The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

Insider Tips that Divorce Lawyers Wish Their Clients Knew from Susan Guthrie on Divorce & Beyond #375


Listen Later

Susan Guthrie shares insider tips from her 35+ years of experience to help you work smarter with your attorney—saving time, money, and stress. These are the strategies divorce lawyers wish their clients knew, giving you the knowledge to navigate the process more efficiently and confidently.


In this solo episode, Susan pulls back the curtain on what every divorcing person needs to know—like why your attorney isn’t your therapist (and why treating them like one will cost you big), how to communicate so your lawyer can advocate for you, and why keeping your eyes on the future is the best strategy you can have.

Here Are Just Some of the Insider Tips You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • Lean on the right expert for the right job – Your attorney is there for legal strategy, not emotional support.
  • Clear communication is everything – Your lawyer can’t fight for what they don’t know. Be upfront about your goals and priorities.
  • Stay future-focused – Where you’re headed matters more than what you’re leaving behind.
  • A great attorney aims for resolution – Litigation should be the last resort, not the first step.
