WHY YOU DON’T NEED AN AGGRESSIVE FAMILY LAWYER

 

Engaging a lawyer to advise and represent you if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of family breakdown, and needing advice and assistance to navigate that process, is not something that most of us would want to have to do. It is however a reality that will confront a significant number of us at some point in our lives.

Is it important to hire an Aggressive Lawyer?

When we speak to people in that situation as they are at the start of the process and trying to get to grips with what is happening, we often hear people ask if we are “bulldogs” and whether we will be “aggressive”.

Whilst we can be those things if the client really wants it, or if the situation really requires it, we will always ask if that is really what you need? Most people only experience an engagement with the family law system once or perhaps twice in their lives. For us, it’s what we do every day. We have seen the process from beginning to end many many times.

Sometimes, individuals indicate that they want an aggressive family lawyer to represent them in their case. So we will usually respond by asking if an aggressive, bulldog approach is what will get you the best outcome? If it is not what you really need, the aggressive approach may mean that the time that you spend in the system is longer than it might need to be, that the emotional pain that you suffer is more intense than it needs to be, and the costs that you incur are much higher than they need to be.

What you actually need 

We also often hear that the only winners in the family law system are the lawyers. We prefer to think that because we are committed to giving our clients the advice that they need to hear, rather than the advice that they want to hear, that our clients are getting value for money. 

For an honest opinion about your family law situation that balances the emotional and financial costs, the time that the process may take with a realistic and practical appraisal of what is achievable, speak to one of our experienced family law team at Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast Office.

What is an out of court settlement and when Is Civil Litigation Necessary?

   The process of resolving a dispute between two parties through the court system is known as civil litigation. It can occur when one party wants to sue another over things like unpaid debts, the breach of a contract, negligence, and a whole host of other circumstances. Ideally, you want to make the process of civil litigation the last resort if possible, as it can be drawn out and costly. Therefore, is civil litigation entirely necessary to  resolve a dispute ? Are there other options open to both parties to more amicably come to a satisfactory agreement or solution? Try Negotiating An Out of Court Resolution of Court Settlement before commencing civil litigation Often times agreements can be reached outside of the court processes. This can be a lot less stressful, as well as easier on the wallet. In the case of a debt that is owed, for example, perhaps a payment plan to chip away at the debt can be agreed upon. When is Civil Litigation Required? In the case of breach of contract, pe

What is Power of Attorney and When Would You Need It ?

   In simple terms, a power of attorney is a legal document where a person is nominated to act on your behalf (known as the agent) regarding your affairs. The document gives the nominated party the legal capacity to make decisions for you on things like financial matters and other duties. The person given attorney does not have to be a lawyer, although in many cases a law firm is enlisted to act as power of attorney. Some common tasks of those entrusted with power of attorney can include, but are not limited to: The buying and selling of property Operating bank accounts Organising the paying of bills and debts The power to vote in meetings And lots more… The tasks involved will depend on particular circumstances and what the principal (the person delegating the power of lawyer) requires and stipulates. When Might You Need To Delegate Power of Attorney? Many people only assume power of attorney is entrusted to someone when the principal no longer possesses the mental capacity to make so
