Tell the Unvarnished Truth to Your Attorney

When you hire an attorney to represent you, it's important to give him or her the facts they'll need to represent you.  The unvarnished, no-spin facts.  I can usually sniff out the difference, and if I can't immediately, it isn't long before the real story comes out.  Sometimes, it's difficult for a client to let down the walls and tell the attorney both the good and the bad about the current situation.

In a family-law case, facts are very important -- sometimes more important that using correct law.  The facts can impact the judge's perception of which parent should have possession of a child, who should pay money to who, and how the case should be resolved.

The facts -- especially dates, times and places -- can also affect what laws are likely to apply to a particular situation.  Everything you tell your attorney in private is absolutely privileged and confidential -- unless you disclose that you are planning to commit violence or cause physical harm to another person.

If you would like your situation analyzed confidentially, please give me a call on my cell number (312-493-4241) seven days a week, and I'll make an appointment to meet with you for a thorough, confidential discussion.  There's no obligation to hire me, and you can then get 2nd or 3rd opinions from other attorneys. as a way to compare.
