5 Reasons You Need an Garner Family Lawyer
No one expects needing a family lawyer, but dealing with certain issues in a Johnston County family court can be critical for you and your family. You owe it to yourself and those you love to get the best possible advocate fighting for your interests. Consulting a lawyer can feel scary, but useful advice and experienced legal guidance can be the difference in your family’s future.
- You Need An Objective Opinion.
Emotions run high in family law matters. The impact of a divorce, estate planning, or custody agreements can last a long time and influence things you don’t anticipate. By working with a knowledgeable Garner family attorney, you can benefit from unbiased advice, based on the law and what’s best long-term. Check out our legal blogs for frequently asked questions about family law, such as our financial tips for divorce.
- Things Need to Be Accurate.
Don’t try to cut costs by using DIY court documents or representing yourself. Doing so is risky because even simple divorce mistakes, like failing to include certain financial information or missing deadlines, can seriously hurt your case. A lawyer can review your documents, look out for critical oversights, and ensure everything is complete and on time.
- Lawyers Know the Law
There is a reason attorneys undergo considerable education and training before practicing family law. Even an apparently simple issue can involve things that most people wouldn’t see coming. Without an experienced lawyer like Jonathan Breeden looking out for your long-term needs, you could end up in an arrangement that’s less than fair or that you don’t agree with.
- You Should Protect Yourself.
Even when everyone seems to agree, if someone doesn’t have their own attorney, they are at a disadvantage. Your former spouse’s attorney will not look out for you. And all too often people will agree to dispositions outside of the courtroom, unaware of the legal consequences. Having your own, dedicated lawyer protects you.
- You May Need to Go to Court.
Going to family court in Garner, NC is no one’s first choice. While there are alternatives like negotiated settlements and mediation that your lawyer will pursue, if no one agrees, then a judge or jury will likely have to decide. In this case, working with an experienced and successful trial attorney only benefits you.
