What to Look for in a Separation Lawyers in Hamilton
Are you going through a separation from your spouse or partner? Are you searching for a lawyer in Hamilton to handle your separation or divorce? The ending of a relationship is never a pleasant experience. It is often emotionally devastating for both parties and is almost always stressful, even in cases where the separation is amicable. At Atticus Legal, separation lawyers Hamilton NZ, we can help.
It’s important that your lawyer not only knows what they’re doing but also has at least some empathy for your situation. A simple expression of human empathy counts for a lot. It can help reduce the stress of the situation while knowing that your legal interests are promoted and protected. At Atticus Legal, separation lawyers Hamilton, we realise that we are not counsellors, but we’re human too. We promise to treat you with the dignity you deserve and to handle your legal affairs with tact and sensitivity. You will not be treated as just another cog in the wheel!
Atticus Legal – Separation Lawyers Hamilton NZ
- Experience in Family Law: A good separation lawyer is either going to come from a firm that specialises in family law or is going to have that special personality that treats clients as real human beings.
- Our range of services includes relationship property contracting out agreements (Americans call them ‘pre-nup agreements), relationship property settlement agreements (after a couple separate) and filing for divorce (dissolution of a marriage).
- Focus on Negotiated Outcomes: In most cases, both parties to a separation simply want a fair division of relationship property. A lot of people don’t realise it, but 9 out of 10 cases conclude with a negotiated settlement, without any need to go to court. American tv is misleading! Court proceedings are very expensive and stressful and most people don’t qualify for legal aid, so the natural result is usually a negotiated settlement.
- Sometimes people think they want an aggressive ‘bulldog’ for a lawyer. But the most effective and intelligent lawyers I deal with are usually quite the opposite. Don’t mistake bluff and bluster for intelligence. It is usually a sign of egotism masking inadequacy! Often aggression from your lawyer will only achieve delay in an inevitable settlement – and you’ve paid the lawyer for his/her ineffective fruitless aggression. A waste of your money.
If that’s what you want, you are looking at the wrong firm. Believe me, I speak from experience. Over 25 years of experience. We always aim for negotiated outcomes and we pride ourselves on having positive, empathetic relationships with our clients. Separation is a stressful and emotionally trying time, but we will do our best to sort out your legal affairs as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.
