Before determining an approach to a specific legal matter, Family Matters Law Group wants to know where you see your case going and what you expect to accomplish as a result.

YOUR DESIRES. Some law firms and attorneys will immediately begin spewing out what they can do for you without first knowing if that is what you truly want them to do. When you are clear about what you wish to accomplish, that’s where we begin our approach.

MAKING YOU MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE. We don’t just pride ourselves on being knowledgeable about family law, we also pride ourselves on the way we educate our clients on family laws. We take the time to show you actual statutes and case law that relate to your case and discuss how your facts fit or do not fit. Your knowledge of the law will help guide you in the decisions that you make and the outcomes you desire.

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS. Unfortunately, there are so many other law firms that will tell you what you want to hear just to get you in the door, even though they are aware that the laws do not support what you may be seeking. We do not accept every case because we understand that hiring a firm to represent you requires a mutual connection between the firm and the client. Along with this connection comes the courage of that firm to properly manage the client’s expectations alongside the realities of the laws governing family. Put another way, our firm absolutely will not improperly lead you to believe what we know is not true simply to make you feel good or retain our services.

We do not take every case that walks through our door. Instead, we are driven to take on new clients based on our belief in our client’s case and cause. It is the unyielding belief in each client, that produces solutions to their family law matters.

This time, the devil is not in the details. The devil is in failure to explore every detail of your case so as to achieve your desired result. We work up every case for trial with the intention of highlighting how every relevant detail in your case is a basis for an award in your favor.

When you call, text or complete the contact form to set a consultation with Family Matters Law Group you will be provided with detailed information about what to expect and what to bring to the appointment. You will also receive a welcome letter from one of our attorneys. Every consultation is a comprehensive and detailed one-hour time slot which affords you the opportunity to ask any and all questions you have about your case and receive a host of information relating to strategy and possible outcomes. Our consultations are offered at a reduced rate and must be paid first, to set and secure your consultation time.
