One of the choices you’ll have to make when it comes to choosing who to work with is hiring a solo attorney or a firm with multiple attorneys. If you have a complex or highly contentious divorce, particularly if it involves significant assets, business interests, or custody disputes, it’s likely in your best interests to hire the larger firm. In such cases, a team of divorce lawyers and their collective resources is often better equipped to handle these challenges.
This blog will explain why a team approach is the best choice for your divorce – how a firm of attorneys can do more, provide more consistent support, and empower you to manage your divorce more successfully.
Teamwork That Covers Every Angle & Detail
Many divorce cases require knowledge of several different facets of the law, and every divorce case is different. Having a team of divorce lawyers on your side gives you the opportunity to address these issues holistically. A team of attorneys offers multiple perspectives and diverse backgrounds, meaning that they can tackle any problem from all angles and find innovative solutions. There is also more experience to bring – while a solo attorney might have 10 years of practice under their belt, a whole team might bring 50 years or more, collectively, meaning that there is a wide range of experiences and knowledge that you benefit from.
Members of the team view your case from multiple perspectives, enabling them to think outside the box in cases such as custody or financial conflict. Also, with the team mindset, you get the benefit of a group of attorneys who share thoughts and ideas that are challenged, with the best ones rising to the top, so you end up with the most intelligent strategies for your case.
When it comes to law, winning is as much about the right strategy as it is about well-prepared documentation. A team of attorneys that works collaboratively provides the competitive edge during negotiations or trial preparation. They’re more likely than a solo attorney to foresee possible pitfalls and construct a variety of effective arguments to counter claims.
As a result of this depth of knowledge offered by a team, you can feel confident your case will be handled correctly without any overlooked details.
Fast Answers When You Need Them
In many cases, solo lawyers with many clients just don’t have the time or resources to keep you updated on your case or to talk with you about your concerns and questions. Sometimes, they may not have the time to respond as quickly as they need to to your actual case!
This can either cause you to feel like you are in the dark and in limbo, or put you in a position where you actually experience unnecessary delays. Working with a team of divorce lawyers minimizes that risk. You get:
- Quick Answers: With many lawyers on staff, you’re more likely to get faster answers to your questions.
- Streamlined Case Management: Activities can be apportioned among employees so time isn’t wasted and your case isn’t bottlenecked.
- Personal Care: There will always be someone involved in handling your case, so you are less likely to be confused or uninformed about what’s happening!
Because divorce is such a personal, emotionally charged process, even if one lawyer does a good job of handling it, it’s tough for a solo attorney to cover all the bases, and this is an important consideration for you as you’re choosing representation. Like we already mentioned, one attorney might be able to make an excellent legal argument but not be great at providing timely updates or emotional support when times are stressful.
With a team, however, you get multiple people handling every facet of your case. Someone on the team might work on the paperwork, and someone else will make sure you are always kept informed and supported. The collective efforts of a team provide emotional support during a crisis, as well as access and attention that one attorney (however skilled) can’t offer.
