A final thought

Excellent family attorneys often lament how hard it can be to help their clients “see the better way.” We believe these thoughts will give you the chance to be open to suggestions from an excellent family attorney.

And, remember that when you hear one of these seemingly out-of-place messages from an attorney, consider how fortunate you are to have one who cares about what you really value most.

If you haven’t chosen an attorney as yet, here are three steps to use in choosing the right kind of family attorney:

  1. Complete the UpToParents.org website and take your chosen Commitments to any prospective attorney; choose an attorney willing to help you execute on your chosen Commitments.
  2. Make a copy of the Attorney's Pledge available on this website; ask if the attorney you’re thinking of hiring will subscribe to it.
  3. Find out if you have family attorneys in your area who practice some form of Collaborative Law or Cooperative Law.

You will be an excellent team for your best interests, including especially your children’s future.

We wish you and your family the very best.
