“Lawyers just make things worse—and they’re expensive!”
We hear it all the time. And honestly? Sometimes it's true.
There are lawyers who escalate conflict unnecessarily, who feed off their clients’ anger, stir the pot, and turn minor disagreements into full-blown legal battles. These cases often drag on, cost a fortune, and leave everyone emotionally drained… except the lawyers, who walk away with the win (and the billable hours).
But not all lawyers work that way. And good divorce lawyers certainly don’t.
There’s a new kind of lawyer out there, one who sees themselves not as a fighter, but as a problem solver. These are Collaborative Practice lawyers. They work with their clients to reach fair, lasting agreements that make sense for everyone involved. They help people move forward, not get stuck in years of resentment and legal fees.
Instead of fueling the fire, they help calm it. They guide clients through tough decisions with clarity, empathy, and strategy. Most importantly, they focus on creating solutions that are sustainable, respectful, and cost-effective.
Here’s a perspective shift: Divorce lawyers aren’t that different from mechanics.
Sure, some’ll overcharge and upsell, fixing things that were never broken. But most people still take their car to a mechanic when it breaks down because they recognize it’s too important (and too complex) to fix on their own.
But when a marriage breaks down? Many people try to navigate it solo, often because they’ve heard lawyers will “just make it worse.”
Ask yourself: Which has a bigger impact on your life, a broken car or a broken relationship?
Maybe it’s time to ask for help with your separation and try fixing the car yourself.
The bottom line? Choose wisely. Find a lawyer who listens, who cares, and who’s committed to helping you build a fair resolution that lasts. That’s exactly what we do.
We’re here to help you move forward, efficiently, respectfully, and with your dignity (and finances) intact. Then, once that’s sorted, you can ride off into the sunset… assuming you’ve handled that car situation, of course.
