Do I need to hire a family law attorney?

Navigating the legal system in Maryland can be complicated. It can be especially challenging understanding your rights as well as the entire legal process, when you are dealing with the emotions from a dispute within your family. At times, people going through a family law conflict, will contemplate whether they need to hire a family law attorney. Often they find that the family law legal system is extremely complicated, specifically when parties are dealing with children and shared assets.

At the Law Offices of Corrie A. Boulay, we suggest that you consult with a family law attorney, to help make the best decision for you and your family. If there is no enforceable agreement in place to direct the parties regarding custody, access, support and division of marital assets, a family law issue can become dire pretty quickly. Your family law situation is too important to mismanage. Often those who come to us after trying to figure out the process on their own, can make their family law case last much longer.

It is highly beneficial to hire a family law attorney to draft and negotiate a Marital Separation Agreement. If both parties involved are in agreement, then the attorneys can guide you to an uncontested divorce. If your case is more complicated, then we would highly recommend you engage with a family law attorney long-term. Expert attorneys will file pleadings and position you on an advantageous litigation track. Your lawyer will provide guidance on every aspect of the process.

Our team of attorneys have been successfully handling family law cases for a combined 40 years. Additionally our offices are positioned close to the courthouses, which helps to reduce our billable hours and contributes to lower costs for our clients. We offer free initial consultations to discuss how our experienced team can be beneficial to you and your unique family law issues.
