In this episode of Gavels Down, Voices Up, I’m diving into the vital role attorneys play in divorce cases. I break down exactly what legal advice is, how it’s different from general legal information, and why having an attorney by your side can make all the difference. I'll also share the potential risks of representing yourself, the emotional challenges you might face in court, and the three most important factors to consider when hiring an attorney—cost, trust, and honest conversations. Whether you’re getting along with your ex or gearing up for a contested battle, I’ll help you understand why getting legal advice is crucial before making any major decisions.

Let’s talk about how you can protect your future, your family, and your rights in the courtroom.
