What should I do first?
Meeting with a lawyer for an overview of your legal rights and responsibilities and those of your partner is important. If you are concerned about legal fees, choose to pay for at least one initial consultation to obtain preliminary and very essential information to fully understand your situation. Consulting with a lawyer allows you to find out your best options. I will offer you clear, concise advice at this early stage.
Initial consultations will help you to identify the issues, discuss strategy and learn what options are most likely to lead to a fair settlement. I will listen to you about your needs for full or limited involvement and we will provide you with a recommended plan for going forward.
