If we agree on everything why do I need a Lawyer? More often than not when someone tells me they don’t have any contested issues in their divorce, they simply haven’t thought of everything that needs to be addressed. It is important to have an lawyer that is looking out for your best interest. If you are giving up something that you are entitled to, that is fine, but you need to know what your rights are. A qualified family law lawyer can help you craft a marital settlement agreement that covers all aspects of your separation to ensure your divorce goes as smooth as possible.
