Commonly Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first consultation with a family lawyer?

During your first consultation with a family lawyer, you can expect to discuss the details of your case, including any relevant documents and your goals. The attorney will ask questions to understand your situation better and provide an overview of the legal process involved. This meeting is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about their experience, approach, and fees.

How does the legal process for divorce work in California?

The legal process for divorce begins with one spouse filing a petition for divorce, which must be served to the other spouse. After the initial paperwork is filed, both parties will engage in a process of disclosure, where they share financial information and other relevant details. If the couple can reach an agreement on key issues such as property division, child custody, and support, they can finalize the divorce through a settlement. If not, the case may proceed to trial, where a judge will make the final decisions.

Why is it important to hire a family lawyer for child custody issues?

Hiring a family lawyer for child custody issues is crucial because these matters can significantly impact your child's well-being and your parental rights. A knowledgeable attorney can help you understand the legal standards for custody arrangements and advocate for your interests in court. They can also assist in negotiating parenting plans that prioritize the best interests of your child.

  • "She knows the law well and knows exactly how to take care of her clients in the courtroom and out of it."
    Taylor is a very warm and kindhearted individual with a passion for helping others, but don't let her mild-mannered nature fool you. She knows the law well and knows exactly how to take care of her clients in the courtroom and out of it. She's a keen negotiator and strategist, working toward settlement whenever possible. She is extremely professional even when dealing with difficult opposing parties and identifies with what her clients are going through emotionally while remaining level-headed and focused on the relevant matters. I have referred others to Taylor and will continue to recommend her in a heartbeat.

  • "Her previous trial experience enabled her to play chess while opposing counsel played checkers."
    Taylor successfully got me more time with my children on a temporary basis. She even helped me be a better parent. Her previous trial experience enabled her to play chess while opposing counsel played checkers. I have a new appreciation with the need for attorneys to pivot as trial unfolds and really think on one’s feet.
