex.”
– Meredith Lanis
“No one truly wins in a divorce; it’s a process to help you move forward to the next chapter of your life. Keeping this perspective can help you focus on what really matters.”
– Rona Natal

– Caroline Rose
“Divorce can be overwhelming, so don’t hesitate to seek counseling if you’re struggling to cope. If children are involved, support them through this difficult process. Avoid discussing all the details with them or using them as messengers.”
– Natalie Turner
