Come to Friedman & Friedman PLLC, Attorneys at Law for a consultation with a Westchester County family lawyer regarding your case. During your meeting, you will meet with a divorce attorney who can review your case, give you an honest and straightforward evaluation of what you are up against, and provide you with a list of options so that you can make educated decisions.
Having someone by your side on whom you can rely for legal advice and personal support can make all the difference in easing the end of your marriage. Our seasoned and professional divorce attorneys in Westchester County, NY are ready to help ensure that your needs are addressed and that your interests are not overlooked during your divorce.
We are a fully matrimonial and family law firm—that is all we do, all day, every day. This encompasses everything you would expect, including divorce, child custody issues, and other matters relating to children, such as child support. We handle orders of protection in cases of domestic violence, as well as divorce-related matters like equitable distribution and all support issues, including spousal maintenance and child support. We assist clients with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and we can help facilitate divorce through different methods. There is collaborative law, which allows people to navigate divorce outside the courtroom, and litigation, which takes place inside the courtroom—we handle both. Additionally, we represent clients at the Appellate Division if they choose to appeal their case. The most important thing is helping our clients through what is often one of the most difficult experiences of their lives. The mission of the firm, from my perspective, is to treat others how you want to be treated. It’s that old adage. I want our clients to feel that we are here for them, that their experience is personalized, and that they will emerge from this process successfully. Our firm’s mission is to ensure that every client receives the highest level of service possible—tailored to their specific needs, their family, and their unique circumstances.
Reasons You Need a Lawyer for Divorce
With most of the world being online, using web-based DIY divorce software could be tempting. Or if online is unappealing, you might also try to get through the court-required paperwork on your own. These options exist but you will be better served by a seasoned attorney with a rich background in divorce law.
Below are a few reasons why a DIY divorce isn’t in your best interests:
- Online divorce sites may not provide county-specific paperwork required by local courts.
- Courts mandate deadlines that must be met at each step in the process.
- You may still have to go to court after filing.
- You can be stuck with an agreement that is unfair.
- You may overlook some assets and other legal rights.
- Your parenting agreement may not take into account future needs.
No matter how friendly you are with your soon-to-be-ex, they are not going to look after your best interests. They will first look after their own. You need someone in your corner to advocate on your behalf, to find all assets, and ask important questions you might not otherwise consider.
Mistakes made during a DIY divorce will have long-lasting impacts. Hire a lawyer to navigate the complex legal system, letting you focus on moving forward.
