Common Questions About Your Family Law Case

Many clients have questions about our services, experience, and abilities during the initial consultation meeting. We have answered some of the most common questions we hear below.

What is your experience level?

Depending on your specific circumstances, you may want a veteran lawyer representing your case. However, you may also want to ensure the lawyer is well-versed in Florida law and family matters.

We will be happy to discuss Mr. Griffin’s experience during the initial consultation at which time you can also determine if we are a good fit for you and your case.

What type of cases does the law firm usually manage?

This is like the first question. You want to make sure an attorney right for your case will be representing you.

Getting an idea of who the law firm’s typical client is can help with this. If the attorney does not just represent family law clients, they may not have the expertise needed for your case. We oversee only family law cases at our law firm to ensure that you get the best representation possible.

How much do your legal services cost?

Finding quality, affordable legal services is a top concern for most family law clients. Regardless of your situation, you want to make sure you can cover the costs of legal services. We can discuss our fees and may even be able to provide you with payment options or payment plans to make our services more affordable.

Are there other options for handling your family law situation?

When you hire a family lawyer in Neptune Beach FL, their services can be costly. This is especially true if your case must go to court. Because of this, you likely want to know if there are any other potential options.

Out-of-court arrangements  can be made to help you save time and money. However, this is not always available. We can review your case and situation to see your options.

When can you expect communication from your attorney or legal team?

It is important to stay updated about the case, so this is a common question. Knowing when you will hear from your attorney will help you know when you should reach out. Be sure that the attorney you hire provides you with several methods of communication such as email and phone number.

Will you receive copies of all documents related to your case?

You should have a copy of all correspondence related to your case to keep in your personal records. Be sure you find out how the attorney will get these to you and when. A quality attorney will have no problem sending you these documents and send via your preferred method (usually email or traditional mail).

Will your case be a collaborative effort?

Will your attorney be willing to work with you when representing your case or situation? It is important to find out what the attorney’s goal is for your situation and if it matches yours. Find out if they will collaborate and even encourage mediation as a potential outcome rather than an extensive and expensive court proceeding.

What do they predict the outcome of your case to be?

There is no way sure way for an attorney to tell you what will happen with your case. However, you need to find an attorney who is confident in their abilities to help with your case and who will fight aggressively for your rights and your desired outcome. When we take on a case, you can count on us to be your advocate and ally every step of the way.
