The Best Divorce Lawyer

Posted on May 15, 2013 by LegalActionWorkshop

The best Divorce Lawyer is an experienced Divorce Attorney who wishes to limit your cost while protecting your legal rights.

To find the best Divorce Lawyer for you, follow these 3 steps:

  1. Have at least 3 consultations with experienced Divorce Lawyers so you understand the issues involved in your Divorce and whether there is a likelihood of cooperation
  2. If you do not have issues or if you have issues and your spouse is willing to be cooperative, look for an experienced flat rate Divorce Lawyer as this will be your most affordable option while still protecting your legal rights
  3. If you have an uncooperative spouse and you have issues that need to be addressed by the court, look for an experienced Divorce Attorney who can handle uncontested Divorces and still  offer you a flat rate model as this will save you the most money & still protect your legal rights

There are times when an hourly/retainer model is appropriate.  This is when there is no cooperation between the parties and one or both parties own their own business.  In addition, there would need to be significant assets and/ or debt which would require discovery or other costly legal procedures.  In this type of circumstance, a flat rate is usually not recommended.

Cheap California Divorce

Posted on May 13, 2013 by LegalActionWorkshop

Most people want to save money on their Divorce–they want a ‘cheap‘, ‘quick’ and ‘affordable’ California Divorce.  An affordable Divorce is attainable!

The first step is to understand what kind of Divorce you have.  There are 2 types:

  1. Divorce with issues (property or children)
  2. Divorce without issues (no property or children)

A Divorce without issues is  usually more affordable than one with issues.  However, there is another criteria for affordability–is the Divorce contested or uncontested?  

Uncontested Divorces are easier to be finalized and hence are more affordable.

So, if you want a cheap & quick Divorce, do whatever you can to cooperate with your spouse.  Many Divorces end in default (the respondent does not respond) and these can be easy, quick and cheap.  In addition, many Divorces are uncontested which likewise can also be easy, quick and cheap.

A ‘default’ Divorce involves submitting the final ‘default‘ paperwork to the court after the 30 day wait period of serving the spouse. When the spouse does not respond, and the final paperwork is submitted, the court will either request a hearing (if there are issues to be resolved) or not request a hearing and stamp the Divorce as finalized within 6 months and 1 day from the date of service.  If there are no issues, most courts will not require a hearing.

If the parties have issues and are in agreement, a Marital Settlement Agreement or Stipulation would be prepared by one of our Divorce Attorneys which would address all issues to the court’s satisfaction.  In this case, the Divorce will proceed through the courts usually without a need for a hearing.

To speak with an experienced Divorce Lawyer for a quick, cheap Divorce, call Legal Action Workshop–the Law Firm That Offers LOW FLAT FEES.  We can be reached at 1-800-435-7444 (1-800-HELP-444).  For more information, please visit our website @ www.LegalActionWorkshopLAW.com .

Easy California Divorce

Posted on May 9, 2013 by LegalActionWorkshop

Although Divorce is never easy, it can be made easier if you understand how a California Divorce works.  Basically, there are 3 types of Divorces:

  1. Default Divorces (the respondent does not respond); there are 2 types: defaults with issues or defaults without issues
  2. Uncontested Divorces (the parties agree on issues & are cooperative)
  3. Contested Divorces (the parties are not cooperative)

If you have a Default or Uncontested Divorce you have what is considered an ‘easy’ California Divorce.  This type of Divorce is usually finalized within the 6 months & 1 day from the date of service and can be completed for a reasonable fee.  Look for an experienced Divorce Lawyer who offers a flat rate.

Contested Divorces are more difficult and more costly.  If one or both parties are self-employed or if there are financial or asset/debt  issues, Attorneys may need to do discovery which may include depositions.  Further, parents may have custody & support issues which can be costly and time-consuming.

It is best to meet with an experienced Divorce Lawyer so you understand which type of Divorce you have and how easy it will be to finalize.

For more information on easy Divorces, contact Legal Action Workshop @ 1-800-HELP-444 (1-800-435-7444) or visit www.LegalActionWorkshopLAW.com.

5 Ways to Choose the Right California Divorce Attorney

Posted on April 4, 2013 by LegalActionWorkshop

Many people make mistakes when choosing a Divorce Attorney.  These mistakes can be costly.

If you want to avoid costly mistakes and choose the right California Divorce Attorney, follow these steps:

  1. Arrange to meet with at least 3 Divorce Attorneys for a consultation:  The purpose of the consultations is to understand your legal rights and options…do not choose a lawyer at this point.
  2. Discuss the Cost:  Most Attorneys offer retainer & hourly rates. Make sure you understand that a ‘retainer’ is not the final cost.  It is based on an hourly rate.  There are other Divorce Lawyers who offer flat fees, like Legal Action Workshop. You will need to decide which payment option is best for you.
  3. Discuss the Lawyer’s Experience:  Ask the Lawyer about his/her experience in the area of Divorce.  Look for Attorneys with a minimum of 5 years experience.
  4. Check Lawyer Reviews & State Bar Records:  Make sure to check the reviews of the Attorney you choose.  You may wish to visit Facebook, Google, Yahoo Local etc.  In addition, check the California State Bar to see if the Lawyer has had any posted complaints
  5. Think about Convenience:  Make sure that the Lawyer and staff can speak with you and answer your questions in a way that is convenient for you.

If you have completed all 5 steps, you are now ready to decide which Divorce Attorney is best for you.  

If you wish to consult with a Divorce Lawyer who offers flat fees call Legal Action Workshop @ 1-800-576-6161 or visit www.LegalActionWorkshopLAW.com for more information.
