Rosen Law Firm

ROSEN LAW FIRM

1. Do you concentrate on divorce law? Family Law issues are complex. You want an attorney who limits their practice to divorce law, someone who will recognize the issues in your case, know the recent changes in the law and be sensitive to the difficult process you’re going through ... not a dabbler who deals with a traffic case in the morning, a will over lunch, a landlord-tenant dispute in the afternoon and squeezes your case somewhere in the middle.

Exclusively practices divorce law, including related issues such as custody, property distribution, alimony & child support.

2. What are your credentials in this field of expertise? You want a Board Certified Family Law Specialist on your team and attorneys who are knowledgeable about state and federal laws in custody, tax, child support, insurance, property rights, and retirement plans.

Board Certified Family Law Specialists involved in all cases. Family Law experts who regularly provide testimony and lecture to North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina judges, American Bar Association & numerous law schools.

3. Are you trained in alternative forms of dispute resolution? More than 90% of divorces are resolved, by agreement, without ever going to court.

A No Court  Divorce can save you significantly in time, money and heartache. Lawyers trained in other forms of divorce resolution help you maintain control of the process, retain your dignity and provide a chance to be heard.

All Rosen, attorneys are trained in mediation, collaborative divorce, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

4. Can you tell me upfront how much this is going to cost me and will you guarantee that price? Be sure you know in advance what your divorce will cost. If an attorney cannot pin down fees for representing your interests, look for a lawyer with the experience and knowledge to advise you properly. If you choose to work with a firm that charges by the hour, get them to tell you how many hours it will take and get it in writing.

You are quoted a guaranteed fixed fee on day one. No extra charges for phone calls, faxes, photocopies or postage. No hourly billing with unexpected additional fees.

5. What do I get for that price? Make sure this includes all services necessary for resolving your case (see client needs assessment) or get those costs confirmed in advance in order to make an accurate cost comparison.

All services, including conferences, obtaining information from you and your spouse concerning your assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and

making recommendations concerning property division and support; settlement negotiations with your spouse's attorney; the preparation or review of a separation agreement and property settlement; and — if litigation is anticipated — all litigation documents, discovery, trial preparation, settlement negotiations and trials.
