 There are definite advantages to hiring a lawyer to represent you in court. An attorney is familiar with the law and the procedural rules of the court and the judge. These are things that you will be responsible for knowing if you choose to represent yourself. A lawyer also has experience in handling custody and visitation cases. He or she will know what evidence is favorable to you to present to the judge, and which evidence to exclude if it will hurt your chances for success. Another advantage of hiring a lawyer is that the lawyer has objectivity. A custody and visitation issue usually means there is a big emotional investment involving all of the parties. Your attorney will help you to maintain perspective and make reasonable decisions with regard to your case. Also, an attorney will prepare and file the necessary paperwork involved with your case, and will keep track of court scheduling and deadlines.
Once you hire a lawyer, it is very important that you work closely with him or her, and to provide the lawyer with all of the information necessary to prepare the case. While each case is different and will require different evidence, in most custody and visitation cases, you will need to ask witnesses to testify on your behalf, and gather any evidence that will help your case. Make a time line of the events and incidents, which are relevant. It is critical that you follow the advice of your attorney and the directives of the court. An experienced attorney will help you organize your evidence and present it in court effectively. If you are considering hiring an attorney please contact our office to discuss your specific needs and to arrange for a consultation if necessary. (718) 423-6999 |
