We all go to attorneys to have an advocate…someone who will look out for our best interests, explain our legal options, and outline the potential risks (such as losing a motion and being hit with paying attorney fees for the other party). When lawyers are accused of unethical behavior by their professional equals and when they take actions that, at the very least, make them appear to be involved in unscrupulous and unethical behavior, what are we to do as a society?
If you’re looking for an attorney to help you through a divorce, make sure that you check public records and check with the bar association to find out if they’ve had any serious complaints filed against them. Understand that there are risks involved and keep the best interest of yourself and your children in mind. A peaceful resolution is the best solution for all involved.
