Choosing Your Attorney

The lawyers at Cooper Ginsberg Gray understand that you are going through a difficult stage of life when limits may be placed on your ability to maintain relationships with the most important people in your life.

Moreover, many critical financial decisions will be made during this time, which could have lasting effects far into the future. Our philosophy is that clients are entitled to dignity, trust, and support by their attorneys.

Fairfax Family Law Attorneys

Your relationship with your family law attorney is important. It is essential that you find someone with whom you are comfortable on a personal and professional level. While an attorney may be noted in his or her field, you might not feel personally comfortable with that lawyer’s style or advice. Other times, you may like the attorney personally, but find his or her professional style or skills lacking. You must try to find the right balance of professional competence and personal comfort. At a minimum, expect the following things from your lawyer:

  • Your telephone calls should be returned promptly.
  • The billing arrangement should be explained clearly.
  • Your attorney should listen to your concerns and treat them with respect, even if he or she disagrees with your position.
  • Your attorney and his or her staff should be professional and courteous.
  • You should receive copies of important papers, pleadings, and correspondence.
