Why You Need a Family Court Lawyers in Lucknow

Every person who is dealing with family law issues without the assistance of a lawyer is at a serious disadvantage. That person is going through a very emotional time in which it is difficult to see things objectively, make good plans, learn all the complexities of family law, and to interact productively with the other parties to resolve matters.  Judges think that people who try to deal with family law matters on their own have very poor judgment.

 

Hiring a Family Lawyer should be an investment.  The lawyer should be, depending on your circumstances, either getting you more than what he or she costs in legal fees, or preventing you from losing more than the legal fees.  Having a Best Advocates in Lucknow High Court will save you money.

 

Family Lawyers Should Help Not Harm

 

Family Lawyers belong to a “helping profession.” Most family law lawyers are not litigation or trial lawyers in the traditional sense.   Many of them belong to professional organizations that also include psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other helping professionals. 

 

Family lawyers do spend a lot of time in negotiations or in court, so they do have the skills to “destroy the other side.”  But that strategy is more often harmful to their clients than helpful. 

 

Family Court Lawyer in Lucknow knows that the best resolution for their clients is the one that is done quickly, amicably, and inexpensively without their client giving up too much.  It is only when the other side insists on a destructive, “destroy to win” course (usually this strategy is only used by self-represented litigants), that Family Lawyers “use their fangs” to stop that type of harmful behavior.

 

The first step that a Family Lawyer takes is usually to write a letter to the other party telling them their client has a lawyer and the other party should get one. The “first letter” from a Family Lawyer almost always ends with “have your lawyer contact me.”  This may seem like a bad strategy because a case between a lawyer and a “self-represented” party should be a “battle of wits in which one combatant is unarmed.” 

 

That is true.  But in trying to wage the battle without knowing what they are doing, the self-represented litigant often does things, accidentally or intentionally, that does more damage to both parties, while helping no one.  This is a “shoot everyone and let God sort it out”  strategy in which the self-represented litigant is very lucky if all he or she does is shoot him or herself in the foot.  Some Family Court Lawyer in Lucknow does not want to take on clients when the other party is self-represented because they have to watch while that self-represented party destroys the family and all its resources while accomplishing nothing.
